BNS Featured Tag 1.5

Edward Caissie — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:36:10 +0000

I just uploaded a short while ago the most recent update to the WordPress plugin BNS Featured Tag now at version 1.5.

Here is the recent changelog:

== Changelog ==

= 1.5 =
* added option to set the quantity of the first words of the post to display instead of the default excerpt.
* modified description to reflect new functionality
* slightly increased the size of option panel to better display controls

BNS Featured Tag functions essentially the same as BNS Featured Category. There are a few minor code differences, and the obvious tag versus category selectors. It is usually just a matter of clearing my schedule enough to update the code of one after adding the new functionality to the other. This time it took a few days … busy is good.

New WordPress Theme: NoNa 1.0 Live

Edward Caissie — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:54:00 +0000

The hard working folk on the WordPress Themes team have sent me another email:

Congratulations, your new theme Nona is now available to the public at .

I still think this is one of the better things to read in my inbox.

NoNa is the direct replacement for Pinup Meets Grunge and will be carried forward as such. Here is the description from style.css:

Missing the pretty pin-up girl posing in the header, this grunge based theme originally known as Pinup Meets Grunge beautifully blends user option enabled background colors. This built-in option gives you the creative opportunity to truly make this theme your own. Do not be scared off by the dark look, try installing your own copy and playing with the background color changing option yourself. Remember, if you are not a fan of “blank” headers feel free to drop us a note and we can discuss additional options.

Although we are disappointed Pinup Meets Grunge is no longer available at WordPress.org we can only hope a grassroots campaign will spring up with everyone writing to themes@wordpress.org asking them to remove the suspended status from Pinup Meets Grunge.
