WordPress 3.0 with Twenty Ten Default Theme

Twenty Ten 0.7 comes with WordPress 3.0

I just download and install alpha version of WordPress Version 3.0. At a glance, there are no major changes that I can see. After installation process that run as simple as usual, I walk through menus in the Dashboard and found a new sub-menu named “Network” under the Tools menu. As I have heard before that in version 3.0 WordPress would be integrated with WordPress MU with Multi-Site feature. It’s mean that you can multiply your site easily without Installing WordPress MU.

Navigate other menus, there is nothing striking until my mouse clicked on the “Appearance”. There seems to be a new stuff. The new default theme entitled “Twenty Ten 0.7 by the WordPress team“, cool.  There’s a new atmosphere in my WordPress instead of seeing Kubrick theme for several years.

My curiosity led to Theme Editor that may also have some changes there. A little difference with previous version in the lists of the theme file name. The file title and file name are separated into two lines. Look quite neater.

At the bottom of file lists, there is a new stylesheet file named “editor-style.css“. I hope my guess’ right, it is the css style file to be used in editor page when I write or edit a post. I think it will be useful for those who create a new post from the dashboard, but not for me who prefer to write using Windows Live Writer.

That’s my story when testing WordPress 3.0 alpha — development version (3.0-alpha)– which may a lot of changes will be added  until the final version released.
