I really like the new Theme preview. Now when you select a theme it pops up a window that shows the theme live with all your content, instead of immediately making it active on your site. This is great for just test driving themes before making a switch over publicly, and it is also helpful when you are developing a theme and need to test it but don’t want everybody to see your ongoing development.
I have read on other blogs, thats its very important to update the newest version of Wordpress, because Hackers have more chance to attack a blog without an update.

Hey thanks for the post and video. I have been hesitant to update cause I didn’t know for sure what the updates were that they did. So thanks for posting about it. ~ Jeremy Newton
