Well, if you didn’t have anything better to do today I guess you could hop on over to WordPress for the brand new WordPress 2.3. Taking the words strait out of their mouth, “this release includes native tagging support, plugin update notification, URL handling improvements, and much more.” Sounds good to me.

The best feature I think is the new pending review feature. This feature is great in that it actually lets you submit a post for review by an editor. This means that running a large multi-editor blog using wordpress just got easier. They even added canonical URLs. Wow, they are really reaching out to the SEO audience here, although this will help anyone with their search engine optimization. For those of you that don’t know what this means, just try typing in businessblogger.net without the www and see where you go. It automatically redirects you to www.businessblogger.net so that this blog is seen as being on one domain by the search engines.

Also there is tagging support. This is a great feature as some people really enjoy using tags to navigate a site and we all know that the search engines love them too. They even added complete Atom 1.0 support for those that like to run Atom feeds. I think that this release is by far the best since I’ve been blogging, which is not long, but it speaks volumes of the support you get with WordPress. Congrats to the WordPress team and thanks for the great product. Now all you have to do is come up automatic updates and you will officially rule the blogging world.
