We have updated Faculty Websites to the latest version of WordPress 4.8.1. It is the latest major release and brings some new improvements.
New Media Widgets
Image Widget
Visual Editor in Text Widget
The earlier versions of the Text widget were just a plain text area. If you wanted to format the text, you needed to use HTML. Now with 4.8, you have basic formatting like Bold, Italic, Add Link, Bullet Lists, and Numbered Lists. You can still switch to the text editor to add HTML manually.
