WordPress 3.1 Now Available

You’ve probably heard by now that WordPress has released version 3.1, aka “Reinhardt,” a name in honor of the late, great, jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt. Although not quite noticeable at first glance, there are a number of changes increasing efficiency and customization in this release.

Be sure to upgrade and take advantage of these awesome new features. (mt) users who already have WordPress can upgrade with a couple clicks in their WordPress admin panel. For step by step instructions, visit the official WordPress upgrade page.

If you don’t have WordPress installed on your (mt) server just yet, we provide a 1-Click installer in the AccountCenter for (gs) users, and (dv) users can install from their Application Catalog.

  • Internal Post Linking

  • Streamlined Writing Interface
  • Post Formats
  • Network Admin
