MangoOrange™

Update: I have re-upload the i3Theme 1.6 due to some bugs found. Thank you everyone for reporting the bug.

It’s finally out, i3Theme 1.6. Sorry for the delay as I just moved into my new home in Silicon Valley with my newly installed Comcast internet line. As promised, I have added a few tasty visual elements and best of all, 4 additional colours for you to choose from.

Four new sexy colours

i3Theme Classic

Since every new colour i3Theme has a sexy name, I decided to call the original i3Theme, Classic. Sounds like the iPod Classic example.

New features for i3Theme 1.6

1. Coloured Bullets - Gone were the days of black, boring bullet points
   
2. Quote icon - Finally, there’s a nicer way to present your quotes.
3. Site Admin - A direct link to access your administration page. Thank you famfamfam for providing such a wonderful icon.
   

25,000 downloads milestone

Thank you for everyone who continue to support i3Theme. This is another huge milestone for me. I will continue to bring more innovations in MangoOrange™. Something cool is going to release in March. So stay tune.

As Christmas coming, it would be a great gift to present to all the i3Theme fans and here it is: the i3Theme 1.5. Nothing major has changed except that I have fixed quite a few bugs and guess what? It’s now compatible with version before WordPress 2.3. I hope this is a great feature for the non-english WordPress as I believe they are a little behind the english version.

Not only that, I have finally fixed the major problem in IE6 where widgets or images that larger than the sidebar width will pushes the rest of the boxes or main content down. Hope everyone will have little problems with this new release.

Below’s a list of changes made:

• SEO-friendly header title
• Enable hierarchical structure for category’s sidebar (for Widgets, use the ‘Categories’ widget)
• Bug Fixed: (Only in IE6) Information overflow in the sidebar destroy the layout
• Bug Fixed: Next/Previous link display the same [special thanks to Jamie]
• Bug Fixed: Category icons missing when using Widgets’ categories
• Bug Fixed: Unable to work in WordPress 2.2 or lower [special thanks to mat]

Lastly, I would like to announce that i3Theme has 19,648 downloads since the first release of i3Theme. I hope by Christmas, it will hit the 20,000 mark.

Till then, Merry Christmas to everyone!

There’s a minor bug on the faulty sub-navigation that keep appearing regardless whether there is sub-pages. It’s fixed now. Sorry that I didn’t take notice of the bugs while testing. Thanks to John for helping report the bug. Also, I would like to thank everyone for continuing to use i3Theme, as your preferred choice of Wordpress theme.

Today, I’m very happy to announce that i3Theme has gathered over 9,500 downloads ever since it’s first release on 5th May 2007. I have received many reviews and feedbacks about the theme and I’m glad that it has made quite an impact in the blogging arena. Some of them even expressed that because of i3Theme, they are motivated to do more work!

It’s been a difficult time for me, juggling my new business, Exoro, studies as well as giving support for the i3Theme. I’m very thankful for those who have been patient with my slow replies and would like to apologize to those who had urgent requests but I couldn’t attend to them. Nonetheless, it’s all of you who have made i3Theme a great success.

I personally would like to thank the i3Theme donators: staticbrain, The Wood Whisperer and Qikflo. Their contributions have motivated me to continue to provide my best possible support for i3Theme. In addition, I would like to acknowledge Web Hosting Geeks, for its strong support for the i3Theme as well as the upcoming release. I hope all the i3Theme fans out there can benefit from the great reviews they have for web hostings when you are searching for one to host your wordpress with i3Theme

Besides all the thanking, I would also like to announce the release of the latest i3Theme v1.3. It has been fully tested with the major four browsers as well as the latest wordpress 2.3. It even supports tagging, the latest feature in Wordpress 2.3. So go ahead and upgrade your blog to the latest i3Theme with no worries. Feel free to see the changes at the changelog.

Thank you for continuing to support the i3Theme and I look forward to your feedback. If you love the i3Theme and want to contribute to its development, feel free to donate! Thanks a million.

Nandx has reported that the current i3Theme cannot display sub navigation bar. After looking at it, the problem is due to the Widget plugin by Automattic. I understand that majority of us, including me, are having this useful plugin on their blogs. Worry not, there is a solution for this.

UPDATE: I realised that the solution does not exactly solved it. However, this time, I have found the solution to it. I will be releasing it on the next version in 12 hours time. So stay tune. Continue reading »
