Its 2013 and Wordpress has a real lot to provide! A conventionally
great platform, equally useful for bloggers as well as developers, this section
of technocrats' brains has already done a wonderful job in snatching away
hearts of millions of users. And the journey has simply not stopped! Wordpress
has off late come up with its latest Wordpress 3.5, more lovingly called Elvin!
And yes, we love Elvin, just like we loved the human one! So what's so new
about this version? Let's find out!
Twenty-twelve
Well thought by designers around, now, it would no more be about header
images and no fidgeting with specifications regarding sizes. A simple default
theme, with a minimalistic design, integrated with the responsive design
concept and absolutely friendly for surfers who use mobiles! Really a lot
packed into one! It is simple, retina friendly and most importantly, very easy
to optimize in your own sweet way!
A new media manager
Those who have been using this platform for quite a good amount of
time, are bound to notice the difference. There has been a lot of grumbling and
grudging regarding the media integration facility that Wordpress had earlier to
provide. Yes, they have worked on that. Galleries are now extremely easy to put
in with the new drag and drop thing. There is now a single 'add media' button
at the top of the edit post page. And what more, images can now be edited in
the editor itself! There is a provision to name your image, scribble in
alternate text and describe the image. And what is the use? Well, some of the
SEO aspect is solved by this new media manager almost automatically!
A better User Interface.
Eyes are best at gain now. It more beautiful, more sophisticated and
way stickier than before! The entire Wordpress team has really done wonders in
crafting this phenomenal User Interface! And they have named it retina ready
one! Good naming skill! For developers, the new Meta queries are the latest
attraction, not to miss out the added Underscore and Backbone java-script
libraries!
In short, it has all for all! Better look, better support, better back
end control and better user friendliness, Elvin is truly the best!
