Wordpress version 2.1.1

Go ahead and update your Wordpress blog. You can’t take a risk by not updating it.

From the Wordpress website:

We’ve got a new bugfix and security release for both of our actively maintained branches of WordPress. Version 2.1.1 includes about 30 bug fixes, mostly minor things around encoding, XML-RPC, the object cache, and HTML code. It’s available for immediate download on our download page.

Version 2.0.9 only includes the security update, which was around the code we use to prevent XSS. You can download it from our release archive. As a reminder, we’ve committed to proving security updates to 2.0 through 2010, but all new features and development are going into the newer branch, which is at this time 2.1.

This is a low-to-medium priority update recommended for all WordPress users. After the break is a list of changed files.

Files changed in 2.1.1 from 2.1:

* wp-includes/post-template.php

* wp-includes/cache.php

* wp-includes/formatting.php

* wp-includes/category.php

* wp-includes/post.php

* wp-includes/version.php

* wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-scriptaculous.js

Valentine’s day

I know that I’m a bit late but this video should not go unnoticed.

Stalingrad theme

Wordpress Stalingrad Theme

Another new theme by Amsterdamn: Stalingrad
It supports widgets and besides that it’s xhtml and css valid.

Download

Test run

Please leave your trackbacks and comments here!

Update:

I have changed the background of the theme. Although I liked the previous one, I believe that this one is much better.

Update 2:

I have been playing around with the code and have been able to reduce it.This means that the theme will be faster to load on your website. Besides that I have also optimized the theme for search engines. This way your website will be better indexed and have a higher ranking. But I also took a look at the design of the theme.

I have edited and adjusted some parts of the design. This way the theme will look even better on your weblog. You can download the updated version of the theme above.

Please note that the screenshot on themes.wordpress.net isn’t the correct one. The one that you see here above is the correct one. We will keep on updating our themes, so be sure to check out this website once in a while.

Amsterdamn enters the Technorati top 1000

One of our goals for Amsterdamn in 2007 was entering the Technorati top 1000. When I wrote that post (6 January) we were somewhere between 1600-1700. But after a month of hard work we finally entered the top 1000. Our new goal is to become one of the 500 most linked to blogs on Technorati. From what I can see that won’t be a problem because we’ve got enough know how to achieve that goal.

Technorati top 1000

Although the Technorati is just an indicator we are happy to see that we have continued to grow in 2007.

Gray Wolf

Gray Wolf is a simple yet powerful theme for Wordpress.
It supports gravatar, wp page navi and widgets. And it’s valid xhtml 1.0 strict

Screenshot:

Demo
Download

You can leave your feedback here.

Update 1:

I changed the way the look of the title. And I also added a description to the top of the theme. Besides that I have centered the menu. Also fixed some minor issues with the colours of the theme.

Update 2:

I had to remove widgets support for the theme because it didn’t work well together with page nav. I will be dropping page nav support in the next release of the theme. But it will have widgets support in return.

Update 3:

Instead of page nav it now has the standard browsing features of Wordpress. Just use the download link above to download the widget friendly version.

Please leave a comment if you have any problems with the Gray Wolf theme. I’m looking forward to fix it. This way we can improve the user experience for you and your visitors.
