I just upgraded this blog to WP 2.7.  I’ve done about three other implementations of 2.7 before I got to this one.  This was actually the first upgrade (the others were just straight installs).  Everything with the upgrade went smoothly.

New Layout

I really like the new layout of the admin control panel.  Having everything down the left side creates a lot more room for the editing pane.  The dynamic layout also flows quite well when the browser window is resized.  I immediately knew I had 4 comments in moderation that I needed to deal with, and it was easy to see.  One of the only things I dislike is there is a big red 3 next to my plugins menu.  I’m not sure what that’s all about, but it makes me feel incomplete.  It’s like that error message you can’t get rid of…

EDIT: I figured out what the error messages for plugins were.  I had 3 plugins that needed to be updated.
