To those of you who only know of wordpress as a social blog community, this may not be a big deal but for those who’ve known wordpress even before the advent of Wordpress.com would probably be eager to see what’s different.

I haven’t clicked the update link on my wordpress admin panel yet (I’m waiting for a compatibility check with my plugins) but a lot of the new features are really worth being excited about.

  1. Global Trash/ Undo – I actually have mixed feelings about this. I’ve always wanted an undo feature in wordpress but I never thought it could be implemented in the same way as a trash bin. It does go hand-in-hand with the trend of doing everything on the web.
  2. Image editor – This is something really big specially if you work with wordpress as much as I do (and if you use it with newspaper/magazine sites the way I use it with the GUIDON and G).
  3. Easy Video embedding – This would be a great help to those who like sharing youtube posts a lot but I wonder if the code will be xhtml valid afterwards?

I’ll probably try this out on my offline installation of wordpress tonight before I upgrade any of the wordpress blog installations I have :-) . If you wanna know more about wordpress 2.9 check Wordpress.org.
