[size=100]FINALLY![/size]

After months and months of delays (mainly caused by inattentiveness, indecision, and the usual "Oooh! Shiny!" that affects ADHD sufferers like myself), I'm pleased to announce that I'm ready to release a beta of stripShow 2.0!

Anyone who wants to test out the next generation of the WordPress plugin that turns your blog into a full-featured webcomics archive, should download the beta version at:

http://stripshow.monkeylaw.org/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=stripshow.2.0b1.zip

New features in 2.0:

• A handy WordPress admin interface for uploading comics — either singly, or in bulk.
• Now you can name your comic files whatever you want — no need to have a date in the filename.
• 7 new template tags
• 3 sidebar widgets
• New theme framework based on Sandbox — create a child theme and leave the framework alone, to make upgrading a snap
• Obscuring of comic filenames now available, so you can show comics without letting people know where you keep them.
• Graphic novel creators can configure their archives to start at the first page rather than the last

That's just what I was able to remember off the top of my head.

Because this is a beta, it will not appear in the WordPress Plugin Directory until it is formally released.

I look forward to hearing feedback. What doesn't work? What's not clear? What could be better? Feel free to contact me at the stripShow Support Forum

Have fun, and Happy Stripping!
