WordPress 3.0 is Released: New Menus, Theme Options, Better Help

by Aaron on June 17, 2010

WordPress 3.0 is the newest release of my favorite blogging software. The new release includes an all-new easy-to-use menu system, more options for theme customization, a lighter admin interface with more contextual help, and more. You can download it directly or upgrade your existing install.

I’m sure I’ll write more in depth about specific elements of the new features, but in the meantime you can take a quick video tour of WordPress 3.0 (hit the icon in the lower right to embiggen the video):


Are you diving into WordPress 3? Are you going to wait a bit before upgrading your sites?

    I usually wait a bit. Lately most companies release plugins and software before letting the beta testing go through its ringers. I made the mistake of jumping the gun on WordPress once before and I won't do it again.

    WordPress keeps getting better and better. But I wish they would slow down. I'm tired of constantly updating.
    The newsworthy aspect of the release is the merger of WordPress and WordPress MU (multi-user), a fork of WordPress that allows multiple blogs to operate from a single installation. These two features are fully merged in WordPress 3.0, Thanks for post..
