Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

As you know WordPress 2.9 is on the way out end of this month. But I can’t wait anymore to upgrade WordPress to version 2.8.5. Not the version has great features, but to resolve some blog’s errors.

Let’s see what is new in WordPress 2.8.5 before go to fix my blog’s errors. Headline changes in the release are:
