RE: [http://wordpress.com/blog/2008/04/04/new-dashboard/]
Well, after checking out the ‘New Dashboard Design’ of WordPress.com, I found some additions that worked well for me. The first overhaul was the long awaited Manage>Tags section where I’ve reduced tags from 453 to 225 (which is one of my personally identifiable codes) or from 23 pages to the current 12 pages (of 20 WordPress items per page).
I found lots of blank tags in the beginning of the page, misspellings throughout and other redundant or useless tags that I’ve deleted and modified some of which were consolidated, logically, for my purpose, of course. I found that there was a spell checker for adding these tags into my old posts.
I suppose my two entries under the <en.forums.wordpress.com> regarding categories and tags were taken into consideration due to some of my tags should not have been included in the first place. Unfortunately, I would have to tinker with an SQL program (I sort of know from one of my former jobs) under the self-hosted websites found under WordPress.org to do some mass updates, like categories and word replacements.
I found other but minor annoyances. For examples, after modifying the tags and saving some of my posts, I would navigate away from this section and find the Windows Internet Explorer error message below:
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
The changes you made will be lost if you navigate away from this page.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.
[OK] [Cancel]
Currently, there is only a ‘Filter’ button for the ‘View all categories’ and I would like filters for each column under the Manage>Posts section (i.e. Author, Tags and Status). This helps to find those posts without the ‘tags’ instead of having to click ‘Next’ for each of my 83 pages (of 15 items per pages).
Furthermore, the ‘Page order’ under Managed>Published section (i.e. Title) is sorted alphabetically incorrectly and is not sorted by ‘Page order’ prior to this ‘New Dashboard Design’ today. I sent my general feedback under the ‘Support’ section to my new dashboard but had a hard time figuring out which categories to select for a general comment or feedback in the form of a question.
