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.
