Wordpress 3.2 update is available

[SZNY]

I like the UI and my sites also loads much faster

[fris]

yep looks nice ;) been beta testing it for a couple weeks.

[moeloubani]

about to install on a domain always fun to see a dramatic upgrade to wordpress

[harvey]

yeah, I think I wet my panties earlier today. As if it wasn't enough with being the best damn CMS in the market already (counting both free and paid and by light years of difference), they pulled the bar even further. Ultra fast, light weight, HTML5 support, the only thing it needs is to buy access to pay sites by itself!

Seriously, every single time I see any kind of site not made in WP I just wonder why and think in the many ways that site could be improved by only using the best damn system to date. And on top of that... FREE!

[sicone]

just finished upgrading all my installs

[Jayvis]

I like it

you change fonts in the style sheet.

You can also do inline CSS as per this example: http://mcbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/05/...ing-wordpress/

[rock-reed]

It is a nice looking update... the admin area looks very nice.

[SZNY]

I'm loving WP and this update makes your sites load super fast. Last night I already updated a few domains and all of them are much faster in loading. Still 55 to upgrade.

[just a punk]

you can place an editor-style.css in your theme dir and it will theme it to your liking, have a look at the twentyten or twentyeleven editor-style.css it comes with.

maybe it's just you? I can do it perfectly fine and this is one of the most common things you'll do with WP, by now someone else should have the same problem. Keep in mind this new installation WON'T WORK with old PHP and MySQL versions (namely, any 4.x version of both)

[HomerSimpson]

Yeah I'm not seeing this either, I've been using RC2 last week and 3.2 today. But we might not be doing things exactly the same.

[Soteko]

Or is that just me?

From my experience,
