Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
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.

After a lot of delays and innumerable back-and-forth exchanges, a version of Suffusion has finally been approved – 3.6.3. This is essentially a combination of a large number of features and fixes, from release 3.5.8 through 3.6.3. If you look at the Change Log.txt file in the theme folder you will get an idea about […]
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 […]
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 […]
