Normally I don’t dork around enough to really care too much about different editions of wordpress and different software (and particularly blogging software).  Since I became a convert to wordpress some time in 2008 I’ve sort of seen the light though and how totally awesome this little piece of blogging software is.  I also use it in all sorts of applications so it really is pretty neat.

Anyway, Wordpress 2.8 is here and the best way to sort of highlight it and what it is and how the back end works (and all the new features) is to post their video about it. I’ve already updated easily 50% of the sites I have running Wordpress with it (and it takes about 2 seconds to do, which is another nice feature of it).  Even on a complicated site like www.hazardassembly.com, with all sorts of crazy plugins (for example the site’s entire login feature is powered by vbulletin for example off a completely different database) it upgraded flawlessly and effortlessly.

Here is the video explaining it all.  For the tech geeks out there, enjoy!
