WordPress 2.6 version was released yesterday a full month ahead of schedule. The new version 2.6 is called “Tyner,” named after jazz pianist McCoy Tyner and contains a number of new features that make WordPress a more powerful CMS.

With WordPress 2.6 you can now track changes to every post and page and even post from wherever you are on the web. Naturally there are dozens of other improvements from the previous version.

I’ve watched with interest on the development of the latest WordPress version 2.5. The tension and anticipation has been built up over the last few month and I have to give credit to the guys over at development. They certainly know how to keep us on our toes.

But now that the curtain has been well and truly drawn and bloggers have started to play with their new bubble wrap, the ugly truth seems to surface and I don’t think you are going to like it either.

I’m a strong supporter of using web site templates to create web sites. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I actually designed my own sites. It just takes way too much time. With so many website template repositories on the net today, there are more than enough choices to pick from.

Although I’m not a professional web designer, I do have above average web design skills. So, buying a template and customizing it for my needs is quite an easy task. But what if you’re a complete beginner? With no technical experience whatsoever. Is it as easy?

Well, it depends.
