VectorLover 2 — Initial Release

As pre­vi­ously men­tioned, I’ve been work­ing on updat­ing and cus­tomiz­ing the Vec­torLover Word­Press theme to include some of Word­Press 2.7’s new fea­tures and to inte­grate with cer­tain Word­Press plu­g­ins which I like. This evening I’m happy to announce the ini­tial release of Vec­torLover 2.

Fea­tures

  • Threaded com­ments with quick reply links.
  • Inte­grated plu­gin sup­port for: Now-Reading, FAl­bum, Tweet­backs, wpLi­cense
  • Cus­tom login page
  • Added a new default Gra­vatar image to list of options under Set­tings -> Dis­cus­sion in WordPress’s admin backend.
  • hCard micro­for­mat­ting to both post & com­ment authors.
  • A stylesheet to remove unnec­es­sary ele­ments from printed pages.
  • Changed page titles to dis­play as “Post­Ti­tle « Blog­Name” vs the pre­vi­ous “Blog­Name » Post­Ti­tle” for bet­ter SEO
  • Wrapped posts in a DIV with post_class() to add sup­port for fancier styling on posts.

Spe­cial Thanks

This release would not have been pos­si­ble with­out Erwin Aligam — who designed the ini­tial theme, Theme­Lab — who ported the design to Word­Press, fam­fam­fam — designed some wicked-nice icons or any of these sites: WPEngineer.com, TheEnglishGuy.co.uk, OttoDestruct.com and Sivel.net — all of whom pro­vided valu­able infor­ma­tion while I was work­ing on this release.
