Upgraded WordPress to version 2.6

If you noticed the site behaving strangely earlier this morning, it’s because I just upgraded our WordPress installation to version 2.6! If you’re wondering, “Hey, what’s new with the latest version of WordPress,” I’ve got you covered. If you want to go ahead and download WordPress, feel free to do so. I’ll wait.

I’m not going to go into ever little detail about what version 2.6 brings to the table. There’s already an official WordPress post (linked) that’s got that covered. I will, however, list my favorite additions as well as offer the nice little video the WordPress team made.

Ok, here’s my favorite additions:

• Revision tracking – Now Bo will know when I jump in and add the forgotten <!–more–> tag to his posts.
• Word Count – No more pasting into MS Word just to find out how many words I’ve written.
• Image Captions – Something I’ve wanted to do, but never felt like writing the CSS for.
• Increased Plugin Management – All of your plugins are separated into Activated, Recently Deactivated, and Deactivated groupings.
• Press This – Honestly, I haven’t had time to try this out for myself… but it looks really cool.

The video below covers most of these new features so you can see them in action!
