Wordpress.com to the public, meaning that now anyone is free to sign up for a Wordpress blog without having to install the software. I feel the free hosting was added to compete with Blogger, however, Wordpress.com blows Blogger's free service out of the water with better usability and more features.
On December 20th, it was announced that Wordpress is now available on
Wordpress 2.0 came out on December 26th.
Some of the new features include
- Updated Internal Workings (to speed up posting, pinging and database queries)
- Ajax Lists and Categories in Admin
- Better Image/File Uploading
- And probably more that I'm overlooking.
Over the past few weeks, Wordpress has expanded its blogging software to help meet the needs of everyone. Wordpress.com for the average user, Yahoo Hosting for small businesses and an updated/upgraded software package for power bloggers to install on their own servers.
With all this momentum, what will 2006 bring for Wordpress?
