Early Sneak Peat at Twenty Thirteen Theme

Early this week, I saw a tweet from Mark Jaquith, one of the core developers for WordPress about the upcoming Twenty Thirteen theme. He also wrote an article about it - Introducing Twenty Thirteen. By the way, here’s the tweet that I said earlier:

Twenty Thirteen will come with upcoming WordPress 3.6 which will be focusing on Editorial Flow, Auto Save, Post Formats and few other areas that need improvement. You might want to read the official post about the upcoming WordPress 3.6 - What’s Coming Up With WordPress 3.6.

As you can see from the demo page, Twenty Thirteen focuses on Post Format. Each Post Format has different color. In WordPress 3.6, you can also expect a better UI for Post Format.

Here’s some sneak peek for the theme:
