The New WordPress v3.6

 

Version 3.6

Hello, I hope this post finds you well.
As a WordPress fan I am salivating over the release of the new WordPress v3.6! It is going to be the best version yet and they have made adjustments that are both user-friendly and feature-rich. It's not that they made a ton of changes but the few they have made are sure to be a hit. I am so exited!

The new interface is noticeable right away. Better contrast, fonts and arrangement make it easier to read and navigate. A new "ribbon" available at the top of the Post editor makes it easy to select a "post-type" which is becoming a standard feature in new versions of WordPress. There is a new emphasis on expanding the ability to publish posts within a particular and suitable format. With a specific "post-type" WordPress will automatically format the new post for the type of post you are creating.

For example, if you want to embed a video, the new "ribbon" has a selection for that. When selected, WordPress opens an embed box right above your post for you to embed the video code. This is validation that WordPress and the web in general is moving ahead towards a more HTML5 way of delivering content (especially media). Obligatory and proprietary plugins and add-ons like Flash are done with the new open-source delivery system in place now. Funny I should mention that because I just updated my Flash plugin twice (4-times in a month or so) and it has been crashing repeatedly!!
