WordPress 3.0 Has Arrived

And Organic Themes has updated all of our themes for this exciting new release! Most people familiar with the WordPress platform have been eagerly awaiting the release of version 3.0 since its announcement. WordPress has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a simple blogging platform. With the release of 3.0, the platform has evolved in to an even better user friendly content management system. So if you still think of WordPress as only a blogging solution, think again. There are too many improvements with the latest release to mention all of them, but here are a few that we are very excited about:

Custom Menu Management

Now you can easily manage your menu directly within the WordPress admin. Pages, categories and external links can be added to the menu and organized with ease in a drag and drop fashion.

Custom Backgrounds

Changing the background of your site has never been easier. Simply select a background color from the color wheel, or upload your own image for a new background within seconds.

Custom Header

While Organic Themes already included this feature in our premium themes, it’s now integrated seamlessly in to the platform. Making it even easier to replace your logo.

“Taking advantage of these new options will require a theme that supports WordPress 3.0. Lucky for you, ALL Organic Themes have been integrated with new WordPress 3.0 features.”

In addition, we have tweaked our existing themes even further — making several improvements. And if you’re still using version 2.9, don’t worry. Our themes are backwards compatible with WordPress 2.9. If you’ve already purchased an older version of our themes, newer version can be found on our support forums. Listed below are a few additions to each of our themes:
