AutoFocus+ Now Available April 30, 2010

AutoFocus+

A new and vastly improved version of AutoFocus is now available at my professional design & devleopment site fthrwght.com.

Here’s a brief description:

In short, AutoFocus+ is a clean and simple WordPress theme developed for photographers looking to showcase their work. A slight departure from the original verision, AutoFocus+ takes things a bit further by providing stronger markup, better browser support, and Theme options that enable you to customize various elements of the theme without ever touching code. I’ve also ported over the back-end to Thematic, one of (if not) the strongest WordPress theming frameworks to date. That means AutoFocus+ and Thematic come together to make for a pretty slick theme that can be used for almost any type of site. There’s both a Free version and a Pro version($15) available which comes with tons of new and ever developing features.

Speaking of  features, here’s a few notable ones:

  1. 5 widgetized sidebar areas.
  2. Fully configurable color options through an admin options page.
  3. An optional EXIF data display.
  4. An optional Featured Posts section which pulls “sticky” posts and displays them front and center.
  5. Much improved CSS styles for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, & Internet Explorer (including the dreaded IE6!).
  6. An admin configurable logo option (Pro Version only).
  7. A per-post sliding Gallery (Pro Version only).
  8. And tons more…

I hope you like it!

RE: Comments December 23, 2009

First: Sorry I’ve been so flakey with the comments here. For a number of reasons, I haven’t been able to go through and personally address support & help questions like I had been doing when I started this blog.

Second: I’ll be moving the majority of my WordPress theme related work to fthrwght.com. As you may or may not have noticed some of my more recent themes have been popping up over there anyway.The plan is to have this up and running some time in the first quarter of 2010.

Third: fthrwght.com will have a support forum to more readily handle bug reporting and theming questions. The commenting system used here will no longer be used.

That’s pretty much it. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday. See you n 2010!

Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin October 29, 2009

This plugin will save your life! If your are using, Neutica, Neutica+ or really any theme that uses custom thumbnail image sizes, this plugin will be ESSENTIAL to you. It deletes your old thumbnails, and generates new ones based on your settings. This way you can easily switch to a new theme and upgrade your thumbnails to match. I’m amazed i’m only finding out about it now. (Thanks Rob!)
