WordPress.com Retiring PressRow for Pilcrow

The WordPress.com theme team will be retiring the sorely out of date PressRow theme in favor of the new Pilcrow theme. The new Pilcrow theme is incredibly similar in style to PressRow, but supports all WordPress 3 feature, like custom menus and featured images, and boasts six layout configurations and four color schemes. Those of you who use Custom CSS along with the PressRow theme, may be interested in this very short list of CSS differences in Pilcrow. PressRow will be officially phased out next week, but Pilcrow is available in the Appearance section of your WordPress.com blog’s Dashboard if you’d like to switch to it or try it out before that happens. Pilcrow will soon be available to self-hosted WordPress users via the official theme directory. Are you a PressRow user? What do you think of the new Pilcrow theme?
