New Theme: Linen Ian Stewart | April 28, 2011 at 7:21 pm | Categories: Themes | URL: http://wp.me/pf2B5-1NO

Today's latest theme is as clean and fresh as you'd expect a theme named Linen to be. It's also an impressively adaptable theme with an array of options that make personalizing it simple and easy. If you're publishing articles in a magazine, pages for a business site, or your own personal blog, you'll find Linen's elegant style perfect for you. And it's yours for the lifetime of your blog for only $68.

The Linen Theme

Just like the other premium themes from The Theme Foundry Linen is packed with features. Linen beautifully highlights posts with featured images by sliding them across the home page. You can add thumbnails to each post and upload your own logo or custom background. You can even customize the typography with a selection of seven accent fonts and eight different body fonts!

Read more about Linen's features on the Theme Showcase and preview it right now, live on your blog, from Appearance → Themes.

[New post] Writing made easy with Writing Helper

Writing made easy with Writing Helper Scott Berkun | April 27, 2011 at 3:21 pm | Categories: Features, New Features | URL: http://wp.me/pf2B5-1KA

We know the hardest part of blogging is actually writing posts. And most blogging software,  and even word processors, do little to help writers write. Today at WordPress.com we're  proud to announce a new kind of feature, aimed at helping the writing process, called Writing Helper. It's a new box that appears underneath the edit box on the Add a Post Screen (the entire box can be dragged to the right side if you want it next to the edit box, instead of underneath).

First up is Copy A Post. You can now reuse the hard work of previous posts as the basis for the next one. Simply hit the Copy A Post button, pick a post, and we copy the title, content, tags and categories for you, saving you steps. If you often have similarly tagged or formatted posts, this will save much time. We will always show your most recent posts in the list, but you can search by title too.

Next is Request Feedback. You can now share a private draft of a post with a friend before it is published. They can help you find typos, suggest improvements and give advice to make the post amazing before your publish it to the world.

When you click on Request Feedback, you can enter email addresses of friends who are willing to help. They'll receive a special private link to see your draft, where they can leave feedback on your post (see image above). Their feedback will appear in your post's Request Feedback area when it arrives, so you can make changes to your draft accordingly.

For more about how Writing Helper works, read the support pages for Copy a Post and Request Feedback.

And if you have ideas for other Writing Helper features you'd like to see, leave us a comment.
