This promises to be a busy week for Ode

A new forum for Ode at the start of what promises to be a busy week.

I'm just about done with a new release (r1.1). In addition to correcting some typos and other minor 'cometic' issues in the annotated source, this new version of the script corrects a problem with dated themes and the site_look_date mechanism. It also improves navigation with support for request and post oriented breadcrumb trails, and a minor change to next and previous page links.

I also expect to release at least one, new theme (and maybe as many as three). The first, 'textpage', is a one column theme great for reading lengthier posts. (It also nice for printing.) Of course it's also a decent starting point for anyone looking to design their own one column layout.

I'm also hoping to make available the first few of the addins I'm working on.

Last but not least, there's a new discussion forum for Ode at ode-is-simple.com/vanilla2_forum. The forum software is Vanilla, which I've chosen because it at least wants to be straightforward.

!--jump--!

Currently there are no discussions posted, but I have defined some initial categories. Feel free to take a look. If you do have an interest in this project I recommend that you register as a member. Registration requires that submit only: an email address, which is used to login, a name, and a password. Also, gender for some reason. (I couldn't tell you why.) That and a captcha and you're in.

I hope to see at least a few of you there.
