WordPress has launched their 13^th major release of wordpress i.e. WordPress 3.0 and have named it “Thelonious“..I must say here that wordpress keeps very strange names most of the time when their launch their new release.

WordPress, in it’s official post says:

Arm your vuvuzelas (it’s noise sux – Typhoon) : WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard).

Some of the major highlights of this update are:

• New Default Theme called Twenty Ten (not something amazing for me)
• WordPress and WordPress MU have merged, allowing the management of multiple sites (called Multisite) from one WordPress installation.
• WordPress says the the new interface is lighter…Let see how it is after I test it out.
• New custom menu management feature, allows creation of custom menus combining posts, pages, categories, tags, and links for use in theme menus or widgets.
• Support for shortlinks.
• A lighter admin color scheme to increase accessibility and put the focus more squarely on your content.
• Custom header and background APIs.
• and many other features have been introduced…

Check Out All The Feature List Of New WordPress 3.0

Here is a video from WordPress that explains major highlights of WordPress 3.0:

WordPress 3.0 is having lots of features this time. And I must say that wordpress is really getting better with every release. Let’s hope that WordPress release a more stable release 3.1 that will fix the bugs of 3.0 that people will discover.

I haven’t yet updated the wordpress version and waiting to see what problems people are facing while upgrading so that I can be prepared with a solution for it.

What about you? Have you updated to WordPress 3.0? Did you faced any kind of trouble? Is you theme properly working (specially, the ultimate blogging theme user..is the theme working) ? Let me know all that by commenting below…

Update: I’ve now updated to WordPress 3.0 and everything looks fine. The ultimate blogging theme is also compatible with it. I’m just hunting right now to see if any plugin is not compatible with it. If you are looking to upgrade to WordPress 3.0 then do take backup of your database. It will be a Smart Decision

On April 9th, 2010 , Google finally declared that Website Speed really matters and they have now included this as one of the 200 signals which affects your rankings on Google.

The new algorithm is called as “Site Speed” which reflects how much time does a website takes to respond to a web request. If you have faster and relevant website then better are the chances of getting top rankings.

Google, in its post states that:

Speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we’ve seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there.

I completely agree to this point made by Google that Site Speed makes the user experience better. In past, we also read a guest article – “Faster Web Sites For Happier Visitors And Better Conversion Rates” in which the author told us why speed of a website matters and he contributed some tips in short which can be taken in order to speed up the website. If you haven’t read it then you must go and read that out.

Earlier, I didn’t used to bother much about my blog speed but as the blog traffic grew; the need of resources started growing up and the blog loading time was something like 20-25 seconds that time. Then I took some steps to optimize my blog speed and brought the loading time to 5-10 seconds which is considered good and it has really improved the overall experience of my blog visitors.

If you are having slow site speed then don’t get disappointed as Google have also stated that this signal doesn’t carries much weight right now as much the relevance of a page matters. But still that doesn’t means that you don’t need to optimize the speed of your website.

I strongly suggest you to optimize your website site speed in order to improve your visitors experience. If that is better then hopefully you will earn better profits with your website.

TIP: Take help of Google Webmasters inbuilt Site Performance tool. This will tell you the sectors on which you have to work on to improve your site speed. The tool also tells the average loading time of all your pages.

So readers, What’s your opinion on the site speed factor that has now been included as a ranking factor. Do you really bother to optimize your website speed or you are just happy that your website is opening quickly at your home(which is the only thing that matters to you)?

WordPress Users can now enjoy better wordpress experience by upgrading to the newer version 2.9 named “Carmen”. The new name has been kept in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae.

WordPress 2.9 comes Up with many new features as always. The main new features I’ve actually seen so far are the addition of the “Post Thumbnail” box in the writing screen, the new “Trash” status for posts, pages, and comments, and the image editor in the Media Library.

Here is a list of major features which can be seen in Worpdress 2.9 (source: wordpress.org):

Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.

Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.

Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.

Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).

