The latest version of Wordpress which is 2.1 (codenamed Ella) has come out yesterday, a few days after the release of 2.0.7 version. Using the one-click install feature of Dreamhost’s web admin panel, I managed to upgrade this blog without hassle. That was easy but now I could not resist to explore the new features of Wordpress CMS, lol! Here are the highlight of several new features such as Ajax comment moderation in this new version.
1) Autosave makes sure you never lose a post again.
2) Our new tabbed editor allows you to switch between WYSIWYG and code editing instantly while writing a post.
3) The lossless XML import and export makes it easy for you to move your content between WordPress blogs.
4) Our completely redone visual editor also now includes spell checking.
5) New search engine privacy option allows you take you to indicate your blog shouldn’t ping or be indexed by search engines like Google.
6) You can set any “page†to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else, making it much easier to use WordPress as a content management system, and lots more.
