WordPress 2.9 Features You Definintely Want

Maybe WordPress 2.9 started on the wrong foot with the weird CURLPROTO_FILE bug. But after watching the introductory video of Carmen (WordPress 2.9) I’ve decided to not think about the bug at all.

I never knew the WordPress team had made this new version so much more. Instead of me having to describe it in letters and words for you, watch the video and you’ll want to upgrade to WordPress 2.9.

So, did you find the highlighted features cool? Just say, yes.

Previously, thumbnails in posts could only be achieved by custom fields or integrating scripts like timthumb but now, it’s all with the default WordPress baby!

How Much Will The New Maybnk2u Lose?

Updated October 17, 2008 @ 4:19PM:
Guys, David told me I can login via the Classic version now.

Though there were good times of attending the new Maybank2u sneak preview, I’m beginning to worry about their website now – I’m very worried.
