PressPlay 1.3, in Honor of 5,000 Downloads

a-thing-of-beautyPressPlay recently hit 5,000 downloads at WordPress’s free theme directory, something I honestly never expected when I first submitted it at the end of June.  This is my first theme, and now that I know a bit more about what I’m getting into, I’m even more excited about designing another one.  Thanks to everyone who’s downloaded it!

To coincide with the 5,000th download, I updated the theme to version 1.3.  This one fixes a major oversight in 1.2 that resulted in post information not appearing on single post pages.  It also makes PressPlay now completely translation-ready (thanks to Georg for a ton of work on that) and features a new date graphic.  So go on, download PressPlay 1.3.

Now that I know PressPlay is a pretty stable theme — barring any bugs in 1.3 — I’m thinking ahead to version 2.0, and in particular, an optional magazine-style homepage and a bunch of theme options.  That won’t be for at least a couple of months though — I already have a second theme I’m working on before I get to that — so in the meantime, here’s to the next 5,000.
