Have you ever used WordPress MU? It’s the multi user version of WordPress that lets you create a blog for every user who registers with the site. It’s a big favourite, especially for people who want to offer the ability to others to create their own blogs, as it doesn’t cost anything extra to have another blog on the site (no incremental cost).

Well, with WordPress 3.0, WordPress and WordPress MU are being merged together. You’ll have a feature so that any standard blog can be turned into what’s called a Multisite configuration. So it doesn’t matter if your blog is about hosting or about the best acne treatment, you can now convert your site into one that supports multiple blogs with a pretty simple process.

The Release Candidate of WordPress 3.0 is now out for everyone to download and try. You may have seen the betas come available, but a Release Candidate is as close to the final version as you can get. In fact, if no major issues are uncovered, it will actually be the final release.

The reason behind a release candidate is that, although the software is tested on a variety of platform, there’s no way to mimic every possible combination of different requisites that WordPress relies on to work properly. So, this phase is crucial to gather an final information about what’s may or may not work to ensure as few problems as possible when the final version is released. So, whether you have a WordPress blog or a site about adult acne treatment, it’s always worth playing it safe and making sure it works on the latest release of WordPress.
