StudioPress has released a new theme that takes advantage of WordPress 3.1 post types. They consider Tapestry a Tumblog style theme, but I see it as simply a traditional blog theme with the added plus of post types.
I’m not going to delve into what post types are right now, except to say that different kinds of posts can have different formats. A simple example is the quote post type. It doesn’t need a lot of the extra meta data that comes with a full blown post. You’ll see an example here.
I’m testing Tapestry here at www.jeffhester.net and will be experimenting with post types. Stay tuned…
Every time Genesis releases a new child theme, I’m tempted to go download and install it on my own site. Of course this presents a problem because I’m switching and changing and breaking things in the process.
Anyway, pretty neat to see this one in action. I’ve been wanting to use it to replace my current posterous account – I currently use it to post photos from events, and not much else.
