WordPress 3.0 is the thirteenth major release of this popular blogging software. The set of features introduced in this release have a significant impact on people who use WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS).

Here is the list of features that have been introduced in the 3.0 release

Custom Post Types

Prior to the release 3.0, the WordPress allowed you to publish two types of content by default: “Posts” and “Pages.” With the release of version 3.0, you can now define additional content types with their own attributes. For instance, if you’re running a WordPress site for a design agency, you may create a custom post type for displaying employee pages, another for portfolio items, and another for client testimonials. You may then customize your theme to better suit each individual post type.

Menu Management

Menu management offers you a complete control over your website’s navigation menus.  Offering easy drag and drop interface, it enables you to create menus that include any mixture of links to internal pages, external URLs, categories and any other field. You can then embed these custom menus as a widget wherever your theme allows.
Changing the order, titles, and destination of links is also an easy task with menu management in WordPress 3.0.

Custom Taxonomies

Custom taxonomies brings WordPress 3.0 closer to a true CMS. This feature enables you to create additional pieces of meta information.  For instance, if you have a real estate website, you might use additional categorizations to provide a list of specifications on each property like asking price, number of bedrooms, year built, etc in addition to photos and descriptions.

New Default Theme: “Twentyten”

Twentyten features a clean, yet bold design. It offers two features that are particularly useful if you’re new to WordPress and don’t have the coding skills to customize your theme.  These two features are:

Custom Header Image

This feature gives you the ability to easily change your site’s header image. Comprising eight interesting banner images to choose from, it also allows you to upload your own image.

Custom Background Image

This feature offers you the ability to upload your own background image for your site.  You can also set a solid background color if you want.  This feature is useful for those who don’t want to get their hands dirty and edit CSS.

Multi-site

With Multi-site, you can manage several different websites (with different domains and/or sub-domains) all with a single installation of WordPress.  What was previously known as WordPress MU (Multi-User) is now merged with the core WordPress system in 3.0.

Here are a few of the minor feature enhancements arriving in WordPress 3.0:

Get Shortlink (with your own domain)
This feature allows you to get a shortlink for your post based on your own domain name.

Author Templates
This feature is helpful for those who run multi-author blog and like to apply unique styles or layouts to individual author pages.

Select Username and Password During Installation

This feature allows you to define username and password during installation, saving you the hassle of changing them later.  It also adds a newlayer of security to your website.

If you are one of those who is looking to install WordPress in a hassle free manner, LimeDomains allows you to set up your WordPress application with just a single click.
