With the release of WordPress 2.5, I quickly downloaded it and updated my blog. I must say I put a lot of faith in it, as I didn’t backup my database or files, ran the upgrade and it all worked, nothing was broken. However if you decide to upgrade, don’t take my word for it, because something may break.
The administration interface is a whole lot cleaner, everything seems just perfect 
For the people that haven’t updated yet, I highly recommend downloading WordPress 2.5.
Well it seems Wordpress 2.5 has been delayed again, it’s initial release was for March 10, then pushed back until March 17, then March 21. So far according to the Wordpress trac it’s a day old so far. There is still currently 256 active tickets, which I hope will get fixed up soon.
It’s good that they are holding off until it is bug free, it will probably be one of the best releases to date. I’ve looked at the sneek peeks of Wordpress 2.5, and it looks great. I haven’t personally tried it, prefer to wait for a final incase it causes havoc with Windows Live Writer 
Well, it seems Wordpress 2.5 will be released on my birthday (thats right, today), but it will be late tonight as it’s not 17th March in the states just yet. It seems quite strange, I haven’t seen any Beta or RC releases of WP 2.5, I just hope all of the plugins are compatible with this new release.
Well, I downloaded the final version of Windows Live Writer to see how it performs with Wordpress. So far it’s working, but will have to see how this post turns out first. I hate the whole "online installer" stuff, so found the "source" msi installer for a standalone installer (offline).
So for the people that want just the standalone installer, you need to download the WLinstaller.exe and after it installs WLW it creates a temporary .msi file in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources\Install_{9176251A-4CC1-4DDB-B343-B487195EB397}.msi".
You will mostly need to enable hidden folders, as the directory is hidden, but after that copy the .msi to a folder, and there you have it, a standalone installer
