WordPress 4.3 Is Live: Billie Holliday
Named after the legendary jazz singer, Billie Holliday, WordPress 4.3 is now up and running.
There are a five improvements I really appreciate:
- You can use a hashtag # to signify a headline when typing into the editor
- You can use an asterix as a shortcut for a bullet point.
- It’s much easier to keep a consistent brand – by placing your logo or icon in the Customizer it will populate browser tabs, bookmarks and more no matter what theme you switch to
- Beefing up the Customizer a tad more, you can now set up menus in it

Definitely update asap. It’s a better WordPress with some very useful tools and we hope more secure with its improved password functionality too.
