Today I upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 on this blog.  I followed the abbreviated instructions and everything ran smoothly.

YLF will stick with an older version of the platform until we do a major update sometime in 2009, but it is great to install 2.7 on theBlogEasy to see the awesome progress the Wordpress team has made in this release. The admin UI has taken a big step forward in aesthetics and usability. It is easy on the eyes, and things seem to fall to hand in a very convenient way.

Good job Matt and the team at Automattic!
