I just created my account on Wordpress.com to be able to use Aksimet. It was the usual signup form (with nice big buttons), then a confirmation mail, and then…
My password shown in clear text, big font, sent over unencrypted http protocol! Even more, a minute later I got my clear-text password sent to me via mail. Hello, it’s 2008, and I think at least some information security should be out there in the world. But hey, who cares…
I have just upgraded my blog engine to Wordpress 2.5 Yep, I know it’s a bit early, but all the new features look promising, I’ve already seen some positive reviews of it, and - best of all - the new admin panel interface is very neat.

And this is how it looked like in the old, 2.4 interface:
The new panel is more clear, colours are less intrusive, it’s much more web2.0-ish. Now we just need rounded corners and “make friend” button ;)
I found just one issue - the new multi-file picutre upload panel doesn’t work in Opera. But I’m getting used to new Javascript features not working in Opera…
