WordPress 2.6 Has Been Released!

July 15, 2008 · Filed Under Blogging Nicely 

Much anticipated and nearly a month early, WordPress 2.6 is now in official release.  Some of the great new features are:

  • “Wiki-like” tracking of edits
  • Press This! Posting from anywhere on the web!
  • Google Gears to speed up your action in the dashboard!
  • And my favorite - Tweak your theme before taking it live! Woohoo for Theme previews!

Here is a video tour of the new WordPress version 2.6!

    We are big supporters of WordPress, however, even though this new version is released and there are a lot of never features, I am warning people of possible bugs and plugin incompatibilities.

    If you check out the forums, you will find that a lot of users are having problems with the new version. So if you have a large site with a lot of added features, it might be good to wait until things settle down. Who knows, there might be a 2.6.1 in the near future.
