The formatting and “Eye Candy” ability with CSS3 is pretty amazing.

It is time for BP to expand its vision of itself. Time to go beyond the narrow community, forum, blogs and groups functions within a narrow vertical market and increase the user base. Add these Admin capabilities mentioned above and you have a whole new BuddyPress.

Release Candidate is now available. This is the version just before the official release. It is in the final polishing off bugs and buffing up the shine.

I’ve been using WP 3.0 beta through three versions now.  I love it.  When I do a new install these days 3.0 has been my choice even for the beta and especially for RC.  There are so many subtle features and addition.  Here are a few of my favorites.

The Visual Editor goes WYSIWYG (Kinda)

The visual editor now seems to be in sync with the css for the theme post area.  At first I wondered why it was wrapping the text when I had so much edit window to the right.  Then when I did the preview and back to the editor I had the “Ah Ha” moment.  This is really nice and I’m glad to see it finally a part of the visual editor.  I don’t know if it will work for all themes.  But the two I’ve tried it with so far work flawlessly.

The Visual Editor has its own CSS

You can now add some styling to the visual editor.  You can also add your own “classes” and include them in the dropdown where we have always seen the Paragraph, H3, H4, etc.  I don’t have any reason to do any styling changes to the editor, but the geek in my likes to have the option.

Menus

I mentioned in a post a couple of weeks ago that creating custom menus will be an option in 3.0 and the menu links don’t have to be inside the site itself.  Which means if you have more than one blog and some really cool content on one you want in your menu for the other simply create a menu link to the post.

There are other things that are nice touches that we will see in the final release and I’ll mention them at that time.

But my favorite thing about WP 3.0 is the new Default theme “Twenty Ten”.  You are going to love this theme.

Well thought out and pretty easy to customize.  Twenty Ten deserves a couple of posts by itself.

Are You Ready?

If you are up to date on upgrades you are ready.  The other day I did a jump from 2.8 to 3.0 beta 2 without any problems, but all my databases are MYSQL 5.  If you any on 4.o or 4.2 you will have issues.

Get things ready now, because 3.o is going to Rock the WP world. (well, at least stone it a little)
