It’s been released! WordPress 3.0 has hit the streets and is ready for everyone to download. It comes with a whopping 1217 bug fixes from the previous version and has a bunch of new awesome features. Theme designers can now allow custom menus, there’s the ability to create new post types and headers and backgrounds can now be configured using functionality that’s baked into the WordPress core.

The best bit however is the combined core between WordPress and WordPress MU. This means that you can start with a single site installation and grow it into a multi user site. So you can start with a wedding site, and grow a new blog on wedding clothes, one on wedding napkins and one on wedding flowers.
