Wordpress 2.5 - New Features, Better Usability

Wordpress 2.5 has just been released. It includes some great new features and, overall, the user experience (already good) has been enhanced.

Some of the improvements include:

  • A better visual (WYSIWYG) editor
  • Native support for embedded media, such as video clips, and neat buttons on the visual editor to match this
  • A more intuitive dashboard layout
  • A nifty file uploader that supports multiple files being uploaded at once
  • Custom sizes for thumbnails
  • EXIF image support (i.e. reads the labels you put on images from your digital camera)
  • Easy creation of image galleries
  • Search now includes pages as well as posts

Sorry Movable Type, Wordpress has definitely become my favourite CMS.
