Sites @ Lafayette is now using the Twenty-eleven theme, the new default theme for WordPress 3.2. All of the content remains the same.

Sites has been upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. This update includes a number of backend interface tweaks that make WordPress’ administrative interface easier to use. It also introduces the “admin bar”, which is a black bar with administrative functions that appears at the top of your site whenever you are logged in. This bar only appears when you’re logged into the site; regular visitors can’t see it.

The ITS WordPress documentation has been updated to reflect the new version:
