As a co-organizer of the Sarasota WordPress Meetup, I recently gave a presentation on WordPress 3.8 – A tour of new features. During the presentation, we took an early look at some of the key features for this latest release, including the new Admin Design, the updated Theme Management interface, and the new Dashboard Homepage. We also took a look at the new Twenty Fourteen theme that was released in conjunction with 3.8. Below, you can find my slides that I used during the presentation. We had a successful and engaging Meetup that night, and I’m definitely looking forward to more events such as this! * Please remember, if you’re planning on updating your version of WordPress, always run a backup first. This can’t be stressed enough. I’ve tried several backup solutions over the years, and by far my favorite is BackupBuddy. Simply put, it just works. Do yourself a favor, and enjoy the peace of mind that BackupBuddy can bring.
