Went live for download over the weekend. Will be having a look at it over the next day or so. Looks a great release, with some much needed improvements, including:

• Improved admin dashboard, which can now include widgets
• Multi-file uploads
• Search pages as well as posts with default search facility
• Better tag management
• Direct plugin upgrades - just click and your plugins will be upgraded for you
•  Improved rich-text editor
• Built in image galleries

So, plenty of stuff to get your teeth into. Neville Hobson has some great notes on upgrading.

For Immediate Release is one of my favourite podcasts, which has Shel Holtz, Neville Hobson and a host of other contributors talking social media, web 2.0 and how it affects public relations and business communications. It’s good stuff.

Yesterday, Neville needed someone to step in to fill a few minutes, so I stepped up to the plate and spoke about barcampukgovweb. Neville has been very sweet and praised my efforts, but I think he might just be trying to make me feel better Seriously, though, it was real honour to be a part of the show.

Anyway, you can download the episode here. I come in at about 16 minutes. I’d really like some feedback, as online audio is something I would like to do more of in the future. In other words, see this as your chance to stop me.
