New versions of WordPress follow a general pattern: odd numbered releases are mostly back-end upgrades, and even numbered releases carry with them feature additions, front-end upgrades, and changes.
While WordPress 3.7 was focused on a lot of under the hood features, the focus of WordPress 3.8 has been on improving the user interface, meaning a lot of visual features.

You don’t like black? There are eight options for color schemes, so feel free to pick one you like.

If you have a maintenance plan with Umpqua Web Design, we make these types of updates for you. Updates include bug fixes and security vulnerability fixes. We always make a full backup before making major changes just in case anything goes wrong during the update.
