I went to the Themes and it said &#8220;The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.&#8221; I had the default WordPress 2.X theme which has changed in WordPress 3.X. Going to Themes automatically fixed it. WordPress 3.0 now up and running and my first blog using it.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts about WordPress 3<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I really like the default theme. The header image is quite nice, and there are a few other header images that come with the default. See -&gt; Appearance -&gt; Header.<\/li>\n<li>Overall the Admin Interface is pretty much the same as with WordPress 2.X. This is great as it means that people won&#8217;t have to learn a new interface to manage their WordPress 3 blog or website.<\/li>\n<li>There are some very nice features. E.g. WordPress MU, Custom Post types, Taxonomies and a new Menu\/Nav Management tool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kudos to WordPress for a great release.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT: To update from 3.0 to 3.0.1 etc do:<\/p>\n<pre>#svn sw <a href=\"http:\/\/core.svn.wordpress.org\/tags\/3.0.1\/\">http:\/\/core.svn.wordpress.org\/tags\/3.0.1\/<\/a> .<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve my WordPress installed using SVN, and it was easy to upgrade WordPress 2.x to 3.
