erhaps you ve never had to work with DirectX, at least to your knowledge, in previous versions of Windows. Perhaps your familiarity with DirectX ends at the information bar that displays in Internet Explorer informing you that you need to download Microsoft DirectX in order to properly view your Web page. Let s take a few minutes to discuss, or perhaps refresh your memory, as to what DirectX is and what it does. Microsoft DirectX has been around since 1995. DirectX is a bundle of application programming interfaces (APIs) that are used to manage multimedia and game applications. It contains a number of Component Object Model (COM) components that each handle various aspects of your multimedia and gaming experience. Currently, Microsoft DirectX has eight components. Dynamic link libraries, better known as DLLs, are literally libraries of data or executables that are used by Windows-based applications in order to run. For example, if you install an application for Windows, and you open its folder in the Windows Explorer, you may notice a number of files with a DLL extension. Each DLL file is critical; removing just a single file could very well take down the entire application and cause it to no longer work. Back to DirectX 10, the collection of APIs used to comprise DirectX 10 depends on DLLs to execute applications. These DLLs are new and improved, literally, for DirectX 10, and users will notice the huge difference in gaming performance. Applications depending on DirectX 10 will also run much quicker and much more smoothly as a result of these new DLLs.

A third use for WordPress, among many possibilities, is to use it in a similar way to Tumblr (http://tumblr.com). Tumblr set a precedent as a quick blog, also known as a Tumble blog. Tumble blogs generally have a quick access point, whether via a browser extension or a link known as a bookmarklet, that enables users to submit content to their blogs without having to load up an entire blog platform.
