Wordpress won’t actually stop! Nice upgrades in 2.6
Theme previews, default avatars, a gallery, bulk actions on plugins… Good goin WP! I think they’ve left Blogger far behind.
But I hate upgrading. Maybe I’ll wait till the final release. Probably I’ll try it on my test blog till then.
yup thats what i am doing
Nice upgrades, they really do a great job.
Hey Syed, I tried Areebu theme from one of your posts. I’m not sure what I did wrong, I uploaded the theme and when I try to vision it, it’s as if my wordpress 2.5.1 was not a good version…everything seems to be in the wrong place.
Is there anything special to do prior to upload the theme?
hmm not really. I think it should work fine.
My bad, it was Firefox 3.0 cache…
I feel like an idiot…anyways thanks for this template. I will explore and upgrade very soon.
I am going to wait first,I don’t want any more problem upgrading wordpress.
