The AWSOM Archive plugin for WordPress has been updated to version 1.2.3 and is now available for download from the AWSOM.org website. This version has a fix in place for a conflict with the Share This plugin, and now does not display the Archive on any Share This page (the page shown instead of using the javascript popup interface). If you are not using Shre This you do not need to upgrade to this version.

Hi everyone, it didn’t quite make it for Christmas, but the new AWSOM News Announcement 1.4.0 Beta 1 plugin for WordPress is now available for download from it’s AWSOM.org Product Page. This version now has Multi-News saving capability, as well as Multi-News display capability. You can hold on to important news posts and activate them whenever you need to display them. You can set them to display in a specific order by assigning them a display position.

As is typical with all Beta products, be aware that bugs or issues can arise, so consider testing it out first offline before putting it live on your site. You should also read the Beta News Page to get more information about the changes in the plugin.

If you hit any major issues, find bugs, or have feedback, please send it in using my Contact Page.

Hi all, I just posted a quick update to the AWSOM News Announcement plugin to bring it to version 1.3.4. You can download it from it’s product page at AWSOM.org. This version is not the new version with multi-news capability, but is simply a bug fix release for the current version to fix an annoying admin area bug that displays a ” on the screen when using the visual editor. If you don’t use the visual editor then you don’t need to update to this version.

The next major release, version 1.4.0 is still being developed and I hope to have it out soon, but with all of the new changes it will probably take a bit longer than I hoped to get it out. (testing grows considerably more difficult when you can have multiple news areas with different content using different posting styles).

I am happy to announce the release of the newest version of the AWSOM Pixgallery plugin, version 4.4.4, is now available for download from it’s product page at AWSOM.org. This new release adds in the ability to automatically watermark your images, Set Custom Folder images, Quickly edit your thumbnails from the full size image page, Display your thumbnails on the index page like the big review sites (with a “see entire gallery” link), Absolute Linking support, and many other upgrades and bugfixes.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Pixgallery please make sure you go to your admin Pixgallery options page to activate and set the new settings after you install this version.
