I’ve talked a lot about new features on WordPress 2.6 Beta 1 and RC 1. If you missed my post, simply watch this official video on the release to find out what’s new.
If you blog using Google Blogger, you may want to see what WordPress 2.6 can do. Who knows if you are thinking to migrate your platform across *ahem*

Very useful and informative Mike! I haven’t get time to explore all the new features of the latest wordpress platform but you found great new ones
I just love the ability to easily switch from flash to conventional uploading feature, is it new too? lol!
Yeah it’s new too, but I love the Flash upload, so I won’t change to the conventional ones
I can’t wait to see what they’re up to in WordPress 2.7!
Upgrades are time consuming. But I feel the need to upgrade every time wordpress does. Then, plugins stop working. The added benefits don’t outweigh the hassles. I wish they’d upgrade less.
While upgrades do add new features, most upgrades also address critical security issues. It’s suggested to upgrade ASAP when a new release comes out to prevent your website from being exploited / hacked.
There’s even an automatic upgrade plugin if you don’t feel comfortable upgrading manually: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/
dews last blog post..Working on themes
I wrote a post about that plug-in here, if you are interested.
As always, you don’t have to upgrade if you don’t want to, but why?
Now me too upgraded my wordpress to 2.6 , but manually.
the pluginn of Wordpress auto upgrade comes into picture after i upgraded.
i installed that pluginn in my wordpress recently, looks great.
BTW one of wordpress’s new and best feature is that pluginn area, they divided the Inactive and Active pluginns !
Chetan Goles last blog post..Airtel servers are down !! Enjoy free calling and SMS.
Yeah it’s great, isn’t it. Just wish they have an auto-update option to the plug-ins too so we don’t have to click them manually to upgrade
i have to say , all these updates is really really annoying .
i’m suposed to backup everything each week and update all the plugins EACH WEEK
