New update to Blix Krieg WordPress Theme (2.1.3) released

February 17th, 2007

Hi folks,

I’ve just updated the blix krieg wordpress 2.1 compatible theme. This new stable release makes the following additions:

1. SEO upgrade – For the index page, your title bar will now show your blog name a dash and your blog description (eg www.utheguru.com – where we believe YOU are the guru). For content pages, it shows the page title FIRST (previously after), a dash, and then the blog name (eg ‘New Update to Blix Krieg – www.utheguru.com’). I think this is an important update as it makes your page titles, rather than your blog name, jump out to search engine users.
2. Tagline changes – I have implemented the changes spoken about in my recent post (How to add a custom Tagline) into the stable version.

For those of you who already have blixkrieg and have customized it already, you can add my changes by following the instructions in How to add a custom Tagline, and the SEO upgrade code is simply a small change to header.php after the title page so it reads –

<?php if (is_home()) {
bloginfo('name'); echo " - "; bloginfo('description'); wp_title();
}
else
{
wp_title(''); echo " - ";bloginfo('name');
}?>


As always, you can download the latest version from the BlixKrieg Download Page and see it in action at the Beta Test Page

Cheers,

TheDuck
