Is your WordPress Theme ready for 2.7?

WordPress 2.7 will fundamentally change the way you blog. It’s not only the backend with a left sidebar and many new extra functions, it also concerns the way you interact with your readers. Discussions are much easier due to the new comment function ‘threaded/nested comments’. You can now respond directly to a users comment and your answer will appear right under it – no matter how many comments were written since. This gives you an even better way of moderating your ‘group’ than you’d have as a forum webmaster! I’ve tested the release candidate of WP 2.7 and have to say: I love it – no matter how big the changes are.

But – and here we reach the thin air – your Theme has to support this new function. That means special javascript calls and new wordpress tags. To maintain backward compatibility, your theme designer should be experienced in keeping up with WordPress upgrades.

I suppose that you’ll find few themes that do the 2.7 job – as AEROS does (PREVIEW). Feel free to read more or download it here!
