Introducing WordPress 3.0

Four. Yes four. Totally four. Awesome four. Aaaaargh! yes. Bloggers and publishers alike will find a bunch of new features to make their lives even easier. For an extra touch of ease and security, it's now possible to set your admin username to whatever you like during installation. The first thing you'll notice when you login is a new life to look. So you'll have even fewer distractions from what matters most. Your content. WordPress 3.0 introduces the new grand unified updater in your Dashboard section. Now you can update your WordPress installation, your plugins, and your themes, all in one place. And if you forget to deactivate those plugins first, don't worry. WordPress will put your site in maintenance mode during the updates to make sure nothing goes wrong. If you ever get stuck, you'll find that the help tabs now give you the information you need, right where you need it most, on every screen. After five years of dedicated service, Kubrik is being retired as the default theme. And Twenty Ten is taking its place. Designed specifically to take advantage of the features in WordPress 3.0 Twenty Ten is a beautiful, flexible theme with fantastic typography to put your content stage centered. It supports all the new features in 3.0, including the custom menus backgrounds, and headers, and ever comes bundled with some georgeous images. Change the background color, or upload an image. Have it tiled, or leave it centered, you choose.
