New Version of Wordpress (2.6) Now Available

If you are considering starting up a blog, I would highly recommend that you use Wordpress. It comes with everything you need to start a blog and is expandable with the options of adding widgets and plugins. I started using Blogger 5 years ago and just moved to Wordpress in December 2007. Since then my traffic has increased as was able to apply more SEO (search engine optimization) techniques to my Wordpress blog than Blogger.

A new version of Wordpress has just been released today. So whether you have an existing blog or commencing one, make sure you update/grab this version from the Wordpress Website.

The main enhancements of Wordpress 2.6 are:

  1. Ability to use previous versions of draft posts/pages
  2. Improved “Press This” button functionality: allows you blog on other web pages quickly and incorporate their images and text.
  3. Inclusion of image captions
  4. Preview themes before your audience does
  5. Gears functionality: caches image and CSS files on your PC for faster performance when writing

Below is a video of the changes in Wordpress 2.6:

Wordpress is a great blogging foundation. We’ll write more on growing this blog and optimizing it for search engines in the upcoming posts.
