Ok here it is, WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”. I just read it on the internet and I updated my RC version with only 2 mouse clicks from the dashboard. While I was writing this post I noticed that I was adding a page instead. They seem to differ.
There are several new features added since 2.9 including the possibility to create custom menu’s. Also a nice feature is that you can create custom menu’s. You can add items to it like links to an existing page or category within WordPress, or a link to an external website. The default theme is replaced by the new ‘Twente Ten Theme’ and also the admin area is has a new look. I didn’t test it, but it seems possible users can create separate blogs now from one WordPress. See the release notes for detailed information about this release.

Yesterday I installed a new version of WordPress. I was curious about this upcoming 3.0 release, and since there is a 3rd RC version already I installed it. In the previous WordPress version I had disabled comment posting for non-registered users because of the flood of spam messages I received, but I now enabled it again and activated an anti-spam plugin. Now I’m online 1 day and I still not have a spam comment on my posts, yay! As you can see the layout changed, but it might be temporary. It’s just the new default template for WordPress 3.0. When the final version is there I will install it.
This morning I found a funny website where you can calculate how far you can travel from a certain location if you drive for example 3 hours. The calculation itself may take some time, but eventually you will see a map overlay of the area you can reach within the travel time you entered.
Recently Apple released the iPad in the United States. Many reviews were published about the iPad, but Tom Dickson of Bledtec only has one question: will it blend? Occasionally Dickson puts valuable things in a blender. Earlier, the iPhone and iPhone 3G had their change, but now it’s time for the iPad.
Have a look at the Blendtec YouTube channel for more flavors.
