The latest and greatest version of WordPress has just been released. WordPress 2.3 adds, among other features, native tagging support so you can join in with all the hip websites that use tags.

Upgrading couldn’t be simpler, you simply need to grab the new archive, open it up and upload what’s inside, overwriting what was there before. It’ll take all of a few seconds! We did so here and our themes and plugins were preserved in all their glory! We did, of course, take a backup but didn’t need it in the end.

We are presently setting up some application specific areas on our website, each focusing on certain scripts. The first is the area of the site you are viewing now, aimed at Wordpress users.

As part of this subdomain’s stand alone blog we would like content on the latest news, tips and links for the WP end user. We want to keep the blog content fresh and constantly updated, with at least a few articles a week.   Blog comments will also need to be moderated in a sensible fashion.

At this time we are looking for volunteers to post articles and moderate comments on the WP blog. In return we are happy to assist with your hosting needs (see: free). Please drop an email to help@34sp.com with subject ‘Wordpress blog mod’ in the subject and I will get back to you.

Thanks in advance.
