Word Press 2.2 review
By Mike | May 17, 2007
Seems to be stable in the short time I have had it up. Does have a few nice features that I like.
If you use lots of plugins it won’t activate a plugin that will cause a problem. Nice little feature.
They have built widgets right into the script so you no longer need to get a widget plugin. If you have one you will need to make sure that it has been turned off before you do the upgrade. You may also need to resort your side bar but with the widgets that is a relatively simple task.
The upgrade does make some changes to your data base.
The one thing that I don’t care for is you actually have to click to get a preview of the page after you have saved your work. I liked just being able to scroll down to see it but you do get a full page view so it is not all bad.
This makes it very important to follow the upgrade steps to the letter. Make sure you have turned off all your plugins and pulled a backup of your data base.
I haven’t tried to restore a blog back to the previous series but would want a data base backup in case the changes caused a problem and you want to go back to an earlier version.
Overall if you like the latest and greatest do the upgrade. No big reason to rush to upgrade if you are current on either the latest version of 2.0 series or the 2.1 series.
If you are adding a blog I would use the new version. All in all seems nice but no features or reasons that I can see to change all my blogs but I will use it on the new blogs.

My take on the latest edition of Word Press after a couple days of usages.
Some good things some bad things with a podcast version too.
