I haven’t been visible around the Garden lately, but I’ve busy behind the scenes, readying and upgrading all my WordPress themes for 2.7, and working on a new, magazine style theme.
Daisy Gray has been released and can be downloaded at WordPress.org. This was submitted right before the 2.7 release, but will work with 2.7 if you don’t use threaded comments. If you do, wait for the 2.7 version (coming tonight or tomorrow).
I’ll also be releasing a very nice magazine-style theme very soon, with a dramatic black and white theme and plenty of ad real estate in the wide, tabbed sidebar. I’m working out the kinks now, and should be ready to release by the end of the week!
We had our fill of winter these past weeks! Cold, nasty weather makes me cold and unproductive – so I’ve fallen behind in updates. But it’s warming (and drying) up in the next couple of weeks here in Oregon, so keep an eye out, I’ll be catching up very soon!
Last but certainly not least – the long-awaited release of version 4 of SimplePress, an extraordinary forum plugin for WordPRess, is here! I’ve not yet upgraded, but will be doing that soon, and whipping out a few base forum templates to match with my existing WordPress themes. Go ahead and download SimplePress, install it and start playing around with it. You will love the way it seamlessly integrates with WordPress, with no hacking required on your part, beyond a few style declarations if you should like.
And how could I forget? I wish all of you a joyous and prosperous New Year!
