WordPress 3.6 will see some visual improvement on the admin side of things like for instance the Post Format UI is up for a change, but there’s more in the works.

PressNomics v2 is in the Making
If you own a WordPress business, the event to go to last year was PressNomics. In case you missed it and were sad about that – I sure was – it’s good to know there will be a second one.

The Post Formats UI Feature Coming to WordPress 3.6
One of the WordPress features we use a lot here on WP Realm are the post formats. However, we do not use it in its default way, we use it the Alex King way.
So with that in mind it’s quite exciting to see WordPress 3.6 will have a strong focus on the Post Formats UI in general. Aaron Campbell writes:
