The popular blogging platform WordPress is expected to release version 2.6 in the next few weeks.

A beta version is currently available for testing and I’ve been using it at www.gorey.com.au.

Features include:

• Post revisions (save a history of edits);
• Support for Google Gears;
• Word count on posts;
• Enhanced plugin management;
• Ability to move the config file to a higher directory.

WordPress is the easiest blogging software to use and highly configurable given its large user community.

There have been some security concerns in the past and some users were unhappy with cosmetic changes in version 2.5.

The next release looks to be the best so far.
