What's New in WordPress 3.1

A new WordPress update has arrived. Many things have changed in this content management platform in recent years, now the updates of new versions are a simple button.   23-wordpress_logo For those of us who suffer this doing it via ftp, in some moments we have even come to think that simplicity makes the code lose the grace. But how good that a free-use tool can have that level of evolution.

The innovations are in aspects and usability, already necessary and as an open source tool, obey to changes requested by the community.

Greater control of what we see.

A button called "Screen Options" has been added, which allows us to customize what we want to be visible or hidden. It's a just great change, depending on what we're operating, it contextualizes and complements the AJAX ease of dragging panels.

For the case, I'm showing them the input panel, see that I can choose which fields may be visible in the Browsing and even how many posts are displayed down. This functionality is very good, since as we install plugins, spaces are usually added that limit the workspace.

You can also choose how many columns you want to see. Imagine having the writing pad again post without so much clutter.

Direct access to the admin panel

Shown above, a Blogger-like bar, with quick panel access, widgets, new entry, there is a search form, and it also shows recent updates. Very good, although I have not seen if the option to hide or customize it can be configured somewhere. I suppose it would relieve the risk of being opened by mistake.

For programmers there are other novelties that more than content worry that you have to update developed plugins. To not say something outrageous, I'd better leave it as is was announced.

There's a bucket of candy for developers as well, including our new Post Formats support Which makes it easy for themes to create portable tumblelogs with different styling for different types of posts, New CMS capabilities Like archive pages for custom content types, a New Network Admin, An overhaul of the import and export system, and the ability to perform Advanced taxonomy and custom fields queries.

In good time for news from Wordpress.
