I just released Black-Letterhead version 1.6.2. This latest version supports WordPress 2.9 scheduled for release within a week. WordPress 2.9 has a new feature called post thumbnails. It allows a thumbnail or an image to be displayed in each post. Previously, blog owners have been using plugins to have this feature available on their blogs.

Any special reason why you removed site headers for all sites using your “Black Letterhead” theme?
Here is an example: http://sladescross.wordpress.com/
The theme being used by WordPress.com was based on an earlier version of Black-Letterhead.
Hi,
I’ve used your black-letterhead, which I love, but with the new WordPress 3.0, it doesn’t seem to be working. I can’t download an upgrade, the page doesn’t show up, and I’m wondering if you’re going to upgrade it so that it will work for 3.0? I hope so, otherwise, I have to choose a different theme and I really don’t want to do that. Please upgrade it, and please let me know if I can fix it because I really want to use it. It is the identity of my blog.
Thanks!
Hi Carrie,
The latest version should be compliant with WordPress 3.0. I was running Black-Letterhead 1.6.2 on WordPress 3.0 last night and I didn’t have any issues. Do you have a link I can check?
By the way, you can download the theme from the download link above.
Hi Ulysses,
Pl fix the download link at the bottom of the content.
Link below the image is working
Thanks for the wonderful theme.
Babaji, I didn’t realize the link was broken. It’s fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. Have a great day.
