Grey light, new day leaks through the window And some old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio We walk the forty blocks to the middle Of the place we heard where everything would be And there were barricades to keep us off the street But the crowd kept pushing forward Until they swallowed the police Yeah, they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle And all the broken glass swept off the avenue And on the way home I held your camera like a bible Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room You dropped the paper in the water And it all begins to bloom Yeah, they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I can’t speak I see some flowers on a hillside Like a wall of new TVs Yeah, they go wild

An addon pack for True Blue 1.5 will be released shortly.

Update: 2007-09-03 – r405:

As of revision 405, K2’s Javascripts should now load properly with Internet Exploder 7. TextTrimmer has been ported. There are still some problems with the sliders and Internet Exploder 7.

Update: 2007-09-13 – r423:

The sliders should now work properly with Internet Exploder. I actually ended up porting the slider from script.aculo.us. Updated to jQuery 1.2. Looking forward to the new jQuery UI.

True Blue has been updated for K2 0.9.6. The width issues have been fixed. If you’re using 2 sidebars, the 2nd sidebar will appear at the bottom. I’m working on a 3 column version.

Just insert the following tag into your content: <!--picasa-albums-->

You’ll need to install the wp-lightbox2 plugin.

Download Picasa Albums 0.1

I changed layout dimensions to match K2 and added support for Custom Image Headers (requires WordPress 2.1). You no longer need to use Photoshop to change the image header. Just click on Custom Image Header found under the Presentation tab and upload your image. If the image is larger than 780 × 200, you’ll have the option of cropping it.

This scheme is also hosted at Google Code. There, you’ll find the latest developmental version, file bug reports/feature requests and documentation.

Download True Blue 1.4 for K2 0.9.5.

Download True Blue 1.4.1 for K2 0.9.6.

Here are some steps to take when upgrading from K2 0.9.1:

1. Optional: Upgrade to WordPress 2.1. The next version of K2 will require it.
2. Important: Deactivate the WordPress Widgets plugin.
3. Optional: In the K2 Options panel, click on the Uninstall K2 button. Warning: This will deactivate and clear your K2 options. Ignore the headers error that you get.
4. Rename the old k2 folder to something else.
5. Download K2 0.9.5, decompress and upload the k2 folder to your WordPress themes folder.
6. Copy any third-party schemes from the old styles folder to k2/styles.
7. Copy any custom header images from the old images/headers folder to k2/images/headers.
8. You can now delete your old K2 folder.
9. Set the proper permissions to the headers folder: world writeable (777).

1. Activate the new K2 from the Themes panel.

Update: Please disable the WordPress Widgets plugin. There’s also a thread for K2 0.9.5 discussions

After several months since 0.9.1, we’re happy to announce the release of K2 0.9.5 RC 1. Here’s a short list of changes from 0.9.1:

• Added support for WordPress 2.1.
• Added support for Custom Image Header, allowing you to upload and crop your header images. Requires WordPress 2.1
• Optimized Rolling Archives and Live Search. If you were having problems with them in 0.9.1, they should work properly now in this build.
• Added Text Trimmer: you’ll notice a new slider next to the rolling archives, slide it to shorten the length of your text.
• The slider for Rolling Archives and Text Trimmer is now hidden on the first page.
• Streamlined K2 Options.

• Bountiful bug fixes.

If you’re having problems with Sidebar Modules or Rolling Archives in K2 0.9.1, you can try upgrading to the svn version. We have made substantial improvements and bug fixes with the svn version. The problems you’ve encountered might have been fixed. If not, please post a bug report.
