I got caught up and forgot to add it but it is added now. :) I will write a second post regarding your questions based on my opinion of the newest version. But I can tell you right now that it will make things much easier for the novice bloggers as far as shorturls, menu management, post types, and appearance. As a developer, the extended API is a plus too. Hey Kim, thanks for the link to the original post. I got caught up and forgot to add it but it is added now. :)

This means that an unstable version is available for plugin and theme developers can test compatibility of their code with the newest version of Wordpress before it is release publicly. So, as long as your plugins are maintained by their developer, you shouldn't have any problems. If you do, just deactivate the plugin. I love Open Source software but the biggest problem with it is that it can just not be supported or maintained anymore. So if a plugin isn't kept update because it's developer quit working on it, you shouldn't be using the plugin anyway. :) I do not see any problems with upgrading to the newest version of 3.0 right away. If you want to wait for a version of 3.0.x that may have some bug fixes you can do that too. :) Thanks! WordPress 3.0 has actually been out for a couple of weeks as a Release Candidate.

I hope that it won't be too hard for us non-techy people to work with. Now I've heard suggestions to wait a couple of days to make sure my plugins have time to upgrade. Are there going to be alot of issues with certain plugins? Anyway, I guess I'll find this out as I move into the upgrade! :) Val :) .-= Val Wilcox´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.valwilcox.com/its-all-about-the-story/" rel="nofollow">It’s All About The Story</a> =-.
