While many of us were barbecuing and blowing things up, the WordPress folks were putting the finishing touches on WordPress 3.2. On July 4, the “faster and lighter,” WordPress 3.2 was released with some features well worth checking out.
If you’re not familiar with WordPress, it’s a GPL’ed project that has become one of the most popular personal publishing and CMS platforms on the Web. If you want to run a blog or many types of Web sites, it’s a go-to tool for rapid deployment and easy management. WordPress 3.2 follows WordPress 3.1 by only four months, a result of the project working on faster development cycles with fewer features per cycle. Seems to be a lot of that going around, and that’s a good thing.
The release, codenamed “Gershwin” after composer and pianist George Gershwin, is notable for admin feature updates, a new theme, and more. By the way — if you’re not up on the music of Gershwin, do yourself a favor and check him out while you’re reading.
