Power your Imagination with WordPress 2.7

The first thing that comes in notice is how the interface is when one uses an application. And this is the most noticeable thing in the latest version of Wordpress 2.7. This Wordpress 2.7 is much faster than the other previous versions. It is available in two formats and is also known as “Coltrane”. In it every screen is customizable.

In WordPress 2.7 small layout changes are bit by bit applied. Some elements like multiple dashboards are directly implemented to wordpress.com or wordpress.org so there is nothing to worry if the changes are not deflected/reflected the same time you apply them. All the amendments made in the 2.7 version are as a result of the combined effect of the usability testing performed on the 2.5 version and Crazyhorse

After implementing latest version 2.7, it will be possible to drag and drop or show and hide many UI elements. So this Coltrane offers a good interface flexibility. WordPress Version 2.7 consisted of bugfixes, feature enhancements, and security fixes. Moreover it also provides with the facility of automatic up-gradation.
