Not much to say… but more themes are coming!

Test out any theme

April 8th, 2008

I know that some of our bloggers want to try out new themes or switch to another design.

Here’s a new feature that should make this easier for you: “Theme Test Drive”. It lets you set a new theme that you (the blog admin) can preview, but the public won’t see the changes until you set the theme for the public under the Presentation->Themes page. In other words, it lets you “test drive” different themes without subjecting your users to the same experiment. EDIT: newer versions of WordPress have a built-in theme preview feature that you can use right on the Appearance/Themes control panel.

At the same time, I’ve added a new theme called “Tech Blue”.

New version coming

April 7th, 2008

The 1.5 version of WordPress , which powers PersonalLog, will be released not long from now.

When it comes, we will — of course — be upgrading, which will provide users with a very nicely-styled admin backend. There will also be additional functionality. For more information, read posts tagged “WordPress” on Geekie.org.
