With the launch of the new site, I’m releasing two new versions of the ComicPress Theme. Two Editions actually, the Blogging Edition and the Classic Edition. The former line of ComicPress themes, version 1.0 and 1.5 are now the Classic Edition ( featuring one post per page and only comic posts with accompanying text). The Blogging Edition is the one many of you have been waiting for. It allows you to have separate news/blog posts under the comic, and post them separate from comics.

ComicPress 1.6 CE (Classic Edition) Features

• One post per page
• Comics and news are posted together
• New archive file that is compatible with WordPress 2.1
• This is the update for 1.5, if you want to upgrade, just copy the new archive file from the download, that’s basically the only change. A version 2.0 CE is in the works.

ComicPress 2.0 BE (Blogging Edition) Features

• Can post comic or news/blog posts separately
• Recent news/blog runs under the comic on the front page
• Takes advantage of WordPress’ built-in archive features
• Still comes with the complete archive list but this time as an integrated template
• Easy to navigate comic or news/blog posts, work seamlessly in the archives
• Comic thumbnails available in the archive
• Comics built into the RSS feed
• More freedom for naming files, can mix .gif .png and .jpg
• Looks nice and is usable out of the box, no customization needed
• Informative documentation!

Head over to the about page to read more, you can get the themes at the new download page. There are also demo’s available to see them in action. Head over to The Check Family to see ComicPress 2.0 BE being used at an actual comic site with only a few images added and a couple colors changed in the stylesheet.
