WordPress 3.3 beta 2
A new beta release of the latest and greatest WordPress is now available. WordPress 3.3 is now up to a beta 2 version and it looks like we are getting close to a new official version very soon. Dashboard improvements are nice along with performance enhancements. Here’s the latest.
- Updated the Blue theme
- Fixed IE7 and RTL support
- Improved flyout menu styling and fixed several glitches
- Finished the Pointers implementation
- Landed the dashboard Welcome box for new installs
- Improved contextual help styling
- Tweaked the admin bar a little more
- Fixed a bunch of bugs
The dashboard change is very nice. The sidebar pop outs are a nice change over expanding and collapsing boxes. Look for a new version release very soon.
Another Firefox Update
Firefox has just released another new version. Firefox 7 is out only six weeks after version 6. Version 7 is suppose to use much less memory and therefore may not crash as often when you have quite a few tabs open (like me) or leave it open for long periods of time. Go ahead and update Firefox to the new Firefox 7.

WordPress 3.2.1 Already!
A WordPress maintenance upgrade was released today taking us to version 3.2.1 and is available in your dashboard. You can upgrade easily and automatically.
If you haven’t upgraded to version 3.2 yet make sure your host is running php version 5 as this is now required by WordPress. You can get the Health Check plugin ( wordpress.org/extend/plugins/health-check ) and check your install. This will show you the exact version you are running.
You can also download this file, testphp.zip Unzip it and extract the file called test.php which you can ftp/upload to the root directory of your website. Then in your browser enter www.yourdomain.com/test.php. You get a page of info about the version and settings of the php system on the server you are using.

Along with many functionality and performance enhancements this version sports a new cleaner look to the admin area. Stay up to date and upgrade your WordPress install today. www.wordpress.org
WordPress 3.2 Leaves IE6 behind!
WordPress 3.2, is dropping support for Internet Explorer 6, a 10-years-old outdated browser that even Microsoft is ready to leave behind. If you access your WordPress dashboard with an outdated browser, it will let you know. Why? Because as web technology improves, so does WordPress, and they build new features to take advantage of these improvements. If you’re using an out-of-date browser, chances are you’re missing out. IE6 is dead! Bury it and be done with it!!
New WordPress Minimum Requirements
The minimum requirements needed to run WordPress are changing. As of version 3.2, you’ll need to be running PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0. Most hosting companies are already running these up to date versions but if they are not you could be in trouble. If you are running WordPress on your own server then this could be a problem also until you do some updating of your own. Read more about it here!
