WordPress Just Got Better with WordPress 2.9

WordPress 2.9 has been recently released to WordPress users. The latest version is called “Carmen” and includes a lot of notable additions which include a image editing tool so that you can scale, crop and rotate your pictures, simpler video embeds and to save you a lot of time, there is now batch plugin updating.

WordPress 2.9 focuses on making publishing and the managing of your blog content easier. Since WordPress holds plugins in high regards, it just makes sense that WordPress made the plugin compatibility and update process as easy as possible so that they can be compatible with the current version as well.

Every time you trash a post, page or comment it gets moved to the WordPress trashcan where it will stay for 30 days. So if you change your mind and you want to retrieve something, you are able to get it back as long as a month has not passed. All you have to do is to go to the new Trash tab and you can restore or permanently delete the content.

WordPress 2.9 can also automatically repair database tables in order to keep things more optimized so you can now have custom fields in the contact area, comment metadata and other features as well.

By default you will find that the new version supports Flickr, YouTube, Google Video, Photobucket, WordPress TV, Blip TV, Daily Motion, Scribd, Poll Daddy and many more.
