Test Drive the WordPress 2.5 Beta Version
Hey, if you’re interested in seeing what the future holds in store for WordPress, drop by the recently launched test site at ChrisJohnson.org. Here you can test out the current beta version of the most popular blogging platform on the Internet. When you arrive, you will find the default template with a bit of information about the test site. Most importantly, Chris reminds users that this is a beta version and there are likely to be some bugs still in the system.
To try out the redesigned administration panel, go to the test site login and enter the following: user name (admin) and password (demo). Try out things and see how you like it. The site is returned to the default settings each hour. Have fun and let me know what you think.
[Editor's Note: If you are interested in a detailed list of changes, visit Westi on WordPress. Each week he as been posting an update on the new changes for version 2.5.]

I have tried that link and have checked the dashboard of this new version but I can’t see anything new other than changed positions of menus. I think it is difficult to rely on a beta product but am really confused with emerging number of new releases every week. I think they should do something serious to stable the wordpress.
I am more than happy to have wordpress as my blogging platform. It is the most wonderful piece of software I ever used so far.
Wordpress is very well evolved from very poor and difficult application and I am really impressed with its current version. Developers there are doing the fantastic job and I love all those free themes and plugins.
Yop!, I’m a webmaster in Paris. Just wanted to let you know I thought your blog was cool. Thanks for updating it!
What exactly is different? I don’t really see anything special!
