WordPress 3.0, which feels like it’s been a long time in the making (though it’s only been about 6 months) is finally out! There are lots of new features in 3.0, including:
- WordPress and WordPress MU have merged, allowing the management of multiple sites (called Multisite) from one WordPress installation.
- New default theme “Twenty Ten” takes full advantage of the current features of WordPress.
- New custom menu management feature, allows creation of custom menus combining posts, pages, categories, tags, and links for use in theme menus or widgets.
- Custom header and background APIs.
- Contextual help text accessed under the Help tab of every screen in the WordPress administration.
- Ability to set the admin username and password during installation.
- Bulk updating of themes with an automatic maintenance mode during the process.
- Support for shortlinks.
- Improved Custom post types and custom taxonomies including hierarchical (category-style) support. (Try the Custom Post Type UI or GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools plugins to see the possibilities.)
- A lighter admin color scheme to increase accessibility and put the focus more squarely on your content.
You can go to this page to read the whole long list of all the new additions to 3.0 or you can just watch this video for the highlights:
You should see the upgrade link appear in your WP admin soon or you can download it here if you want to install manually. As always, if you’re a Swank Web Hosting client and you need help with your upgrade, please contact us!

Thanks for your publiction. Another point is that being photographer consists of not only difficulties in catching award-winning photographs but hardships in acquiring the best digicam suited to your requirements and most especially hardships in maintaining the caliber of your camera. This really is very correct and clear for those photographers that are into capturing the actual nature’s interesting scenes — the mountains, the actual forests, the wild or even the seas. Going to these amazing places definitely requires a photographic camera that can live up to the wild’s severe surroundings.
