My Picasa Web Albums plugin for WordPress has been put on hold for the time being. It seems that Google has put a block on being able to grab any images from the RSS feed (for the plugin I need the thumbnail URL from the feed). I have been trying to figure it out for some time now and I realize that it has to be a block on Google’s end. Therefore, the project has been put on hold until I hear back from Google and figure out what’s going on.

For now, here’s a screenshot of the Widget. It’s all working, just need to figure out why the thumbs are not displaying. I will make this available for download as soon as these problems are figured out.

It’s nice to see my themes doing well on the themes site. I will be making another theme shortly when I can find some extra time, so keep an eye out on my theme page. There will also be some bug updates to the current themes in the next while as I’m finding out small bugs when people install the themes into different kinds of WordPress installations. Mainly just directory structure bugs.

The new WordPress Theme Viewer has been launched. This has been long awaited as there has been no solid way to submit and host themes anywhere lately.
