WordPress 3.9 Coming April 16
WordPress 3.9 is currently in its third beta and, according to the company, is scheduled to be officially released to all users on April 16th. If your blog or website runs on WordPress, updating to the latest version is always recommended. With that being the case, we wanted to give you a brief overview of some of the main new features you can expect to see when version 3.9 comes out next week.
Live Theme Previews
Making a change
to your WordPress theme, saving it, and then refreshing your browser window to
view the changes is a thing of the past. Now you can see what everything looks
like before it goes live. Under the Appearance > Themes > Customize page
in the admin system you can now “Live Preview” themes.
You can also
tweak all customizable assets in your theme, like widgets, while in Live
Preview mode. While in Live Preview mode you also have the ability to
upload, crop, and manage header images, and see how the image looks with the
rest of your site before going live with it.
A Slew of New Image-Related Features
Drag
and Drop Images

Live
Preview Of Photo Galleries
Before, when you added a photo gallery to your post, all you saw was a placeholder box indicating where the photo gallery would be. Now you get a live preview of photo galleries while editing your post, so you can see how they will actually look on your site when published.
