Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
I have finally managed to make all the changes that I needed to do except a couple for version 3.7.4, and I have managed to test almost all the scenarios. However, given that this has been a very tough release to do thanks to my having to adapt to multiple changes in the WP theme […]
Back in September I released Suffusion Version 3.6.6, where I introduced the capability to skin the navigation bars. To do this I added some nifty constructs that would help skin borders, backgrounds etc. Shortly after that some users (albeit a very small percentage) started reporting an inability to save Theme Skinning options. I tried debugging […]
The theme reviewers at WordPress revamped the official list of featured themes earlier this morning … and listed Suffusion as a featured theme! Note that “popular themes” are determined by the number of downloads that users make and the “featured themes” are listed based on a set of more subjective criteria. Till yesterday the list […]
To all users of Suffusion – a BIG THANK YOU!! On 5th December 2010 Suffusion reached 150 ratings on WordPress.org! A couple of months back I had excitedly announced the milestone of 100 ratings, whereby Suffusion became only the 5th theme to reach that landmark. I am happy to announce that Suffusion is now the […]
As the WordPress theme review process gets really strict about what WP functions are permissible in themes and what are not, it becomes more and more difficult for theme developers to support older versions of WordPress.

This is a follow-up to my previous post. I wrote earlier that I was incorporating fluid-width options into Suffusion. Over the past couple of weeks I have managed to work a good bit on this and I am happy to say that I have managed to get the markup rearranged, and I started full-fledged work […]
This is the longest I have gone between releases of Suffusion and unfortunately the current release is significantly more complex than the previous ones, hence version 3.6.7 is still a few weeks away from release. A general fact of any software development cycle is that the more complex the software the longer the development cycle. […]
Over the past several weeks I have been finding it very difficult to provide support for Suffusion. It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to keep up with my day job, theme development, support and most importantly, my life. With immediate effect I am formally announcing a reduction in the support I provide for the […]
Suffusion is celebrating its first birthday today! I am glad that I managed to slug it out for a year and come up with a decent theme that people haven’t utterly and totally slammed! As is the case with most perspectives, I wanted to spend a few paragraphs explaining my plans for the next few […]
