So I spent an idle Sunday afternoon fiddling around with the various ins and outs of the latest WordPress 3.0 trunk build. One of the things I really wanted to figure out was the incorporation of the Woothemes Custom Menu Navigation.
Custom menu navigation in WordPress 3.0
(Okay, so I’m showing off my Linux Mint 8 desktop as well–deal with it)
By adding this the following snippet of code to the new default “2010″ theme’s “functions.php” file I was able to add those rather neat drop down menus to the main menu bar under the header image.
add_theme_support( 'nav-menus' );
I went a bit overboard and added the blog roll as well but what the heck–I was on a roll.
Seems that WordPress 3.0 is going to set a new standard for CMS/Blogging platforms all over again. I like it–a lot!

The beauty of having a WordPress test site like this one is that I can take all sorts of chances that I wouldn’t regularly take with my main site. Like running it on WordPress 3.0 Alpha for example. Which it is, by the way.
To show how dangerous this would be if I had been foolish enough to actually upgrade my main site to an alpha build of the up and coming WordPress 3.0 is this new version isn’t up to to the alpha 1 stage yet. I mean there’s still a few major features to incorporate.
Oog, talk about cutting edge here.
With that said, I’m rather surprised as to how this in-utero WordPress 3.0 is running so far. And all my usual plugins, at first glance, seem to working without a problem. Even the error logs are clear, fer crissakes.
And here I was, hoping for some major weirdness. I must be patient–weirdness will come.
Edit: And on top of everything else, like the lack of any major weirdness, the WordPress developers have obviously decided to make the theme that I use on my main site (Kirby) the default theme in WordPress 3.0 (2010). At least there’s some fairly nice built in header images I can choose from.
Welcome to Outdated. This is going to be a test site for now until the point when I decide to use it for anything else. So if you were looking for something more entertaining then you might want to head over to here, here, here or here. I guarantee you’ll find something to read. 
I’ll be back. (now where have I heard that before?)
