WordPress in the Azure Web Sites App Gallery updated to version 3.8

WordPress 3.8, code named "Parker" (in honor of bebop innovator Charlie Parker) is now available in the Azure Web Sites App Gallery. WordPress 3.8 is a major facelift compared to previous versions, with a modern, flat, and uncluttered design, clean typography using Open Sans typeface, and a colorful Admin Dashboard. With Parker, WordPress also adapts better to different platforms, and displays better with faster rendering thanks to vector-based icons.

In addition, WordPress 3.8’s theme management interface is more streamlined and improves on the Widget management experience. A full list of changes and new features is available here.
