I put another new user through the media scenarios. This time I pushed her through the regular “add post” flow instead of using QuickPress. You can download the video here.

I began implementing the icons that @empireoflight created, and wanted to give ya’ll a preview: For contrast, here’s what the welcome screen looks…

This morning I tested the Color picker in betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur…
