It’s been awhile, haven’t it?
First of all, a quick status update on the Notes themes.
- Notes Blog hits 1.0 in a little bit, I’m working on this one right now actually. It might or might not be released on wordpress.org this year, but you’ll be able to download it soon enough at least.
- Notes Mag won’t get any love until next year. Too much work, sorry about that.
- All other Notes projects are on hold.
That didn’t sound too good, did it? Don’t worry, it’s not so bad.
You see, as it turns out a lot of people are building cool sites on Notes Blog, and I’m questioning the need for some of the planned things because of this. In fact, I’m not even sure that Notes Mag should be a stand-alone theme, maybe it’ll end up as settings for Notes Blog or as a child theme.
Moving on, there are some changes due to notesblog.com as well. It will be relaunched as more of a landing page for the themes, along with quick links to resources and possibly a support forum if the need arise. The development cycles are so skewered right now, it feels a bit silly to have this thing in blog format. Support questions get buried and so on, better to blog about WordPress some other way. So that’s happening, hopefully within a few weeks time.
Finally, I’ve got some nice child theme ideas lined up for Notes Blog. If there’s time you’ll get those to play with over the Holidays, but I might not be able to pull it off. The notesblog.com changes take precedence.
OK, that’s it! Be sure to follow @tdh on Twitter and keep an eye on both notesblog.com and TDH.me in the coming weeks and months. Changes are afoot!

I’m reading your book now, “Smashing WordPress,” and I’m having some fun just checking this site out with Chrome’s element inspector. I never thought about adding a typography style to input/textarea tags before! Neat. I like this. ::grin::
My other site, the one I’m playing with is http://www.christytwain.com
Happily Eccentric is using the Absolum theme, with a few tweaks thanks to your book. Christy Twain is using the “blankslate” theme. I’d already started with that before seeing your Notes Blog theme.
Already, your book is far and away better than the other one I was trying to read about using WordPress.
Thank you!
