Wordpress 3.0 available for download

The company Automattic has a new version of its online publishing platform Wordpress. Thelonious Named in homage to American jazz pianist Thelonious Sphere Monk, that version 3.0 was developed in six months by 218 contributors.

During installation of the platform on your host, it will be possible to choose a user name rather than the traditional "Admin". From a single installation, WordPress now supports the creation of many blogs for example a network of bloggers. Updates to themes, plugins and platform are now centralized and simplified example with the automatic deactivation of an extension when installing a new version. The developers have also implemented support services links or shortcuts like bit.ly is.gd. These can be automatically generated from the composition window.

Until now it was possible to publish a note, a page or a link. Now Wordpress simplifies the creation of custom publications (Custom Post Type). Directly from the administration interface of the other options are presented for example write a product description, a contact form, a list of people traditionally presented on the About page or newsletter. Note also more flexibility for menu navigation, in addition to the categories you can add links or keywords and create sub-menus.

The blogs created using Wordpress 3.0 dress a new theme default chart entitled Twenty Ten. This theme offers several options for customization such as adding a background image or changing the photo page header for each ticket issued.

As usual the update is strongly recommended Wordpress fame by making a perfect target to hackers. Below is the official presentation of Wordpress 3.0 in English.
