- Direct Download (zip)

I didn’t mind the other layout from a visual perspective. This one saves a lot of vertical space however.
From a functional perspective there are a lot more great features:
- You can quickly post a draft directly from the dashboard.
- You can also completely customize the display on the dashboard and only see the boxes you want to see.
- You can batch edit posts, so if you want to change a certain word or phrase in all posts it’ll be easy.
- You can also customize the Write / Edit post page so that it only has the boxes you want and need, in the places you want them.
- You can reply to comments directly from the admin area rather than going to the post
- Once you turn the option on, you can also use keyboard shortcuts to moderate your comments (simple as A for Accept, S for Spam, D for Delete, R for Reply, Q for Edit).
- You can make posts “stick” to the top of your home page
- and many more features.

... WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane” – It’s Out! ...

Hey Kulpreet, I don’t know if you remeber me, the WordPress Boot Camp of last summer from Langley, BC?
Anyway, I just did the upgrade to WordPress 2.7 this morning and I really love it. So far I have seen no bugs in it on my site. My Akisms (spelling?) Stats worked for the first time in it too.
I’m commenting because I like the TweetGrid you have posted. That is very cool. I think WP2.7 is creating an Intranet Wave. Hope the servers keep up.
Hope to see you again sometime in the future, maybe Whistler, BC?

Hi Tom! Yes of course I remember you. It was great to meet you at the event in Langley. Thanks for your comment. I’m hoping to come out to the WordPress meetup in Whistler – will you be there?
