WordPress 4.3 [JAZZ]
named for jazz legend [JAZZER]
makes your writing workflow faster,
your site easier to customize
and your passwords stronger.
Let's take a look at how
WordPress 4.3 is helping
one small business owner.
This is Kate,
and this is the website for Kate's cafe:
Schroedinger's Cup.
Kate wants to provide a daily menu
for her customers
to keep them updated on
what she's serving each day.
This morning she's going to make that happen
right in WordPress.
Kate's new daily menu page
will tell her customers
what she's brewing and
what's for lunch that day.
She wants to make her formatting nice and clear
for her customers so they can quickly
see what's on offer.
In WordPress 4.3 she can change how her
text looks without any clicks.
Formatting shortcuts allow her to create
lists, headings, and quotes,
without breaking her flow.
That keeps the task of publishing her daily menu
straightforward and fast,
leaving her free for the serious business
of making coffee.
Time for Kate to add the new page to the
navigation menu on her sidebar.
There's no need to go to the
admin to do this.
In WordPress 4.3, Kate can add her
new menu item from the customizer,
where she can live preview changes
to her website before she publishes them.
When viewing her new page, all she has to do
is click "customize", select "menus",
and add the new page to her sidebar menu.
That wasn't hard.
Now Kate's customers can check her website
every day to see what she's serving.
There's another new tool in the customizer.
Kate can now upload a site icon so that
her logo appears in browser tabs
and bookmark menus.
Her customers can even create a shortcut
on the homescreen of their mobile device.
Now they always have Kate's daily menu,
whenever they need it.
And those aren't the only changes to
WordPress 4.3.
When Kate adds a new staff member
to her website, WordPress will generate
a strong password for them.
If the staff member changes that password,
WordPress tells them if their password
is strong.
That's enough WordPress for today,
Kate's got a business to run.
But she's happy that with every update
WordPress keeps improving.
And she in turn can keep her customers happy,
giving them the information they need,
right at their fingertips.
