WordPress 3.8 has been released. This is my first time writing about a WordPress update, so just so you know, this sort of update is nothing new or rare–they happen every two or three months. This one you will notice, so I wanted to make you aware.

Updated Admin Design

The most significant change you will notice is a redesigned admin/dashboard area. So whenever you go to edit your pages, things will look a little different.

As far as I can tell, these are purely cosmetic differences; everything should still be where you expect it to be, it will just look a little different.
