WordPress Admin Changes

Tomorrow, we will be upgrading the UMW WordPress installation from WordPress 3.6 to WordPress 3.8. While the way you accomplish your normal tasks will remain unchanged, the appearance of the administrative area will change fairly significantly. Everything you use on a regular basis can still be found in the same locations, it might just look a little different than it does right now.

Following are a few screen shots showing a comparison of the current interface with the new interface that will be in place tomorrow.
