Cosmetic Improvements 1. Refined Admin Menu bar The admin bar has been refined but it now also appears as part of the dashboard section too.This improved version has had some re-arranged items and it also contains new menu items such as the WordPress logo in the top left corner. When you hover over it it reveals some useful links such as an “About WordPress” and also links to the WordPress site, documentation, and support forum.Some elements in the previous version of the menu bar have been merged such as the Dashboard and Appearance which are now both combined into one menu item which has a label bearing your site’s name.2. Refined and Improved Menu Sidebar The menus on the sidebar have also changed and most if not all of the menu changes are actually only CSS3 implementations. For instance in previous versions the sidebar menu items utilized a click-to-expand format.

A Cloud With a Silk Lining & The Kindle Fire
When Amazon launched the Kindle Fire recently you could be excused if your initial thoughts were whether we really need another mobile tablet device on the market.However, when the features and capabilities were revealed it quickly became apparent that this is not just another tablet device akin to the very popular iPad or the other alternatives such as the Samsung Galaxy Tablet.The Kindle Fire has something within its browsing capabilities which the other tablets don’t have by default. I’m referring specifically to the new web browser by Amazon, called Silk.The Silk web browser differs from most of the standard browsers in one major aspect - Silk exploits the cloud computing concept by leveraging most of the grunt and processing capabilities off the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.This means that instead of performing all of the processing on-board to display web content, the Kindle browser leaves most of that task to the Amazon servers which live in its cloud network. Hence, given today’s sophisticated and large amounts of web data, the cloud model offers huge benefits in performance and delivery.(Note: This cloud architecture is not unique to the Silk browser and has actually already been done before. Opera was the first browser to employ a ...

Important Things You Should Know About the Upcoming WordPress 3.2 Release
The upcoming WordPress 3.2 release has moved from beta to release candidate (RC) which means the final release is just around the corner. You can download and install the WP3.2 release candidate (RC1) and install it on your test server to test and make sure that the plugins and themes that you use are working correctly. We have already tested some of our popular plugins (WordPress Shopping Cart, WordPress membership plugin etc) on this WordPress version and they are working fine. 1. Minimum MySQL5 and PHP5 Required This is good news for any plugin or theme developer as you do not have to make your plugin or theme work with the older version of PHP or MySQL. This should also force the hosting providers to sell hosting with newer version of PHP and MySQL. In my opinion it is very unfair to the customer for hosting providers to sell hosting that uses very old version of PHP.If you happen to be on a server that is still using PHP4 or MySQL4 then you need to contact your hosting provider and get them to upgrade it so when WordPress 3.2 gets released you can upgrade your site. If your hosting provider refuses to ...
