WordPress has launched “WordPress TV” a source of video tutorials and support. The developers expect that this new tool will be more than just another source of support for WordPress.

“On WordPress.tv, you’ll find tutorials for both WordPress self-installs and WordPress.com to help you get blogging fast and hassle-free. We’ve kicked things off with the basics — now you can shape what comes next. Just drop us a line and let us know what you’d like to see added. ” – extracted from wordpress.org blog

WordPress 2.7 Released

Posted by on December 12, 2008 No comments

Worpress LogoWordPress 2.7 “Coltrane” has been released with a complete new interface, new features. Over 150 people have contributed code directly to this new release.  Some of the new features are the new dashboard that you can arrange with drag and drop , QuickPress, comment threading, paging, and the ability to reply to comments from your dashboard, the ability to install any plugin directly from WordPress.org with a single click, and sticky posts.

ITechLog.com is now using WP 2.7, it’s easy and very fast to use. The menu system has been redesigned and has been moved to the left hand side. It does have a Mac(ish) feel to it, but well no one is perfect… ;) The quick edit function is a great improvement, I had a plugin that did that before but to have it a built in out of the “zip” box is a great plus.  Upgrading form the previous 2.6… was painless and my template works with no problems. Well done WordPress, another great release!
