If you’re operating your web site on the WordPress platform, you are part of an estimated 22% of users worldwide doing the exact same thing.
WordPress 4.0 has been rolled out, bringing along not just a new release, but a set of great goodies as well that many domain investors, bloggers and business entrepreneurs will thoroughly enjoy.
Before upgrading, back up your database, even if you feel tempted to just click on the “upgrade” button.
The upgrade itself takes a few seconds.
Among the new, improved features in WordPress 4.0 – codenamed, “Benny” – are the following:
- Manage your media and embedded content with style
- Explore your uploads in a beautiful, endless grid
- A new details preview makes viewing and editing any amount of media in sequence a snap.
- The content-editing experience is better than ever
- The visual editor now expands to fit your content
- A fixed toolbar in the editor when you scroll
- Embeddable content previews right in the visual editor
- Better workflow for finding and installing plugins
- A new grid view adds some visual flair to finding and installing plugins, bringing relevant plugin info front and center
As always, keep in mind that “WordPress” is a registered trademark and you should not register domains using it! 😉 Of course, the platform itself is free to use.
Yay!
