Wordpress 2
Category: Showcase
Wordpress 2.0 is apparently out the door (though the latest stable release is still listed as 1.5.1).
Asymptomatic recently listed a bunch of new features in WP2, here are some of the more interesting ones from an Ajax perspective:
- Ajax Category Addition - There’s a bunch of ajax in WordPress 2.0 and this is probably the most requested use of it. This feature lets you add new categories directly from the post-writing page.
- Ajax List Management - There are a few places in the admin that show lists of things and let you delete, like categories, posts, comments. Now, instead of reloading, the row turns red and then fades out.
- Moved Javascript/Images - Version 2.0 uses a lot more javascript than prior versions. Some utilities, like FAT (Fade Anything Technique) and SACK (Simple Ajax Code Kit), can be used by other tools and plugins, so it’s good to put them someplace where developers know they will reside, and outside of the admin directory, which might have weird permissions.
- The Rich Editor - WordPress has a new post editor built in that lets you see what you’re going to get without having to decipher tags. You can also resize the editing area on the fly by dragging it, which is pretty cool. Not everyone who has tried it likes the WYSIWYG editor, so there is an option to disable it on a per-user basis.
- Improved Post Preview - Instead of displaying the post as plain text below the editor, the post is now displayed in an embedded frame, using all of the layout and CSS that is normally applied to your site. In effect, the post looks exactly like it will when you publish it, giving you ample opportunity to review the post’s layout.

Something’s funny over there, the site serves 404s from a few of the links on the left, and the zip version of the download isn’t there yet. Maybe you’ve caught them mid-update?
The features sound great and I’m looking forward to trying out the new version though.
[...] So far working with Wordpress 2.0 has been relatively painless and left me with a very positive impression. The installation took about 5 minutes including the apache config. The plugins have been a little problematic since many don’t yet support 2.0 but considering it was just released it’s not surprising. Lastly, they’re using some AJAX which is nice to see. [...]

Ok, I promised everyone I would keep you posted on my weightl loss progress. Started the phendimetrazine diet on Jan 01 and as of Feb 23, I’ve lost 12 lbs. Its more than I was expecting. I’ll keep you posted.
I’m late for work because I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop reliving sunday (tight up until the explosion). I was able to exit from the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source by exactly e*log(pi) clocks while simultaneously rapping my dog on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. This was strange as I don’t own a dog. Accordingly I will be late for work, or early.

I cannot completely commit to Camp 1 as I do think there are times, and situations, where users have to take responsibility for their own choices. For example, if someone choses to remain on dialup when higher speed connections are available, and within their reach, I do not think I should be obliged to design with their free choice in mind. If they choose to stay with an older browser rather than upgrade, why should I have to take that into account? To do so would constrain design and possibly compromise the experience of others for no good reason. http://www.managehairloss.com
great information
Thanks for the update…
Dogs and puppies are great to have around as friends. Dogs are great for the kids too. I had a golden labrador once and they are very fun to play with the kids.
Great blog!
