So, if you have a WordPress blog and pay any attention at all to the WordPress development blog, you’ll realize that the WordPress guys and gals are ready to launch a new version–again.
I’m a huge WordPress acolyte. In my membership training site, it’s all I recommend. I mean, I LOVE WordPress.
But what happens? Everyone is totally confused again. Ah… well, grist for my training mill. I guess it’s a good thing.
What will some of the changes be?
First, an entirely new Dashboard. Looks pretty hot. You’ll be able to see stats much easier, and comments and such. Looks more Web 2.0-ish. WordPress is going more social. That’s the bottom line.
You’ll be able to put up a photo gallery, have sub-categories, and the organization will be simplified. You can read all about it:

Or, duh… Just go to your dashboard, and click the link.
WordPress says it changed the dashboard for the simple reason that we just don’t pay attention to it. Well… I do.
Anyway, I’m excited. I think this new creation will be pretty cool. However, I’ll wait to try it, since it’s still in beta. I don’t have the patience for too many quirks, nor the time. But… If you’re a developer or total blog geek, you can download the beta version at the link above.
You go, WordPress, but I’ll wait until it’s stable, thanks.
