I’ve just created some buttons for the WBA site (which I need to fix because they are too dark) and began the uploading process. First off, you have to set the permissions of your WP-Content file to 777. Otherwise WordPress can’t create the upload directory.

Now this is where things get interesting. The new version doesn’t have a thumbnail option for uploading images like 1.5 and the earlier versions did. Instead, it creates a thumbnail automatically.

That’s cool. It’s one less button I have to press. But, here’s the thing I don’t like–the way the image files are stored by year, and then month. I prefer the old-fashioned alphabetical list fashion.

If I need to delete files, I’ll have to wade through a bunch of folders in my CPanel to get to them. Perhaps the next version would allow us to delete unwanted image files directly from the interface. That feature is officially on my WP wish list, as of today.
