Its users can expect numerous additions to the blogging software that will greatly improve its functionality and performance. WordPress 3.0 is the result of six months of development by over 200 contributors.</p>
<p><span id="more-916"></span></p>
<p>So what&#8217;s changed with WordPress 3.0? For starters, they&#8217;ve created a new default theme, Twenty Ten. It proves to be much more robust and eye pleasing than the previous default theme, Kubrick.</p>
<p>In addition, the interface is lighter and has over 1,200 bugs fixes and enhancements. That&#8217;s only the beginning of the myriad new features. Creating a custom theme for WordPress is now easier than ever before thanks to new API integrations. Customized backgrounds, menus, headings, and more are now simpler to implement in new designs.</p>
<p>Another notable feature is the ability to perform bulk updates with the internal upgrading system. You can upgrade 15 plugins at once!</p>
<p>Probably the most significant change is the integration of WordPress MU (multi-user). WordPress 3.0 offers the multi-user system built directly into its structure. You can now run millions of blogs from one dashboard. Some of our <a href="http://www.blogconsulting.com/case-studies/">notable customers</a> are already taking advantage of this functionality.</p>
<p>You can learn more about new features and changes, including an exceptional video about the latest and greatest WordPress 3.0 by <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2010/06/thelonious/" target="_new">clicking here</a>.</p>
<p>We highly recommend you upgrade immediately or <a href="http://www.blogconsulting.com/contact-us/">contact us</a> for further assistance.</p>
