I'm having a problem with WP-Andreas 09 1.5 displaying on Internet Explorer, and I want to switch to the new version and go over to BlueHost where I can exploit the features (I'm not an expert or a constant user).

Is there any way I can have a look at some sites that are using WP-Andreas 09 v. 2.0 ?

Is there any way I can track 'em down to look at?

Do you think I'll have the same problems with IE users viewing my site and wondering what they're looking at?

When ever you get a chance. You're doing great work.
(I'll be checking back every 3 or 4 minutes . . . )

Bugs have been fixed, visual adjustments have been made and Ainslie has listened to requests from both wordpress.com bloggers and users with own hosting. Check out the new version at Ainslie's theme development site http://dev.webgazette.co.uk/ (note: may be offline at times) and leave a comment. If you like what you see and would want to use it on WordPress.com too, send a feedback note with a request that WP-Andreas09 is updated to the new 2.0 version.

(hey, one of the color options is pink! Yay!) =)

As Andreas said the sidebar widget is a later addition that we have no control over.

And neither I or Ainslie can change anything in the WordPress.com adoption of the theme. You need to use the feedback form in your admin to request changes if you find bugs in the theme.

However, from what I can tell, images should actually work. I haven't tested it myself, but I can't remember that there is any block for images in the sidebars. If you can see the alt text, it shouldn't be any CSS error.

Have any of the other themes been updated since they were added?

And maybe more interesting, would anyone be interested of seeing the WP theme version of my andreas06 template added here? You can see original design in a live demo on http://andreasviklund.com/templates/ (a bit down on the page). Please note that that is an XHTML/CSS template only and not a WP theme.

I'm asking that because the WP theme version by Ainslie is soon ready for release, and if people here would be interested in it I guess it would be a good idea to ask for feedback and make all wanted changes BEFORE it is suggested for this site.

Feed protocol can be removed. I though it was the way to go? Any more opinions on this?

It's suppose to be. It's actually that way for an installed feed reader. Older browsers and/ or those without a feed reader installed reject it though. I vote for leaving it as is as it's technically correct.

The pop-up on the search bar is, I think available as a plugin. I suppose this could be built into functions.php.

It's in a couple of the themes that we have here.

I will see what can be done.

Feed protocol can be removed. I though it was the way to go? Any more opinions on this?

Colors can be added. I made a whole new set for my site, maybe if I ask Andreas nicely he will make a few more. I want to update the functions.php anyway - the one on wordpress.com looks better than mine.

I hadn't noticed that the columns were not quite equal. I'll look into that. Maybe just a small difference in the style.

Comments on pages are not too much of a problem as long as you are happy with the standard comments template.

The pop-up on the search bar is, I think available as a plugin. I suppose this could be built into functions.php.

It may be a while before I can get back to it. I am working on another you-know-what with you-know-who and then another - andreas06.

Any more requests?

Yes, a bit of customization for the top bar color would be cool.

Noticed a minor "bug": if you select "random" for a category, the links still appear in the same set order, apparently based on the creation date.

I've got excellent feedback from friends anyway, they see that theme as a major improvement.

I've contacted the author and the person who ported it to wordpress.

EDIT: oops; no bug, the random option works fine :-)

Personally, I would like to see sub-page support, maybe in a new sidebar menu for children pages. And I also think that the color switcher could add support for link colors too - either as an optional feature or as default. If I choose red, the links will be red too. But I still love this theme over all other.
