I liked my old theme, but I LOVE the custom menu function in WordPress 3.0, as demonstrated in the navigation bar across the top, below the header.  Hover over “Find Me on the Web” and you’ll see what I mean.  You can use pages, links, or categories to make your custom menu.  Very cool.

I did away with the separate “Politics Page” and will be including those posts on the main blog.  I decided that I don’t want to focus so much on atheism and religion, so I might as well just keep all topics on the front page.

While I was at it, I cleaned up the categories a bit.  When I first started this blog, I didn’t want a religion category, so I put religion posts under a “Thoughts & Reflections” category.  Once I added a Religion category, it became redundant.  Some posts were under one or the other and some were under both.

Now, all religion posts are filed under “Religion & Atheism.”  I added atheism to the category name because I don’t like to file atheism posts under “Religion.”

“Thoughts & Reflections” is now called “Random Thoughts” and includes random posts that don’t fit in any of the other categories.

While I miss my old theme, I am very happy with the new features in WordPress 3.0.  I did use the old header and change the links to orange, so it is still reminiscent of the old theme.  Overall, it is definitely a change for the better.
