Google Ads are still there. So 6 other users have nothing to do with this. Thanks to Chris who made the demo available, anyway.

One more comment: JUST IN CASE the ads are not from Chris, but one of the 6 other users who are working on the site right now: SHAME ON YOU! Maybe the 10 min refresh will clear things up…

Ok, the admin sucks, according to a lot of people here. And yes, it was not that nice, really…

But lets talk about the REAL issue here! The most important thing the demo site contains:

Chris has Google AdSense on the ADMIN PAGES. These are password protected pages. This is against Google’s TOS, and he COULD be banned from AdSense, and forfeit all his earnings because of this.

Someone please warn him to remove the ads that are scattered all over the place within the Admin.

Otherwise, thanks for the oh-so-nice (and profitable!) demo site! :-/

For what it’s worth (for Windows users)…

Another way that I’ve been using as a local WordPress sandbox is XAMPP for Windows (the full version, not the lite). It’s very easy to set up and secure. For me, rather than SVN, I download the nightly builds and update the sandbox that way. Takes less than a minute of copy/paste and I’m good to go. I also use this to work up themes and test out changes to my site locally before making them online.

Just another way of doing it.

Joseph, if you read the whole long list of comments, you’ll see it was taken down due to abuse by spammers. There’s a screenshot in comment #81, and as Michael goes on to mention to those who follow, there’s always the possibility of using SVN to download the latest and set it up for yourself.

Oh, I’d never seen that “Shuttle” design before - I like it! That’s clean and neat, there. Don’t like the screencap of the new 2.5 (2.4-bleeding) at all. If I wanted Blogger as my backend, I’d be *using* Blogger as my backend, and there’s more than one reason I’m using a crossposter for LiveJournal, rather than using their rich-text editor. Who do we have to pester to get “Shuttle” moving? (before you say it, yes, I know NASA is the obvious smart-aleck answer)

I just hate spammers. So much waste of time, and what kill-joys they are.

Would be great to see at least some frame grabs?

OK, for those of you who can’t seem to understand what a good Admin UI *should* look like, this is it:
http://www.brokenkode.com/shuttle

The Shuttle project needs to be resurrected and implemented, and until it is, I will be sticking with a pre-2.5 build of WordPress for my site or else desperately looking for a 2.5-compatible admin theme plugin.

As for those who *like* the new admin interface, I hope that you’re being sarcastic and not just ignorant.

The fact that the link is not working may be a nuisance but then again it is a trivial matter to install the SVN so you can see for yourself.

Is there no way to control the link to the demo site? I thought there were plenty of plugins to stop abuse?
