After testing many blogging platforms, I’ve become a WordPress believer and advocate. 3.0 is the latest new, massive update. I’ve already updated a test blog and will be doing the same with this site.
Instead of imparting my somewhat limited knowledge about this new update, I’ve instead, linked to some particularly useful articles and videos. I’ll be updating this post with more useful links as they’re published. This will serve as my 3.0 resource page should I have questions or encounter problems. Hope you find it useful. If you have suggestions for additional resources, please share.

If you have a free hour to spare, grab a glass of Merlot or an espresso and check out the very informative, hour-long video (below) of Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress discussing the new features.

As soon as I saw that 1 hour++ video length, I knew a cup of coffee needed. Probably not now but I’ll definitely saving this (maybe during weekends?). Some great resources provided here, but as I was about to access your post ‘Wordpress 3.0 – Complete Upgrade Tutorial’ the link indicated ‘Page not found’. Maybe something wrong with the link? May need to double check on it.
Overall, you’re improving well and wish you best to excel further!

Ching Ya! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, taking time to proof the links (I updated) and your always kind, encouraging words. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.
I haven’t been as consistent with posting to my blogs for the past couple of weeks – that darn making a living gets in the way, but it’s rewarding to see happy clients
