We’re currently testing what we need to test before we upgrade WMBlogs to WPMU version 2.6.3.   The upgrade will change the dashboard on your blogs.  From talking to other Wordpress users who have upgraded, I think the typical blogger experience with the changes is to be a little put out at first but later coming to the conclusion that the new Dashboard is superior.

We’ll be giving everyone plenty of notice so hopefully no one will be shocked by the change.   We’ll be testing plugins so we’ll know which ones must be upgraded, fixed, replaced, etc.  We’re going to try our darnedest to make it as smooth as possible.  (We’re not doing this just for the heck of it, either; we have to keep current for security reasons.)

So consider this the first shot in a short battle to stay on the cusp of current blogging technology!
