It’s been three months since I posted the Connections Reloaded 2 Roadmap and I must confess that I haven’t done much development on it since there. I guess you won’t really blame me because my day job has kept me so busy that I have had little personal life but for a few occasions. Additionally the impetus to devote additional time for developing hasn’t been really strong. I have been doing a lot of thinking behind the scenes. Connections Reloaded has become really famous with around 2500 downloads at the time of this post and that too only from this site. Additionally it works perfectly with WordPress 1.5.x and 2.x.…
Connections Reloaded crosses 2000 downloads!
Just two months after Connections Reloaded crossed 1000 downloads, it has crossed the 2000 download mark, i.e. around 500 downloads a month 🙂 I’m shocked, pleased and extremely excited. Not to mention also charged up to work harder on the next version of Connections Reloaded. Thanks once again to the users of my team, and many more thanks to those who have donated. Do keep your suggestions and comments coming and donations (for those who would like to) are more than welcome 🙂
Connections Reloaded and WordPress 2.0
WordPress 2.0 has been released today. As far as I am aware, Connections Reloaded functions perfectly on WordPress 2.0 as can be observed on my Demo Blog. However, if you find any problems please do comment here.
Connections Reloaded 1.2.2 released
Connections Reloaded 1.2.2 is now out. It comes with a few fixes and changes as follows: Fixed a bug that caused comments on password protected posts to remain hidden even after entering the password. File modified: comments.php Replaced Google Reader with Add to Google button under Subscriptions. File Modified: sidebar.php Removed code of a plugin from index.php. It wouldn’t cause your site to break, but it wasn’t required. Removed all target="_blank" attributes from the code files. Footer text modified. File Modified: footer.php Removed Firefox button from the sidebar. If you like the theme and are using it, please donate something for my work. The amount is blank so feel free…
WordPress Theme Toolkit for Connections Reloaded??
I have been pondering over adding an admin menu to Connections Reloaded for quite a while now. Stumbled upon WordPress Theme Toolkit today, and it seems really cool to add to the theme. Will probably save a lot of my time to use it as opposed to designing from scratch. Will see how this works out.
Connections Reloaded 2.0 Roadmap
Have been meaning to post a roadmap for Connections Reloaded 2.0 for a while so here it is: For those unaware, Connections Reloaded is my theme for WordPress 1.5.x onwards. Connections Reloaded has come a long way from when I decided to shift from Spirit to Connections and I found Connections fabulous looking but wanting with respect to functionality. Then came a slow but steady learning of how to design WordPress themes. I released Connections Reloaded on 16 June 2005 and it has crossed 1000 downloads (tracked from 4th July 2005). It currently stands on v1.2.1.
Connections Reloaded crosses 1000 downloads!
Am totally thrilled and happy to say that my theme Connections Reloaded has crossed 1000 downloads since 4th July 2005 (from when I actually started tracking downloads). This is excluding those during the period from June 16 to July 3 as well as those from other sites like WordPress Themes Viewer. Thanks to all those who contributed in making this theme a success in such a short duration. And thanks to all of you have downloaded and powered your WordPress blogs with my theme. Stay tuned as I have a few plans in the new version of Connections Reloaded. Keep your suggestions and comments coming and donations (for those who…
Demo Blog launched
Have created a demo blog powered by the latest release of v1.6 of WordPress. I have set it to autoupdate every day from the svn repository of WordPress. The main purpose of the blog is to test out my themes, plugins and hacks. Besides these, I will also be putting other plugins, hacks and themes to the test. Consider it to be a mini sandbox. I have user registrations open on that blog. If you are an author and would like to have your themes or plugins tested, please contact me. View the Demo Blog now >>

Connections Reloaded 1.2 released
Just released v1.2 of my theme Connections Reloaded. 1.2 comes as a major update with a lot of additions as follows: I have added Links and Pages to the sidebar. Links displays only on the homepage while Pages displays all throughout. Currently only top level pages are displayed. You will need to edit the sidebar.php to display daughter level. Version info is not added to the footer. Easy for keeping track. Display of nested categories in the sidebar has been fixed Have added buttons under subscription for Feedster, Spurl, Furl, Newsburst, Rojo and Pluck. If anyone knows the button for adding to Google Reader, please let me know. All images…
