Version 1.1 has been updated to the WordPress.com version.

This version no longer contains automatic image framing, or a photoblog template, so if you wish to continue using these features, please use version 1.0.3.

Changes:

  • Layout updates and fixes
  • Fixed deprecated function calls and PHP errors
  • Code cleanup to match WordPress theme style guide: spacing, syntax, comments, package description
  • Added author comment highlighting
  • Added support for empty post title and styles for all heading sizes
  • Fixed bugs with theme options menus
  • Simplified custom functions and removed unneeded theme options
  • Remove custom header image support and use default WP header image functionality instead
  • Added image.php template
  • Added RTL language support
  • Changed post timestamp to use the WordPress global date format
  • Remove unused template files
  • Implement WordPress 3.0 features: Custom Menu, comment_form()
  • Added default WP style support: body_class(), post_class(), comment_class() and remove unneeded definition for EG_BODY_CLASS
  • Removed unneeded function_exists() calls
  • Simplified image display: no frames or photoblog page
  • Nicer typography and updated grunge images for sticky posts, trackbacks, and new date format
  • Styles for sticky posts
  • Added newer/older single post navigation links
  • Better class attributes to avoid collision with WP default classes (author, post, date, etc)
  • Remove sidebar logic check in every template (once in sidebar.php instead)

Note: If you have problems with this theme, please post your question at the WordPress forums. Please don’t contact me directly, as I don’t have the resources to help you.
