WordPress 2.6… Wow!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Whoa. Really, really cool stuff going on over at WordPress.org. They’ve released WordPress 2.6 with some totally sweet options.
Here’s a quick rundown:
- Preview past post revisions.
WP 2.6 lets you see what you’ve done before and even compare revisions to see which is best very easily. - New Press This! button allows you to post from wherever you are online
Snatch snippets of other blog posts, pictures, and get them onto your blog. (With proper crediting, of course.) - See your theme before you actually change it.
A new preview window allows you to see what a theme will look like with your content before you hit the change button. - Get your word count!
This is totally something I can use. Find out how many words are in each post you make. - Give your pictures captions
Let people know what your picture is about.
And there are more features that are new, like bulk dealing with plugins and such. Really, really sweet. Check it all out here: http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/wordpress-26-tyner/
I love WordPress! Don’t you?
Fantastico doesn’t have it yet, though, and I’m lazy. I’ll wait. That way, the bugs might be worked out of the new software before I use it. 
Love that WordPress.

Hey, I gotta hand it to you, you sure have a grasp on the subject!
I like wordpress too, especially the simplicity of it, like adding youtube brackets
or adding a slide show.
Or the little preview window that pops up for links to other sites!
I never had all the administrational rights to my blog, due to my brother never handing it all to me,
so I was never fully able to
do whatever I pleased with it, like for example adding a map of users currently viewing my webpage,
or putting google adsense.
Anyways, these have been interesting posts to read.

I really appreciate your update on Word Press. I am just now joining the Word Press revolution, and am slowly learning the ropes. I did try out the theme preview option, which was very helpful as it takes me an unbelievable amount of time to finally settle on the theme I like best. Thanks again for the update!
