Hi,

I just started poking around on version 2.5 RC1. Mike


Menus:
How often do most people really use the Design menu? Why isn't it under Settings?

And "Comments" should be under "Manage." That would make the "Edit Comments" page make sense, since the first line of the page is "Manage Comments."

Write Post:
Under Safari 3.04, OS X 10.4.11, text entered into the post area looks like there is a full line between the line of text I enter and the button row (bold, italics, etc...) Can that white space be reduced a bit? Or would that be a custom style I'd need to tweak?

Interface:
The gray bar at the very top of the browser window (Dashboard, Howdy...) is not consistent. If you are going to use a tab when I'm on the DashBoard, there should be a tab on it for doing "stuff" to the blog. For example, I'm on the "Write Post" page, but there aren't any tabs on the top row.

Bug?:
Before a user can upload files with a new post, make sure that the permissions are ok. I know you want things to be simple, but it's more annoying to get an error after I try to upload something than being simple.

Related note: I tried to upload two MP3 files. The first one failed due to a permissions problem, but the second one tried to upload as well. Why bother? It won't work.

Bug? (Feature Request?):
I imported one of my RSS feeds so I'd have data to play with. Could the RSS feed importer automatically create categories from the feed? What I ended up with is 10 posts with no category, although two posts did have a comma listed. I assume the WP25 somehow "knows" the post was in two categories, but now it doesn't. But it "knows" to put a comma on the post?

Actually, it appears that WP25 tried to create my categories. On my Manage Categories page, there are now thirteen empty categories. Name and Description are blank, number of posts in each one is "1." I imported my main feed from http://feeds.planetmike.com/planetmikedotcom

Whoops: Posting Bug! (I think)
Write Post: I added a new post, Safari 3.04, OS X 10.4.11. I added two MP3 files, they uploaded fine, added a new category, hit Publish. Nothing. Tried tweaking the "status" hit save and publish, tried tweaking the "publish immediately" time. I ended up having to go to the Manage tab, hit the "Drafts" submenu, then I could hit the Publish button. The post did appear after that. My guess would be the ajax/javascript stuff is not working quite right in Safari.


Feature Request:
I recently blogged about WP's Daylight Saving Time handling. http://www.planetmike.com/2008/03/11/wordpress-timezone-handling-is-ridiculous/. Will WP automagically change the clock settings now without the need for a plugin?


Thanks, I hope this is helpful. Mike
