Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
A disclaimer I would have posted this on WP’s official site if it allowed me to post, but since it doesn’t, I am publishing it on my own blog. This is meant as an appraisal of the new theme approval process on WordPress. On 9th June 2010 WordPress made an announcement that it was expanding […]
Earlier today Suffusion obtained its 100th rating on WordPress.org. This puts it it rather exclusive company – it is now the 5th theme to obtain this distinction. The four others to have reached this landmark before me are: Atahualpa – Really the inspiration behind Suffusion and in my opinion the gold-standard of theme customization, Atahualpa […]
After months of waiting and after a series of Beta versions and Release Candidates WP 3.0 finally came out today. I encourage all of you to upgrade your installations. Why Should You Upgrade? Version 3.0 is a significant release that has a lot of terrific features. Here are some: Menus This is arguably the most […]
Today Suffusion crossed a very significant milestone – 100,000 lifetime downloads! Frankly when I had started out I had no clue that I would reach six figures. I have all my users to thank for this. As is customary I drop in a line every now and then saying what I plan to do for […]

In the early hours of 26th January 2010, the 50,000th download of Suffusion occurred. This, obviously is great news for me, particularly since I hadn’t envisioned it getting so popular. A BIG THANK YOU to all my users for helping me see the theme grow!
Dear Users of Suffusion, I have a sincere request for you. As you are aware, I tackle the support for the theme at the forum. Of late I have noticed an incredible number of queries on the forum asking for assistance regarding various aspects of the theme. To provide you some statistics, I opened up […]
Apologies for this, but a bug crept past my notice in version 3.0.2. While fixing a bigger bug about breaking layouts, I inadvertently introduced a smaller one. If you have upgraded to the new version you will see that the widget headings on the sidebars show up with some padding – white space or black […]
For once this is not a post about a theme release. I wanted to thank all of you who made contributions towards my coffee. Turns out that I can now get an iPod touch, and that too, before Thanksgiving!! I can hear some of you snickering, “Well, you can now test out the theme on […]
