Does the new WordPress version 2.8 work?
It took six month since the last major update of WordPress, the world leading blog software. After upgrading two of my blogs to the new WP 2.8 i found several things not working anymore. First of all i had to deactivate the plugin “related sites”, i don’t admire having to deactivate interactivity on my blogs! But that wasn’t all. After upgrading i also lost my TinyMCE editor on both blogs – they run different themes – on one theme also found white writing on white background when i was trying to write a new post.
I would recommend to wait a while with upgrading to WordPress 2.8 until all the plugin developers had time to make their adjustments.Installing a new WordPress instance with WP 2.8 runs without any problem though. The new features are sweet. Selecting and uploading a new theme for your blog has become a piece of cake! Everything is done within the WordPress installation now! Not so cool is that all plugins went back into one bucket. The niclyseperated active and inactive plugins are already history again. A pity that is!And even less cool is that the possibility to upload and install plugins directly from the computer has been removed!
Still no changes have been made in better readability of the admin section. Light white borders around white cases with white background… Was the color to expensive guys? We all have bad eyes already from sitting in front of a computer! Make the fields more visible please!
Thenew WordPress Version also shines with better accessibility The authentication mechanism has been improved, so that authentication methods like OpenID and OAuth can cooperate easier with it, without to replace it and then dealing with other issues.

WordPress 2.8 now also adds feed links automatically to the specific page viewed by a visitor. If, for example, you view the archive of the category Internet Marketing, WP 2.8 automatically adds a feed link for that category. When you view the archive for author McHow2, it adds a feed link for that author and so on, giving it even more interconnectivity.
There is literally a ton of more changes tht have been made to the new WordPress version and there are many new featured added in 2.8. To not repeat what has been said before, here is a list of all changes and new features of WordPress 2.8
