WordPress

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.

Blog permalinks can carry a lot of weight for bloggers in regards to search engines. What many don’t know is how to set them for maximum link juice with Google and the other search engines.

So off we go, we set them one way or another only to regret this later when we become more savvy. But if we were to change them without precautions we would loose all existing links and indexed pages by search engines as the link structure would change.

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.

Now we’re on to our second website type in the Different Types of Website Series. The first type was a mini site. Today, we’re moving on to blogs.

What are blogs?

In the past few years, blogs have evolved so much that I’m actually finding it hard to define what it really is. Also known as weblogs, blogs may be hard to describe but easy to recognize. A blog can be recognized by the way its content is organized. You will notice that new content are displayed at the top. So, as new content is added the old ones will move down. Very much like what you see on the WebBriefcase’s blog homepage.
