WordCast Conversations 13: WordPress 3.0

Published on May 5, 2010 in Podcasts. 0 Comments

WordPress Logo 300x300 WordCast Conversations 13: WordPress 3.0It’s lucky episode 13 of Word­Cast Con­ver­sa­tions, and this week we’ve got a jam-packed episode ded­i­cated to the newest ver­sion of Word­Press set to hit web­sites every­where in mere days – Word­Press 3.0. Joined by an expert panel, Dave and Kym will run down all the new fea­tures, and chat about where Word­Press is heading.

Panel

Jeff is excited about the menu man­age­ment although it’s still a bit rocky. Side­bars have had drag and drop­pable wid­gets for ages, and now but­tons in a menu will have the same capability.

Word­Press is Quickly Becom­ing a CMS

  • Brad is excited about cus­tom post types and cus­tom taxonomies.
  • Word­Press now uses the word “site” through­out the inter­face in place of “blog” and “weblog”.

Thoughts on the Cur­rent 3.0 Beta Version

  • Jeff has enjoyed play­ing with menu management.
  • Brad is a lit­tle annoyed with the menus issue.

Mul­ti­site Settings

  • Jeff warns that it’s still difficult.
  • Miriam finds it much quicker than work­ing with MU.

Devel­op­ers are work­ing with 3.0 already for their clients, plan­ning projects around the new features.

Miriam men­tioned that Dru­pal is becom­ing a big­ger deal in the CMS world these days.

New Default Theme: 2010

  • Bye-bye to Kubrick! You served us well.
  • Dave and Miriam aren’t fans of themes with admin panels.
  • The Great Divide: Devel­op­ers and less code-friendly Word­Press users seem to be divided on the issue of theme set­tings in the Word­Press admin panel. They get in the way of the code when you’re try­ing to develop a cus­tom theme, and actu­ally slow down Word­Press load­ing times, but many blog­gers enjoy the sim­plic­ity. Where do you stand?
