One Point Four

Version 1.4 of the Morning After theme is now available. New features include (optional) automatic thumbnail generation, Gravatar support, threaded comments (screenshot), and support for WordPress’s in-built image wrapping classes and image galleries (screenshot one, screenshot two). Also included are a number of minor design-related tweaks and general cleaning up of things.

The theme will no longer be hosted at Google Code. The new home of the theme is at: http://themasterplan.in/tma/

As of version 1.4, the theme is now published under a Creative Commons License (Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike). Just to clarify what is implied by non-commercial use: you are not allowed to sell the theme or any derived works. You are, however, free to use the theme for commercial web sites.

I was going to include localisation in this version as well, but progress with that is still a bit sketchy. I will continue work on it, though, and as soon as I’m satisfied with the results, I’ll release a proper localised version of the theme.

That’s that, then. Hope you enjoy this version of the theme. Feel free to post your comments, etc. here.

Crossroads

2008 didn’t start very well for me, to say the least. This year has, so far, mostly been about dealing with change and trying to move on. Naivety and morality are gradually being obscured and edged out by cynicism and Real Life. I’ve had quite a bit of growing up to do in a relatively short time span.

Now is as good a time as any for a fresh start. I’m going back to college after having dropped out close to four years ago. I’ve already been accepted into a good college and will be pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree. I’ve picked biochemistry as my major. Classes begin on Monday. Bit scared apprehensive, actually. Don’t quite know what to expect.

I will not be taking on any web design/programming work for the next year or so. I will be writing here quite regularly, and I will, of course, be doing a lot of stuff with Split. I will also, as time permits, continue to maintain and work on the Morning After theme for WordPress (a “clean, mean, magazine-style machine”, apparently).

I’m interested in taking on the occasional freelance writing project, so if you have anything in mind, please feel free to get in touch.

Here’s looking forward to the near future. Hard work. Perseverance. Realistic expectations. And lots of deep breaths. Wish me luck!
