Jetpack 3.0

Bulk editing (activating/deactivating) of modules? Sold!

There’s even a plugin out there to help bulk edit modules so it must have been an issue. Whenever there’s a plugin to change something in another plugin, if the developers are listening, then hopefully it will become a feature.

New layout, easier to navigate all of the tons of modules, bulk editing activation and deactivation, some new features and Jetpack is maturing. It’s worth checking out some of the modules as it’s an efficient way to reduce the number of plugins your site is running.

I’m looking forward to learning about the Site Verification Tools. Here’s what Jetpack has to say about it:

Verifying your site ownership with services like Google, Microsoft’s Bing, and Pinterest can be an experience in frustration. Jetpack 3.0 adds a Site Verification Tools module – just register with any of the available services (links are provided on the feature’s configuration page), drop in the provided key, and presto! Site ownership verified. Read more about it!
