Hopefully, I’ll get some more themes and stuff released.  I’ve also got a couple of widget related plugins that I’ve written that I’m considering releasing, but haven’t made a decision yet since they really serve no real purpose, except visually.

Unfortunately I also discovered that when the automatic plugin upgrade fails, it removes the plugin completely from the list of available plugins….and also deletes the directory. Now this obviously wouldn’t have been an issue if the plugin upgrade hadn’t failed, but since it did, it means that now I’ve got to manually download the plugin, and then ftp it to my server.

If this is going to be a major issue with automatic plugin upgrades, then I may just stop using the automatic upgrade feature altogether. Could it be that the plugins themselves are not setup properly for automatic upgrade?

Here’s a screenshot:

Here’s the download link: Blog It 750 Dark

Everything is the same as the Blog It 750 theme, except the color. Enjoy!

The class for aligning pictures is “left” or “right” depending on what you want. If you’re looking to place it in the center like above, then wrap the image tag in a

<div align="center"> </div>

or add a center class to style.css. It’s up to you how you want to handle that.

As for typography, here’s a sample:

This is the H1 tag

This is the H2 tag

This is the H3 tag

This is the H4 tag

This is the H5 tag

And Finally H6 tag

The margins and padding are set to 0 (zero) for each of these, so if you use them make sure that you also include a line break (< br />) after you use them to allow for proper spacing.

Here’s the download link: Blog It 750

Of course, if you like black instead of white, we have that too:

Here’s the download link: Blog It 750 Black

Or perhaps you like black and red instead:

Here’s the download link: Blog It 750 Black and Red

These are, of course, released under the GPL. I would appreciate it if you kept the link in the footer though. Have fun with them!

I’ve been testing the plugin upgrade functionality, and I have to say that it works just fine.  I’ve upgraded 5 sites to WordPress 2.5 in the last hour and upgraded every plugin that needed it.  No problems here.

I’ll be going through my themes to make sure that all everything works ok, but so far on my test server, there doesn’t seem to be any issues.

If you haven’t upgraded yet, then head on over to WordPress.org and do so.  You won’t regret it.

The theme for the other site is actually wider than this one and has one more sidebar. I just thought that I would make a version that would fit on a 800×600 screen for kicks.

I don’t have a name for this one since I haven’t decided on whether or not I’m going to release it. Does anyone want to suggest one?

Both have good information, though some of it is repeated.

I’m not a fan of dark themes (my wife is), but I think it looks ok. What do you think?

*UPDATE*
Forgot to mention, for her site, the link color is actually white instead of the dark orange, since she hated the orange.
