Desk Mess Mirrored 1.4.2

Edward Caissie — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:46:08 +0000

I uploaded the latest version of Desk Mess Mirrored to WordPress.org a little while ago. There were a few minor CSS items that needed to be addressed and a little thing in the ‘comments.php’ template that was bothering me. One of the many great things about designing and publishing your own themes is the opportunities to tweak them as you see fit.

Although I do my best to take into account the close to 12,000 downloads of the theme to date, I rarely make any really dramatic changes unless there are very good reasons, such as implementing threaded comments, and to a lesser degree sticky posts.

Following is the latest changelog:

Changelog (as of Oct 17, 2009)

-- Version 1.4.2
	- CSS (new): added 'dl.gallery-item {margin: 0;}' as pointed out by Andy Fragen of http://troop262ps.org/
	- CSS (edit): #comments -> 'padding: 24px 0 0 40px;' to 'padding: 30px 0 0 30px;'
	- CSS (new): added '.page ol', '.page ul', and '.page li' elements
	- comments.php (line 40) -> changed 'One Comment' to '1 Comment'

More often than not you will now find a detailed listing of changes between versions on the Desk Mess Mirrored theme as most modifications are very minor. Please feel free to contact us, or leave a comment, if you have any specific questions or concerns with a particular change and how it will affect your WordPress blog.

(NB: Desk Mess Mirrored version 1.4.2 is live at WordPress.org as of Oct 19, 2009.)
