WordPress 2.7: Finally, a downside to the upgrade
Tried to install the WordPress Lifestream plugin, but I got an error message. Since the upgrade to WordPress 2.7, I’ve found myself faced with a variety of memory errors such as this one with a number of plugins, and even when publishing:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /*/*/*/*/*/wp-content/plugins/lifestream/lib/simplepie.inc on line 4152″

The New Wordpress 2.7 Dashboard
I love Wordpress. I’ve been using if for various work related projects for the past 2 years, and I’ve always been especially impressed with the Dashboard.
It’s so bright and clean and easy to use, but what has always struck me the most is its extensibility and stability. I’ve always been amazed at how it’s so full of functionality and yet easily incorporates additional components from plugins with the greatest of ease. I’ve always attributed this to the fact that the horizontal nav bar allows for a greater number of options to be displayed that can follow on to the line below.
From the screenshots, it would seem that WP 2.7’s dash now makes use of a vertical nav bar using an accordion style list. I love accordions. They’re great for organising large amounts of information, so properly applied an accordion could mean access to all sorts of sub menus in one neat interface.
So now that Wordpress has an accordion interface, my 2 loves have come together to form what may be one super package. I can’t wait to see it.
Oh, and there’s a lovely stats graph as well. I love graphs even more than accordions.
