Upgrade to Wordpress 2.6

Filed Under Wordpress |  

Wordpress 2.6 is released on the 15 July. Over the last few days, I have updated the WP to version 2.6 for most of my clients. Version 2.6 is actually not a major revision as compared to version 2.5. The backend still looks pretty much the same. Among the new features of Wordpress 2.6, the key one is the “Turbo” which allows users to cache common files like stylesheets and scripts to their own computers. This can significantly speed up loading and operation times of Wordpress. Turbo is actually leveraging on Google Gear technology that allows for Firefox to “pre-cache” pages and speed up access. To enable Gears in your new WordPress 2.6 installation, click on the Turbo link in the upper right corner of your WordPress admin.

For updating the Wordpress, it is recommended to use the automatic update plugin. The plugin follows obediently the recommended 5 steps upgrade protocol.

    Can you provide your goods and services into the educational sector in your area. if you can and you are willing to offer the schools a discount, you could find your business in front of all the educational establishments in the uk. you also get direct communication with headteachers to update them with your special offers etc
