Finally, I think I am done with the 3 Column K2 style for one of the svn releases. I will leave it on my main blog while I try to get some sleep. Do leave comments if you find anything wrong and I will look into it when I woke up. And yes, I will release it after I clean up the css in the morning. Till then Good night all.
Note: I have included the Akismet Spam count in to K2. Now you dont need any plugin to display your spam count. You can find it on the sidebar on the home page and you can even replace the background image if u dont like mine or you can remove it completely if u dont want to show it.
Chris J. Davis has written a wonderful article where he shares his tricks on how to customize post excerpt in a simple way. Check it out.
Basically my excerpt function takes two variables, the ID of the post, and how many characters two display from that post. Not too complicated. I decided to create two seperate functions so that I could maximize flexibility.
When I checked my mint today morning I found that the 3 column K2 style downloads has crossed the 1000 mark. Yes, the Basic three column k2 style I released 2 weeks back has been downloaded 1022 times as of writing this post. While I am still working on a new layout for my blog, I will try to release the 3 column K2 style for one of the svn releases soon. Thanx for all the people who downloaded it.
Paul Stamatiou has released Part 4 of his excellent K2 customization series. Along with his high quality stuff, he walked through the basics of How-To acheive the 3 Column layout. If you havent seen his HOW-To’s, I request all K2 users to have a look at those other three parts of his customization series also.

Since I haven’t made any significant changes on revision 3, other than the bugs I mentioned in my previous post, I am releasing the updated switch.css as an update for revision 3.
Those who have already downloaded revision 3, just download the switch.rar file and replace the existing switch.css in the styles folder. For those who haven’t downloaded the revision 3, download the Revision three UPDATE and follow the instructions from here.
As usual, if you find anything odd pls let me know.
