There are a lot of changes happening with Wordpress 3.0, (due this May) and at first look, it doesn’t look like much. Let me tell you, it is a lot more than you think.
The biggest change for us IMers out there: Wordpress and Wordpress MU are MERGING!!
That’s right! Wordpress and Wordpress MU are no longer separate files. They are merging them into one install!
You can do a MU install with some manual coding steps and you will have a MU site just like that! Easy to understand, easy to maintain, very intuitive.
Once MU has been initialized, you get a ton of extra options and settings to work with, and it is very easy to work with.
There is also a new default theme that comes with 3.0. It is twenty ten and is much more robust than the previous one.
Also, custom menus are now available in 3.0. If you want to add an external link, a custom page, a category, or others, you no longer have to have a coder edit your theme for you! Just create, add, and go!
There has been a revamp in custom post types, beefing it way up! Now you can easily create a vlog, or Podcasting site.
There is a lot more, but this is just a taste of what is to come.
Talk soon!

This is very exciting. I’m sure you’re just as excited about the new features that will be coming with it, such as the post types! I already have a million ideas as to what those could be used for.
