Yes, another template. A new version of our publishing software, WordPress, was released a few days ago. Long story short, I had to update our main template just so it would work properly.

The old template has had a few incompatibilities, so I had to pick between:

1. Recode zaiblog 2.0 template to comply with WordPress 2.8
2. Make a new one and use newer standards

Changes:

- Optimized for HD (720p)
- Pure CSS, only one PNG (logo), no JPEG files used (loads faster)
- Less “on the fly” code, more pre-caching (lighter burden on our server)
- Youthful colours (heh…)
- Smileys!
- No need to use the “more” tag when blogging (now with auto excerpt)
- WordPress 2.8+ support (of course! hopefully future-proof)
- More advertisements (bwahahaha)

Things to do:

- Post more useful stuff (we’ve been saying this for years already )
- More mainstream content (because content is king!)
- Invite contributors (if any…)
- Links!

So here it is, zaiblog 3.0… Simpler than ever
