What is New About WordPress 3.0?
WordPress is a very popular script that is used to make blog or websites on the internet. This system was recently upgraded to version 3.0. Find out what new features you have to look forward to in this huge upgrade to this system.
First of all, there is a new default template. The old one wasn’t very exciting at all and was used in many versions of WordPress for a number of years. The new template is called Twenty Ten. It’s a simple template that looks nice and takes advantage of the newest features in the system. It’s good enough that you can use this as your blog’s theme and still have it look nice.
There are sections that you can upload your own header and background images for this theme as well as other themes that use this same functionality. You can be using the default theme and still make it look like your own.
There is a system to customize menus. This way you can have multiple menus for your site so that every page on the site can have different menus giving you some more flexibility.
There are customized types of post that you can make for your site. You are no longer locked into just posts or pages. You can make your own new type of post for you site. This makes WordPress work like other more complex content management systems.
There is a shortlink feature that helps you shorten your URLs. This is useful when you want to share your content on services like Twitter.
You get a different administration panel with WordPress 3.0. It’s a bit easier on the eyes and more organized.
There is improved security with this new version. It’s best to always have the most up to date version of WordPress to prevent it from being hacked.
