I took a test drive with WordPress 3.0 today. I installed it on my server, set up the Network capability, and took a shot at creating a couple test blog sites with the install. So far, so good. I also tried out the child theme feature recommended for theme customizations. That element also seems to be working fairly well.

After tweaking the CSS for the test “child” theme by mocking up a recreation of my main website, I’m now contemplating a wholesale adoption of WordPress for my entire website. I’m a little nervous about such a move, though I can easily see how it makes sense.

I have yet to push enough 3.0 buttons to decide if I really want to go “all in” on WordPress as a CMS for my site.  My current design is pretty tired, having been written back in 2007 and 2008.  If I’m actually going to write a new CSS for my site, I might as well consider doing it in WordPress. Hmm.
