This is just a short post to let you know that I have made a few updates to the b2evo 3.3.x version of the Frugal Theme. These are not really changes that you will see on the front end but more structural changes:

• Removed a duplicate ID so the theme is now xhtml compliant
• Change a few h1, h2 and h3 tags to make the structure of the pages a little better

None of these changes should effect the way the skin looks as all the css for the changed title tags have been updated to make them the same as before so this should be a drop in replacement for the previous version (unless you have made changes to the skin yourself). Please had on over to the Frugal Theme page and download the new version.

Best,

The Frugal Theme for b2evolution has gone through a major update in that is now supports the new b2evolution 3.x features like intro posts. You can see them in action at the top of the main page of this blog with my 'Subscribe to RSS or see me on twitter' box. This is basically an intro post. The skin now also uses skin settings to allow you to turn off post metadata and choose whether to display the b2evolution logo (the link back in the footer is always maintained)

If you are using the 2.4.x version of the Frugal theme on a 3.x install of b2evolution then I recommend you head over to the Frugal Theme page and download the new version.

Best,

I was recently asked on twitter if there was a way to change the "Follow Up" text that appears in your post when create an extended post (see the demo site for an example of an extended post) I had never tried this so I thought I would have a play to see if it could be done.

It is possible but it isn't as easy as it sounds so I thought I would document it here for others to have a go. This was all done on a 3.x install of b2evolution and hasn't been tried or tested on any other version
