WordPress today announced that version 2.6 of the popular blogging platform is now available to download, for free of course. This version comes more than a month earlier than expected and is packed with a fair few new features, including a post word count, new media functions, and the ability to view your blog with a different theme before making it live. Check out the below video for the full details:

Version 2.5 of WordPress has been anticipated for some time now, and the new version will bring with it several impressive changes, such as Gravatar support as standard, multiple uploads, and tagging management. All this in a fresh new interface.
Recently the guys over at WordPress put up this article which gives a sneak peek at the final 2.5 interface and a general idea as to what you can expect. It has to be said at first I was weary of any changes being made to the WordPress backend, but the latest interface has an overall impressive style and seems to flow very well, and if you prefer the classic blue colours, you can even switch back to them.
WordPress 2.5 should be hitting very soon, so be on your toes and ready to update.
Tonight I have upgraded chrisbrandrick.com to the latest version of WordPress, which is 2.3. The new version has several neat new features so be sure to upgrade if you haven’t yet by visiting the WordPress site.
