WordPress 2.9 is getting closer

Friday, December 4th, 2009 at 9:17 am

I have been just a bit busy with The Old Bald Guy’s Blog Tour and more normal blogging so have been a few days behind on my beta blog. This morning I finally got around to it and upgraded to the 2nd beta version. As the betas roll out you can be sure that the final release is not far away.

The biggest changes are in dealing with images. You can do much more with your images. It creates thumbnails automatically. You can play with the image by cropping it, resizing it and even turning it.

And you can still add the appropriate tags and descriptions that you previously could.

So if you are using a lot of images on your blog this can be a great help.

Finally, while playing I found another new neat thing. Upgrade all your plugins at once.

No longer will you have to keep upgrading a plugin at a time.

So far I have not had any major problems with using this either so look for WordPress 2.9 to be arriving soon.
