Check out the beautiful iNove theme for WordPress, desgined by mg12.

After a long period of waiting, WordPress 2.7 is here, and I couldn’t be more happy. After just 10 minutes, I’ve fallen back in love with WordPress, it’s completely rejuvinated the entire system. Anyway, lets take a look at some of the awesome features and changes which have arrived for us:

The Dashboard

The new dashboard is like a work of art. The “Right Now” section is perfect, highlighting all the info which was previously slapped in a single line of letters, words and other mumble jumble. The Quickpress feature I have yet to use, but I can see it being immensely useful in the future, especially for our individual resources. The rest of the content is pretty standard fare, but it’s all organized well and you can drag bits around.

The Write Page/Edit Template Page

It’s wider! Finally, a large area to edit content, content is, once again, king. It generally makes writing easier, and the right sidebar has all the info you really need to create a post. Below the writing area is the less-used stuff, custom fields, custom excerpt, trackbacks and so on.

Smashing Magazine have done it again by sponsoring and launching yet another wonderful WordPress theme dubbed Simply Ornate. It was designed by one Evan Eckard and sports patterns from his own pattern-loving site, DinPattern. The design is a combination of delacate intracacy with wonderful simplicity.
