A new Wordpress yet again!

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

After a major release just a few days back in the form of Wordpress 2.1.3, the Wordpress developers are at it yet again and have just released the brand new version of Wordpress with another major round of upgrades… ladies and gentlemen… please welcome…

Wordpress 2.2

Wow… and wow, yet again! :-)

Do check out the goodies with the new Wordpress 2.2:

  • Now you have the WordPress Widgets embedded in the Wordpress 2.2 distribution, and has apparently been significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
  • Wordpress 2.2 provides full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
  • Wordpress 2.2 also unveils a new Blogger importer that will enable users to handle imports from the latest version of Google’s Blogger. All one needs to do is to provide the login details of their Google Account and sip… zap… zoom… your posts and comments at your Blogger blog appear in your Wordpress Blog!
  • I swear that I have always been bugged by not only the number of SPAM comments I receive on my blogs but also having to edit/delete them and then click on the next page and then the next page and so on… the new Wordpress 2.2 relieves one of such trouble with featuring infinite comment stream, meaning that when I got to my Edit Comments page and delete or spam a comment, I will always have 20 items on the page as the page will update itself with the next record in line while it deletes/spam the comment chosen by me… nifty, eh… :-) Thanks to AJAX… :-D
  • Wordpres 2.2 will also prevent people from breaking up their blog by preventing them from activating a plugin or editing a file that might do so.
  • And lots more…

Whoa… some load of features… :-D

The guys at Wordpress never do let up, do they? :-)

And here I am… stuck with one of the oldest versions of Wordpress on this blog as I am not too confident about upgrading… it being so old a version… All the other of my blogs are updated to Wordpress 2.1.3 but somehow, this one… I still have to get around to doing it… maybe now…

Let’s see… :-)
