<p>Hopefully, I&#8217;ll get some more themes and stuff released.  I&#8217;ve also got a couple of widget related plugins that I&#8217;ve written that I&#8217;m considering releasing, but haven&#8217;t made a decision yet since they really serve no real purpose, except visually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve upgraded numerous plugins recently and not had an issue.  However, this morning I was attempting to upgrade cforms and a few of Lester Chan&#8217;s plugins and they failed.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I also discovered that when the automatic plugin upgrade fails, it removes the plugin completely from the list of available plugins&#8230;.and also deletes the directory.  Now this obviously wouldn&#8217;t have been an issue if the plugin upgrade hadn&#8217;t failed, but since it did, it means that now I&#8217;ve got to manually download the plugin, and then ftp it to my server.</p>
<p>If this is going to be a major issue with automatic plugin upgrades, then I may just stop using the automatic upgrade feature altogether.  Could it be that the plugins themselves are not setup properly for automatic upgrade?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been testing this theme for some time and I feel that it is now ready for release.  It&#8217;s a two column minimalistic theme with the sidebar on the right.  The sidebar is the perfect width to place two 125&#215;125 ads side-by-side.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://wpmania.com/wp-content/themes/blogit750/screenshot.png" alt="Blog It 750 Theme Screenshot" /></div>
<p>The class for aligning pictures is &#8220;left&#8221; or &#8220;right&#8221; depending on what you want. If you&#8217;re looking to place it in the center like above, then wrap the image tag in a </p>
<pre><code>&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
<p>or add a center class to style.css.  It&#8217;s up to you how you want to handle that.</p>
<p>As for typography, here&#8217;s a sample:</p>
<h1>This is the H1 tag</h1>
<p></p>
<h2>This is the H2 tag</h2>
<p></p>
<h3>This is the H3 tag</h3>
<p></p>
<h4>This is the H4 tag</h4>
<p></p>
<h5>This is the H5 tag</h5>
<p></p>
<h6>And Finally H6 tag</h6>
<p></p>
<p>The margins and padding are set to 0 (zero) for each of these, so if you use them make sure that you also include a line break (< br />) after you use them to allow for proper spacing.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the download link:  <strong><a href="http://wpmania.com/downloads/blogit750.zip" title="Blog It 750 Theme">Blog It 750</a></strong></p>
<p>Of course, if you like black instead of white, we have that too:</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://wpmania.com/wp-content/themes/blogit750black/screenshot.png" alt="Blog It 750 Black Theme Screenshot" /></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s the download link:  <strong><a href="http://wpmania.com/downloads/blogit750black.zip" title="Blog It 750 Black Theme">Blog It 750 Black</a></strong></p>
<p>Or perhaps you like black and red instead:</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://wpmania.com/wp-content/themes/blogit750blackred/screenshot.png" alt="Blog It 750 Black and Red Theme Screenshot" /></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s the download link:  <strong><a href="http://wpmania.com/downloads/blogit750blackred.zip" title="Blog It 750 Black and Red Theme">Blog It 750 Black and Red</a></strong></p>
<p>These are, of course, released under the GPL.  I would appreciate it if you kept the link in the footer though.  Have fun with them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t found out by now, WordPress 2.5 has been released.  It includes a bunch of new stuff in the admin area including, automatic upgrades for plugins, media gallery, upload music, pics, and video, and tons of other changes.  You can read more about the features in WordPress 2.5 <a title="WordPress 2.5 Brecker" href="http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been testing the plugin upgrade functionality, and I have to say that it works just fine.  I&#8217;ve upgraded 5 sites to WordPress 2.5 in the last hour and upgraded every plugin that needed it.  No problems here.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be going through my themes to make sure that all everything works ok, but so far on my test server, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any issues.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t upgraded yet, then head on over to <a title="WordPress.org" href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress.org</a> and do so.  You won&#8217;t regret it.</p>
