All of our shared hosting customers have now been successfully upgraded to WordPress 3.0, the new version of the very popular CMS/Blog system.
Some of the new features include:
WordPress 3.0 offers better micro-blogging (e.g. Twitter) integration with its new feature called Shortlink, which gives you the ability to generate branded short links (in a similar way as is.gd or bit.ly) for sharing your posts and pages in social media.
The exciting menu management feature is one of the most anticipated and demanded features of WordPress end-users.
This new feature will make it easy as pie for users to add new navigation menus in their WordPress-powered blogs and websites.
You will need no coding experience to modify your WordPress navigation: Just drag and drop menu items, and that’s it.
You can add outgoing links, categories and pages in one single menu just by using the navigation menu’s management feature. This is an insanely awesome and powerful feature to make WordPress site management all the more easier for WordPress users.
Each Author in WordPress has an ID, just like categories and pages.
In WordPress 3.0, you will be able to design individual author templates. This feature can come handy on multi-author blogs like, for example, the site you’re on: Six Revisions.
Let’s use an example to illustrate how this new functionality works: I am an author (Saad Bassi) here at Six Revisions while Jacob Gube is the Chief Editor.
Let’s pretend Jacob created a custom author page for me, called author-saad.php.
With the new functionality, WordPress will first look for author-saad.php before author.php in the template files to render my page differently from the default author.php design.
Another big update in WordPress 3.0 is the merging of WordPress MU – a fork of WordPress that lets the user create and manage hundreds of thousands of blogs with a single install of WordPress – and the plain-jane WordPress.
What this means in nutshell: You can create a number of websites using only one installation of WordPress.
Imagine that you’re a web developer who wants to build and host your client’s blogs and sites — you can run hundreds of client sites under one WordPress installation. If you have a scalable VPS, you can do all of this more reliably and affordably than ever before!
This feature is not enabled by default.
