I ♥ WordPress Updates

Another feature I enjoy about the WordPress platform is its easy updates. I just updated four different self-hosted WP sites that I maintain in an hour.

I also updated all of their plugins right from the admin dashboard. This is not something you can do in Drupal.

Don’t ask me which site I came across this on, because my web meandering has taken on many paths at this point and I’m a bit sleepy. Freshout, the original creators of the Flutter plugin for WordPress have planted a seed. Being an equally passionate Drupal and WordPress developer I find it encouraging to see the phrase: “Flutter is CCK for WordPress.” Allelujah!

I had to see what it was all about so I instantly downloaded the plugin and started looking for documentation. It is scarce! Thanks to Devin at WordPressTheming.com for providing a few video tutorials on implementing Flutter for a design portfolio.

In the end I think that Flutter is a robust solution for CMS enhancements to WordPress, but I’m hoping the WordPress community will come up with something better. Perhaps Matt Mullenweg will collab with Freshout?