You can see these Major Changes in a Video provided by wordpress:

Some other changes which looked interesting to me:

1. WordPress now have rel=canonical support for better SEO.
2. There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your wp-config.php file by adding: define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);
3. Themes can register “post thumbnails” which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.
4. A new commentmeta table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.
5. WordPress 2.9 now have upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.
6. Sidebars can now have descriptions so it’s more obvious what and where they do what they do.
7. Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories — like post types!
8. Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user’s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.
9. When you’re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save.
10. The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.

Moreover, WordPress 2.9 have come up with over 500 bugs fix and enhancement.

Beware While Upgrading – You May Face Some Problems

While upgrading, I faced some problems which weren’t that too big but it may scare some newbie wordpress user. The automatic upgrade feature which was brought in v2.7 still didn’t prove to work good like many have been complaining.

[Remember To Take Backup Of Your WordPress Before Upgrading]

In my case, while using AutoUpgrading feature of WordPress, the installation got hanged and it was showing “Installing WordPress”. The blog homepage showed the message “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute” to the people. If you face this problem, this means that upgrading wordpress was uncessucceful.

To Solve it:

1. Access your site files through a FTP program or Cpanel.
2. Locate a file named “.maintenance”(this file may be hidden).
3. And then, Delete it. And your readers will be able to read your blog properly.

But since upgrading failed, I was unable to log into my wordpress dashboard and it showed an error – “Call to undefined function get_file_data() in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 81″

Now to quickly fix it:

1. Access your site files again through Cpanel or a FTP program and go to the plugin folder of your wordpress blog.
2. Rename that folder so that it will appear “_plugin”
3. Now you will able to log into your wordpress dashboard

Once done; Try again to upgrade your wordpress version using autoupgrade and it could be successful. Now all you have to do is Delete the newly created “plugin” folder and then rename that folder back to “plugin” which we renamed “_plugin” in above Step 2.

Then you can experience the full functions of WordPress 2.9 properly.

I will stongly suggest you to get upgraded your wordpress to version 2.9 and experience better wordpress experience. Let me know what do you think about new wordpress? Have you upgraded to it? Did you face any kind of problem?

Recently, Mashable told about a new bug in which with the help of Google you can see private twitter profiles by using – site:http://twitter.com/*private profile* Here we are taking billclinton profile as an example.

But the problem is that you can only see some little words in the search results of Google and no cache.

So Now I went on and modified it. Now you can use that term on Yahoo search Engine. Just put – site:http://twitter.com/*private profile* in the yahoo search box and see the cache of the results listed there.

Here some of the updates extracted from Bill Clinton Profile.

• “So let me get this straight Hillary, your telling me I can’t run for president a third time?”

• “It’s all over…I have nothing to say, except…VP! VP! VP!”

DISCLAIMER:This post is just to notify Twitter about the problem and not to teach something dirty to the people out there.

This is guest post by Justin Burris of The Web Experiment.

It’s no secret that the true power of the internet lies in its ability to connect people. The medium has grown to become a constant hum that pervades our lives; its inescapable ubiquity means that every moment of our lives is recorded somewhere online.
We use Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace to write about ourselves and interact with others around the world. We spread information and ideas through a network of more complete than any other.

A New York investment banker and an impoverished African orphan are only a click away from one another. This facility of interaction allows us to spread these ideas rapidly, and in effect, spread them. People tell people who tell people. Though apparent, this viral effect has never been scientifically examined.

The Web Experiment is the first attempt to properly document the web’s virality. The Web Experiment will examine the internet’s viral nature by tracking how many people will visit a website solely to see how many others have already visited the site.

People will tell one another about the Experiment, and curiosity will drive viewers to the website that their contact have told them about. The same effect is what drives YouTube videos to garner millions of views; people want to see what other people see. We are a social species; we have an unquenchable urge to know more about what others do. These primal instincts drive the spread of information, and The Web Experiment will see just how powerful these instincts to share, learn, and explore are.

The number of unique individuals who have visited the site is displayed in real time on the website. The site also contains a blog where the experimenters will record the progress of the Experiment as it advances.

Hopefully, by monitoring how people are referred to the website, the experimenters will learn more about how ideas are spread. This unique website will surely provide insight into the nature of the internet, allowing for a greater understanding of human interactions on a global scale.

I am waiting for your opinions about this Web Expirement.
