WordPress.com finally updates to 2.5 — A review

A picture [of my cat] is worth a thousand words.

She\'s a jungle-catI’ve been waiting for WordPress.com to update the administration panel so that I can have galleries.  That is the main feature that I’ve been waiting for.  Now it’s here, I can finally upload pictures of my cat (and my wife :-) )  

This will also allow simpler embedding of video, audio, et al.  I’m glad it’s finally live.

EDIT: There seem to be a few kinks still with this feature — instead of having thumbnails, the site was loading the full images. This is obviously an issue. Until then, you get a thumbnail of my cat in the grass.

Admin Drop Down Menu plugin does not break WordPress 2.5 Image Uploader [updated]

The plugin has been updated. The multitudes may celebrate fewer clicks!

As sad as it is to admit (since the plugin has saved me thousands of clicks), Admin Drop Down Menu by Ozh breaks the WordPress image uploader. If you’ve tried everything WordPress tells you to do in order to fix that Image Gallery feature and multiple image upload capability in WordPress 2.5, and disable this plugin.
