If you dropped by about 30 mins ago, you really catch me at a bad time, I am upgrading my WordPress to WordPress 2.2 ‘Getz’.

Getz is named in honor of tenor saxophonist Stan Getz.

Briefly in WordPress 2.2 you can expect:

1. Better WordPress Widgets Control. It is much easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. Now you dun need a widget plugin just for widgets, everything is build onto the core codes now.
2. Full Atom Support. Now the Atom feeds uses the 1.0 standard Atom spec and include is also an implementation of the Atom Publishing API.
3. New Blogger Importer. Now it is easy to move your blog from the latest Google Blogger’s blogging tool to WordPress, everything get moved over, comments & posts included.
4. Infinite Comment Stream. You now will always have 20 items on your Edit Comments page when you are deleting all those spam comments. WordPress will load in another set for you in the background.

As for me what I really like about this new WordPress Getz, is that there is No Preview section in the Edit Post page. Now only when I want to see a preview of my post, then I clicked on the preview link.

Any benefits for not showing the preview page? Definitely, especially if you are running Google Adsense on your single page, you wont’ registered unnecessary impression. Expect to see an improvement in your Page CTR and Page eCPM.

Added 10 mins later: The time taken to load the Edit Page is also much, much faster now.
