WordPress Tutorial - An Introduction to WordPress 2.7

http://www.freemarketmediagroup.com/

This is the first in a series of WordPress 2.7 Tutorials.

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.

The popular open source blogging software WordPress has officially released version 2.7, a significant upgrade that makes huge improvements to the user interface, and, more importantly, according to founder Matt Mullenweg, the new code lays the groundwork for WordPress to expand further into the social networking realm.

With the release of version 2.7 (Coultrane) you'd be hard pressed to find someone who thinks the new interface is anything but stunning.

Even better than stunning is the amazing amount of customizations options — if the new interface isn't to your liking, just hide, drag-and-drop, rearrange or resize the elements until it is.

There are also some very useful new features like the ability to create "sticky" posts, posts that remain on your homepage no matter when they were published, as well as some great new comment moderation tools.

I think the point of having media of your own is so you won't have to rely on someone else's media, which could be taken down.

I was very impressed with the way the new Wordpress was explained. I have been using it for several months now and learned A LOT of things from this video that I did not know! Thank you!
