Wordpress 2.3 Launches
Monday, September 24th, 2007 at 12:00 am
The hype surrounding Wordpress version 2.3 launching today (September 24th 2007) did not quite reach Snakes on a Plane level, but Wordpress fanboys and fangirls the world over are quite excited. The wildly popular Wordpress is described as a “personal publishing platform”. This is a fancy way of saying cool blogging software.
There are promises of many great improvements, but as far as I can tell, there are two main features to look forward to in WP 2.3:
- Tags
The inclusion of these descriptive tidbits of info will now be supported within the Wordpress platform without the use of a third party plugin. I am looking forward to implementing this feature on Blogsolid straight away. Wordpress recomends this article to help you update your theme for tag inclusion. - Plugin Update System
According to Matthew Mullenweg (original creator of Wordpress), checking for the latest updates for your plugins will now be dealt with ”magically behing the scenes”.
Has the WP development team been kind enough to patch some of the holes in the current WYSIWYG editor? We can only hope…
Do you know any secrets about Wordpress 2.3? Please do share!

These are nice additions to have to the default Wordpress setup. But I concur that it would be great if they can get rid of those ANNOYING bugs in the editor.

I installed the new version of Wordpress on my blog yesterday and am very happy with the new version. I had some problems with various plugins I use and had to disable them which was a bit of a shame. The tagging system looks quite cool though, the backend seems quite a bit faster due to some nice new javascript apparently, and I am pleased to let you know the WYSIWYG is much improved. It has more options avaliable, and looks like it allows for seemless copying and pasting from Microsoft Word, about time!

Hi Mark
Thanks for the report! Sounds like good news, except for the plugin thing… Hope that gets sorted out.
I must admit, I have not taken the plunge yet.

No worries. I usually wait a few weeks after a release to install it, in that way they iron out the teething issues before they effect my blog! This time I was just to eager to try it out straight away. No regrets though. It’s just forcing me to learn how to do things myself instead of relying on plugins.
