Today WordPress released “WordPress 3.0″, the thirteenth major release of the world class blog platform. It is available for download via the WordPress site or you can upgrade your existing blog from within your WordPress dashboard if you already have it.
Warning: We strongly recommend backing up all your site files and database prior to upgrading. Some plugins and other quirky bits in your site may not be compatible with version 3.0!
Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies.
V3.0 has finally seen a merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation.
