WordPress 2.3

Thought I’d share a couple of at-first-glance thoughts:

I <heart> autosave – it removes one of the things that bugs me about writing “through the Web”
I still don’t <heart> textareas, even with nice WYSIWYG editors wrapped around them.
A fantastic little touch: A tag with the same name as a category become one and the same. I have a category called “Management” and when I created a tag called “management” it was renamed to “Management” to match the capitalization. The tag and category remaining separate entities, so a post can be in one or another or both.
The Tiger Admin Theme is broke. I don’t mind the stock admin so much — it’s improved a little from 2.2.
More admin themes would be nice
It seems to run a little faster, but with Dreamhost I’ll never know if a slowdown is hosting or application related.
With the introduction of tagging I really do have to finally get my act together and redesign this blog. I really like my type design on the post area itself, but the rest of the design blows chunks… maybe if I ask real nice, my fantastic wife who is a fantastic designer will help me make something that has a lower chunk velocity.
