I have a week and a half off from work and I’m planning on a couple projects to improve MotherTheme and add more features.

• Add threaded comments to MotherTheme: MotherTheme works with Wp 2.7, but without an upgrade to the code, the threaded comment feature of Wp 2.7 won’t ve there. So I’m working on that …
• Add a form feature: I’ve been getting requests to add a form to MotherTheme so users would not have to sign up for a separate service to create a contact form.
• Some cleanup of font and colors: OK, 2 reasons for this … one is that I noticed a couple clashing things in MotherTheme that I want to clean up. Another, is that recently my laptop harddrive died. Yes you can tell me all you want that I should always back up … but I didn’t. So I had to recreate some of the graphics of MotherTheme. And while doing this, of course the creative juices start to flow

That’s it for now, again, may you have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year’s in case I don’t write again.

NOTE: Skins are no longer a part of MotherTheme since the new version of WordPress supports parent/child themes.

First, the changes to MotherTheme are the addition of a couple skins that will change your site into a magazine, newspaper site, or media site. It seems most people are interested in those kinds of websites, and I’m sure you are no different. However, if you are different, and need something else, then let me know and I will add your request to the skins list.

A different skin is easy to install and does not rupture the custom work you have done to your site, as long as you have MotherTheme.

If you DON’T have MotherTheme, then get it as soon as you can. Start customizing your site and enjoy an occasional change to the look of your website without massive breakage in your features and content.

The work I’m planning on MotherTheme is simply to make it simpler. Easier to change skins, easier to customize skins, etc.

I’m also looking around for the top plugins to partner with or recommend to you as you upgrade your blog.

Well, that’s all I got for you now, but if there is one thing I have to say, it’s get MotherTheme as soon as you can.
