New Wordpress 3.0

Zascar

I just installed it and it's great. Lots of nice new touches - I'm especially liking the new standard theme "Twenty Ten" so much better than the old one!

The new theme is pretty good I agree, customisable enough tbf

Menus are good too. You can manage multiple blogs from the one place which is nice

I'm quite interested in the new 'custom post types' which really opens up Wordpress to be used as a real CMS. Anyone played with them.

They seem a little tricky to setup and use, but potentially very powerful.

There is a Custom Post Type UI plugin that could make it easier (it doesn't work for me - redirects me to login page when I save).

Cool, I'm guessing some cool themes/templates will come out that take advantage of this..

Guys can anyone tell me how to reduce the font size on the TwentyTen theme? I think its a bit too big but cannot work out where to change it. thanks

In /wp-content/themes/twentyten/style.css. For the article body:

#content,
#content input,
#content textarea {
	color: #333;
	[b]font-size: 16px;[/b]
	line-height: 24px;
}

For the post titles:

#content .entry-title {
	color: #000;
	[b]font-size: 21px;[/b]
	line-height: 1.3em;
	font-weight: bold;
	margin-bottom: 0;
}

Thanks for that, much better now

I found an interesting plugin: http://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/wp-random-header/ which lets you have a random selection of images appear in your header each time you refresh. I cannot get it to work though it totally crashed my whole site.
