As you probably already know, WordPress has announced it’s third release candidate for version 3.2, while the actual release is being delayed for a few days. You might be familiar with some of the new features coming up in 3.2, but we have a dedicated blog post for that lined up. This post is about the new default theme in WordPress 3.2 — Twenty Eleven.

This is the second year in a row that WordPress is changing their default theme, which is a good trend and we’re obviously hoping to see Twenty Twelve next year ;) In this post I’ll give you a short intro to the Twenty Eleven theme and the functionality it provides. We’ll talk a little bit about post formats, layouts, color schemes and the theme options. We’ll then dive into the code of Twenty Eleven and see how the theme development guidelines have changed since last year’s Twenty Ten. Permalink
