WordPress 3.1 Release is like a Django riff
Founder Matt Mullenweg personally welcomed me to update (via email announcement) to the newest release of WordPress 3.1named "Reinhardt" in honor of gypsy born Jazz Guitarist.
After a little digging into "What's New", I have to say there are a number of much anticipated improvements. Wow, there are some very smart additions the newest release. But understandably so, since it has become the world's most popular open source Web application. Now I understand why the famous guitarist was its namesake."Fun" — because like Django's music,I'm going to a great time taking advantage the improvements. Here is a breakdown of "What's New" included in the latest release:
- Internal Linking — Interconnect existing content (FAST) through the post editor by selecting the "Link" icon. You'll notice a new addition of a search form and scrolling list of pages and posts.
- Administration Bar — In the front-end, you'll see the addition of an admin bar on the top of your site when you're logged in. This eliminates several steps in repetitive processes, including editing, adding new, comments and appearance changes like widgets and menus.
- Less Intimidating Writing Interface — Now by default, seldom-used panels are hidden to lesson the "overwhelmed" response of users new to WordPress administration interface. You can easily reveal what you want by selecting the "Screen Options" tab on top right of screen.
- Window Dressing for Admin - A minor addition of an Admin Color Scheme radio selector which includes a Blue and Gray version. Gray is my preferred choice. No significant reason enough, to change.
-
Post Format - similar to Tumblr Post Formats. This is where I got confused. A Post Type is explained well at WordPress Codex — Post Formats. It essential give you more control of how and where your posts are displayed, i.e. aside, gallery, link, image, quote, status, video, audio or chat. I defer to a quote in Otto's blog: Post types are NOUNS. Taxonomy terms are ADJECTIVES. Taxonomies themselves are related groups of adjectives. — IMPORTANT: you'll have to add support for Post Types by adding this into your functions.php file, adding addt'l format types in an array:
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery' ) ); and use new Post Format in template via:
// in your theme single.php, page.php or custom post type
if ( has_post_format( 'quote' )) { echo 'this is a quote.'; }There's also a really good article on "Mark on WordPress" titled: Post Formats vs. Custom Post Types.
More Like a CMS — This is what Matt writes, though I think it's not one specific enhancement that he is referring to, but the overall capabilities of more post control, advanced taxonomies, custom field queries and other existing functions. Which is making WordPress more like a Content Management System with each new release. Network Admin — Which benefits MultiSite or Network administrators. It's only available if you create a network of WordPress sites. List-type Admin Screens — "sortable columns for list-style screens and better pagination". Exporter and Importer Overhaul — for those of customers that would like to migrate their existing website to a better, more professional website redesign using WordPress. Would you like to import your Blogger, LiveJournal, Moveable Type, TypePad or WordPress hosted site to a self-hosted WordPress installation? No problem. With the improved Importer and Exporter (under Tools menu) you can transfer your site's content more easily. Custom Content Type Improvements - adding the already versatile post types, e.g. Post, Page, Attachment, Revisions and Nav Menu types. Using "Best Practices" naming of your custom post type allows a conflict-free schema to your new CMS. Check out what new code refinements have been added here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types Advanced Queries — that can grab multiple taxonomies and custom fields you've created for display on your templates.
This just touches the many reasons why you should upgrade to the newest WordPress 3.1 "Reinhardt" Release. If you want to know more about the benefits of transferring your company website to WordPress, just call David at (845) 247-0909.

Who to Release? $89.95 This book is concerned to explore the changing role of the Parole Board across the range of its responsibilities, including the prediction of risk and deciding on the release (or continued detention) of the growing number of recalled prisoners and of those subject to indeterminate sentences. In doing so it aims to rectify the lack of attention that has been given by lawyers, academics and practitioners to back door sentencing' (where the real length of a sentence is decided by those who take the decision to release) compared to front door sentencing' (decisions taken by judges or magistrates in court). Particular attention is given in this book to the important changes made to the role and working of the Parole Board as a result of the impact of the early release scheme of the Criminal Justice Act 2005, with the Parole Board now deciding in Panels concerned with determinate sentence prisoners, lifers and recalled prisoners. A wide range of significant issues, and case law, has arisen as a result of these changes, which the contributors to this book, leading authorities in the field, aim to explore. |
