<div>Chapter delegates,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to give you all a heads-up that next week I plan to release a new version 1.2.0 of the ISOC WordPress theme.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>WARNING!!!! You *will* need to change the front page of your site after updating to this version!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The reason for the advance notice is that if you have your site configured for "automatic updates" using the "Theme Updater" plugin and you just do the automatic update and don't look at your site... your front page will be broken until you update it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the process of updating the Deploy360 site to be based on the standard ISOC WordPress theme, I made a great number of fixes, feature requests and changes to the theme. The single biggest change was to get rid of the hard-coded "News" column on the
left that many people (myself included) found annoying and restrictive. Now instead the front "Home" page has three separate "widget-enabled" columns so you can set up those columns in whatever format you want (and you can also have a 2-column layout if
you want). You can still have a "News" area, but you now have the flexibility to NOT have that in the left column.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Those of you who want all the details of exactly what has changed can visit:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>(And thanks to ISOC-PL's Marcin Cieslak for helping with a fix to one of the issues.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can see the new and improved theme in action at <a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/" target="_blank">http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll send out a message next week when the new version is ready for usage. I just wanted to give you an advance warning that you can't just update or upload this new version of the theme and expect it to work with no changes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Dan</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>P.S. There are still other bugs and feature requests pending on the theme but this release represents the major ones found to date. The full list of feature requests and bugs can be found at:</div>
