The much awaited Wordpress version 2.6 has just been released and is now running on Bulletpoints!
Here is a brief overview of the new features that are relevant to the public relations practitioner:

• Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of edits
  This is a great feature, especially if you have a multi author blog.
• Press This!: Post from wherever you are on the web
  With a move to make blogging more and more accessible this feature makes blogging really easy, no excuses now for marketing communicators and mobile warriors!
• Shift Gears: Turbo-speed your blogging
  This feature utilizes Google Gears, which basically downloads as much of the sites files 7 scripts so that they run locally, this dramatically speeds up load times on pages.
• Theme Previews: See it before your audience does
  Another great feature for those who are very active in improving and upgrading their blogs, check that new theme without the whole world knowing!

There are also a few smaller features that might come in handy, such as a word count which saves copying and pasting back & forth from word.
