awesome article. Thanks for sharing with us. 
Thanks for the news. I just used the auto update for the first time. So far I really like 2.7 For the first time I feel like I really can manage my sites from the dashboard.
I also really appreciate how easily I can customize the dashboard by changing one image and the colors of the header and footer.
