WordPress 2.7 and I’m Loving It

Me @ Work

As the title says it all. I’m obsessed with WordPress more after the launch of 2.7. The new Admin UI and features are just great.  What I like the most in new WordPress is the updation of plugins & WordPress. This will probably be the last time I upgraded my blog manually. Now whenever WordPress have updates to install, I’m just two-click away πŸ™‚ – awesome.  Wanna know more about the new WordPress 2.7, click here.

Oh yes, I’m alive :P. Damn, I haven’t updated my blog since ages. Okay there is so much to tell and write about so here I go:

Work:

  1. Teabreak v2.0 
    Didn’t do much on this version, just a helping hand with Shahzad
  2. SOCH ’08 
    Got this project from batty. I liked the cause and  it was great working with Rumaisa Reem and Kiran Nazish, specially Rumaisa. I hope I did justice to this project in such a short timeline.
  3. Learning jQuery 
    On a very beginner stage rite now.
  4. WAP/Mobile websites
    Did a basic WAP project at office (can’t share the link here). The optimization for mobiles take hell loads of time 😐 . But its again a good experience for me – learned something. Oh btw, my blog is now mobile friendly πŸ™‚ .
  5. My website
    Yeah I’m working on my website :). Hopefully, it will be launched by end of Jan 2009

  13. Wall E (good movie)

    Hey Zair,

    Thanks,

    sorry i absolutely detest my new wp dashboard, hope i get used to it and quick!

      @SupersizeMe : yaar! common.. u will gonna love it for sure πŸ˜€
      about thumbnails: u can see some thumbnails coming from my flickr account on the sidebar (top right)
      i just select few of them, copy and paste it to my WP post editor in HTML mode πŸ˜€ its just that simple..
      waise have u tried Media Library and Add Image option in WordPress post? may be that could help you!

    … sigh.. i’ll try!

    i dont understand all this html stuff, i’m in finance not IT! πŸ™
    it used to be so easy, it was defaulted that way, this new system is complex when it comes to image uploading.
