I realize that the WYSIWYG can be turned off, and as I am sure you are aware, when developing a site for someone else it is nice to have the plugins work with editor on - so they do not have to think about it. Since 2.01 was released there have been a lot less of these issues. I am in the middle of teaching a course during which 20 people have now been introduced to and are running their own sites on WordPress 2.0 - I am confident they will be pleased with the results!! Rachel C – you are most welcome!

Hope that helps. Awesome :)

How have things gone for me with WP2.0? Honestly they have gone pretty good. I have now update 1 site each time the new release client came out. Another site I have updated from 1.5.2. I am nearly ready to tackle another few sites currently on 1.5.2 as well. Why? First, the spam stopping machine that comes packaged with 2.0, second, the easier uploading function and third, the WYSIWYG for those who are not familiar and do not want to mess with the code. Regarding trackbacks and pings... Have not noticed anything but success here. No issues on the upgrades I have done. The permalinks seem to working out just fine. I have run into a couple of issues - pluggins that don't work with 2.0 - and extra code being dished out by the new wysiwyg editor. The plugins thing will resolve itself as the creators of the plugins I want are or have created updates. The editor problem is really a problem though and it shows up when you try to do a good bit of formatting with it. This issue showed up on a site updated from 1.5.2 and also on a site which was originally installed as a RC3 site. Personally I do not create my posts with the WYSIWYG. I want the clean code view... Which seems to be a common desire. I am not sure how easy it is to fix the issues... But do hope they are resolved. Personally I am excited about the upgrade overall - it promises good things and more to come :-) Thanks for your contribution to the Blog World - I enjoy it muchly. Tim And thank you for the comment!

Was wondering what your personal experiences have been since upgrading to WordPress 2.0? There have been a large amount of bad buzz and complaints flying around the blogosphere, and reports of problems with trackbacks, permalinks, etc. Have you experienced any bugginess or has it been smooth sailing for you? Also, did you do an upgrade or a new install? Thanks in advance -- I'm very eager to hear from WordPress 2.0 users about their experiences, positive and/or negative. Thanks for the link!
