About This Video
This video is
30 minutes of me talking about the WordPress dashboard and why it should be discarded immediately.
I have a face for radio, and a voice for TV; I apologize for that.
I also apologize for its length; I'll try and make the next one considerably shorter.

FWIW Still no download tab, thanks for the link though, I use that.

It was just something I had to go through to get where I was going. I'm curious to hear about how things are going on Habari.

Heilemann
1 year ago 0 + -Well, it isn't really fair to WP25, seeing as its still in alpha (or beta); but while it might be more agile now, it's just as, if not more, confusing. The header is a link-fest, the top of the page gives a damn about alignment and if the dashboard is customizable, I'll be damned if I can figure out how to customize it. And the boxes bordering the right side of the page don't have a border to that side.
I'm not impressed as it is. But as I said, it's alpha (or beta, I don't know).
