Update on Get Some! v1.4 and This Just In! v2.4 Release Date

I know WordPress 2.7 has been out for a bit now and I’ve yet to release the newest versions of my Get Some! and This Just In! WordPress themes. The themes are finished and have been submitted for approval to the WordPress theme repository. Unfortunately, the approval process takes a week or so – well, it did last time I submitted themes for approval, it could be a bit longer by now – so they’ll be ready for download as soon as they’re approved.

Why can’t I just post the new theme files for download here? Good question. I did that for the last release, but it only caused problems because I ended up with several versions out there, which turns out to be a tracking nightmare. Also, the WordPress.org has some specific requirements to get themes approved and it’s always possible to miss a thing or two, at which point you have to go back and make changes, increment the version number, and re-submit. So, I don’t want to release versions 1.4 and 2.4 only to have WordPress.org reject my submission, make corrrections, increment the version number, and then end up with four versions of the two themes out there that are all nearly identical. Again, tracking nightmare.

So, please be patient until those get approved. In the meantime, check out the changelogs for each theme below to see what’s new!
