Blog24

I have yet to update and test the latest incarnation of WordPress but there are some features that look promising.

Post Revisions allow WordPress users to track changes to posts with ease and restore earlier versions. (Mac users — we’ve got Time Machine for WordPress!)

The Press This! bookmarklet has been improved to make blogging about things you’ve read or seen on the web much easier and faster.

In WP2.5 uploading images to your blog was improved immensely. Once uploaded a caption could be added for each image. Unfortunately these captions would not be shown in your posts without editing the theme template files. However, with 2.6 installed your Captions will be added under your images automatically.

Still on the subject of images, it is now possible to change the order of Gallery images using ‘drag and drop’. Sweet!

Watch the following introduction of WordPress 2.6 for further information:

I do like the addition of the live Word Count. Useful for making sure that a post is not getting too prolix.

There will doubtlessly be many subtle updates and features to discover once installed. So I’m off to download and install WP 2.6 right now.
