WordPress 3.3 is almost here! Currently at Beta 4, a release candidate is apparently very close. We’ll hopefully be upgrading blogs.kent from 3.2.1 to 3.3 sometime in December, if the normal WordPress release timeline is anything to go by.
WordPress 3.3 brings with it several new features and tweaks for blogs.kent users. One of the nicest in my opinion is the much improved drag-and-drop media tool, to let you add images and video to your blog post really easily. Another death-knell for Flash, the new media uploader uses HTML5 (and Silverlight, which seems a strange choice, but I guess they wanted to cater for the maximum number of people?)
They’ve also refined/changed the admin bar (again), so expect things to be a little differently laid-out.
All in all, WordPress is shaping up to be a really great tool not just to blog about stuff, but to build up a nice little website for yourself.
Until we get 3.3 up on blogs.kent, you can read a list of some of the key new features in a bit more detail at wpmu.org.
