Back in October we posted a WordPress tutorial for version 2.6.2.  Mike created another guide for Version 2.7 since it looks quite different.

Link to the guide: TBS-Wordpress_Walkthrough-2.7-V1_.pdf - it covers all the essentials for someone who is unfamiliar with WordPress 2.7.

Some of the great new features of WordPress version 2.7 are:

  • Stick Post to Front Page - you can select this option and the post will stay to the top of the front page.
  • Quick Edit - this function allows you to quickly edit any context excluding the body of the post without having to load the page
  • Quick Press - allows you to post right from the dashboard if you only need access to the title, body, tags & upload function.
  • Mass Editing - you can now edit categories, tags, status etc… of multi posts at the same time.
  • Screen Options - allows you to choose what items you want visible on the pages of the control panel. You can strip an entire post page to only show the title and body.
  • Pagination of Comments is built in to the theme
  • Dashboard - you can reply to comments & are reminded of drafts directly from the dashboard
  • Comments - you can reply to comments from the Comment admin area
  • Threaded Comments - makes discussions easier to follow

We will update the guide as feedback pours in - so please feel free to leave your questions or comments.

    Glad to hear that Jeff - I like to step back and remember that not everyone is a WordPress expert We enjoy creating easy to use guides for those that are new to the wonderful world of blogging.
