Desk Mess Mirrored 2.0
Desk Mess Mirrored version 2.0 should be showing up in your Dashboard|Updates later today if you have not already seen it. Go ahead, get the new version! It was great to add the new features and better documentation … I know that’s a bit geeky, but there you go.
It’s not so much that 2.0 is any sort of milestone, per se, as I generally follow a similar version numbering system as WordPress; although I must admit there was definitely a push to do something significant because it is a point-zero release after all.
That being said, I added the functionality of some of the core supported post-formats (aside, quote, and status), which was the big push for this release, as well as improving the overall typography.
For a full list of the changes, please have a look at the changelog below.

Hi! I downloaded your template, and it’s amazing!
Really great job, but I’m having a hard time changing the footer information I need to translate it to spanish, how can I do it?
@Andrea – There are at least two potential solutions, create an appropriate language file for Spanish; or, over-ride the `dmm_theme_version` and `dmm_dynamic_copyright` functions in a Child-Theme of Desk Mess Mirrored.
This is the fist blog i have ever done and im using your template and its great, respect to you
@Steve – Thank you for the compliment, it is greatly appreciated … and thanks also for your donation to my coffee fund!
@Ed – your welcome. One question, i have a translator on my site, it there anyway to get the flag to be in the middle of the box if you follom. Stevo
@Steve – You will likely need to add some CSS, either to the plugin or the theme; both should work but both will also be over-written with the next update of whichever you choose to modify.
One possible solution is to create a Child-Theme to preserve your modifications. That being said, look at adding the following CSS:
.transposh_flags, #tr_credit { text-align: center; }I believe that will sort out the issue; and, if you need more details on Child-Themes have a look at this article I wrote: http://wpfirstaid.com/2011/04/wordpress-child-themes/
@Ed – well i will see what i can do but I think your way over my level. I only started using WP 2 weeks ago, i read, then i do, i read then i do and thats how i go lol. Stevo
Steve´s last post … !!! Time to move to the UK !!!!
@Steve – Try the WPFirstAid link, it was written with the new user in mind; and, presented to the Toronto WordPress Meetup group a while back, too. It was well received by the new users in attendance.
Sorry for the very noob question but I am a beginner. I noticed that you widgets fill up the available are for the widget but mine do not. Is there some setting I need to change or code I should alter to get the same effect as you? Great job by the way! I have looked at several hundred themes across various sources and yours is truly unique. Best to you!
I figured it out. Once again, great theme!
Cheers!

@Jesse – Thanks, and well done!
Your widgets fill up the available are for the widget but mine do not. Is there some setting I need to change.
@Kate – I’m not certain what it is you are asking; and, since you are not using Desk Mess Mirrored or one of my other themes I’m also not certain what you are expecting, too.
