This is the kind of stuff we get excited about because we’re a bit nerdy at times. WordPress has just released the newest version of their popular content management system (CMS), WordPress 3.4 “Green.”
Nicknamed after jazz master Grant Green, the new version has some neat new options. You can play with themes in real time before making them live, trick out your header and view the changes in real time, embed tweets easily and beautifully and much, much more.
In short, there are enough new features to play with that we’re pretty excited to try them out. Some of these upgrades to WordPress (and other things too like iPhone iOS updates) are boring. They fix bugs and security issues that are extremely important, but just not “fun.”
Check out this video to see some of the changes in action:
This is our first attempt to embed a tweet with the new Twitter function, so here goes:

So backup your database and then install 3.4!
