Content precedes design

Leopard Admin v1.0 Released

Teddy Hwang — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 23:19:29 +0000

I’m very happy to release Leopard Admin v1.0. The plugin is 100% compatible with WordPress 2.5 and I have every intention of keeping it up-to-date.

It turned out that creating the plugin from scratch for WordPress 2.5 was a much more enjoyable task than I expected. Since Happy Cog did such a great job in cleaning up the interface on all the forms and buttons, all I really had to do was enclose it in the Leopard inspired design. So what are you waiting for? Go download it! Be sure to let me know what you think in the comments as well as any requests for future versions.

Rocking with WordPress 2.5

Teddy Hwang — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:42:34 +0000

I found some time last week to upgrade this blog to WordPress 2.5 and give the design a quick refresh. With over 1000 downloads, there definitely seems to be a demand for Leopard Admin despite the new WordPress admin design.

After reviewing the comments and the e-mails I’ve received with regards to Leopard Admin’s future, I’ve decided to make the plugin compatible with WordPress 2.5. I’m not sure when I’ll have the time to upgrade the plugin but I promise it won’t be too long. I will also make it a point to write about topics other than SXSW or Leopard Admin. All the changes will be coming soon.
