Elements update

Another small set of updates, or should I say IE 6 bug fixes. Because lets be honest, most bugs we encounter are directly related to that old, tired browser.

In our initial release of the Elements theme there was a bug in Internet Explorer 6 that surfaced just recently. The header would take on added space at the bottom in IE 6 when using the site slogan. There was also a small bug where a gap would appear at the top and bottom of the sidebar when text within the sidebar was centered. This update corrects these two problems.

The update has been sent to all user who have purchased the theme in the past. If you do not receive the update within 24 hours of this blog post, use our contact form to send us a copy of your original PayPal receipt or original e-junkie download e-mail so we can send you the update. Be sure to check your junk mail folder before contacting us as every now and then updates might get caught up in the junk mail folder. Updates are sent to the e-mail address that was contained in your PayPal account when you purchased the theme originally.

Installation

In upgrading from a previous version of this theme, be sure to first delete the original theme. To do so, right-click (or crtl-click) on the theme in RapidWeaver's theme drawer and select 'Delete' from the popup menu. Then proceed to install the theme as your normally would, and then quit and restart RapidWeaver.

* Please note: Upgrading this theme will remove any modifications you made to the theme previously. So, please be sure to backup your data if necessary.

Fission Update

fission3

It is update time, again. Another small update, but a bug fix nonetheless in my constant battle of making our themes work well in Internet Explorer.

In our initial release of the Fission theme there was a bug in Internet Explorer 6 would force the main contents of a site down past the sidebar. This only occurred when the visitor entered the page with their IE window at a smaller width than that of the site. This update patches that problem.

The update has been sent to all user who have purchased the theme in the past.

All the news that's fit to print

Document - Pencil_128x128
It has been a while since we published our newsletter. And for that I apologize. The system we were using collected users' information pretty well, but was a royal pain when it came to setting up a good looking HTML newsletter. So, we've gone a different direction, and hope to get the newsletter out much more frequently.

Thanks to Ollie we now have an in-house collection system to collect e-mail addresses and Gary has created an Apple Mail stationery from my PhotoShop mockups and design. This combo is going to be the one-two-punch that gets the newsletter rolling again. So, sign up, if you haven't already and we will have one out by next week, and I promise to have a nice discount code included.

Note: If you've already signed up for our newsletter you will not have to sign up again. I manually ported everyone's e-mail address from the old system into the new.

Updates
