Wordpress Update 2.3 Rocks!

Their was a new update for wordpress, version 2.3 personally I love this update for several reasons.

1: I can kick out a load of plugin’s,before I had around 20 or so doing a lot of things, but after this update it is now doing a lot more for example the tags in your write post/page that kicks out a few of my plugins by itself, especially Ultimate Tag Warrior, but I occasionally use it for the keyword suggestions.

2: More editor buttons, now if you do most of your work in the WebUI then you will love this, not only can you clean up the coding but you can also colour your text this has taken tinymc editor to the next level and saves me making my own modifications to it, I am also using my wordpress blog instead of google doc’s and spreadsheets.

3: Plugin updating, this has kicked out another plugin for me when you go into your plugin tabs you will now see if their is a new version of the plugin, I rarely update my plugins unless its something I really use a lot for example the most important plugin is WP_Cache and Throttle, so if i want to check if their is a new update I can just go to the plugins tab, I haven’t looked at how it works but a old plugin i used to check for updates used to take a while to load but now its just their.

What I’m Waiting For

Now I have a lot of things I want, which I can’t be bothered to create myself for example the instant upgrade plugin, now I love this plugin it is one of my favorite when it comes to updating, all you need to do is click one button and everything is done for you, Now I would love to see this actually built into wordpress, maybe even a automatic updating tool.

A sitemap generator, automatically generating a ror.xml file for all the search engines considering wordpress is well known for its SEO friendly CMS why does it not already have this built in its easy enough so why are we not seeing this yet.

I hope that I will see these soon built into wordpress or at least come with wordpress Drupal stick a load of modules with their CMS why can Wordpress not do it, would make life easier for newcomers to blogging.

What would you like to see on Wordpress and what do you think of the 2.3 update?
