‘Tis the season to be upgrading. WordTwit and WPtouch both see some last minute gifts in new releases today, here’s a rundown of what’s been changed/added.

WordTwit 2.2.5

A small update to WordTwit adds bonafide WordPress 2.9+ support. Minor bugs and fixes were baked in as well.

WPtouch 1.9.7

We lauded a couple of the new feature adds on Twitter yesterday, and things progressed well enough that a release of the new version could be made today. 1.9.7 adds a couple of oft-requested things, post-thumbnails instead of calendar icons and the ability to change the font used for H2 on the post listings, post and page titles.

For Post Thumbnails we perform some eye candy additons for you: You just pick your thumbnail, and we add the rounded corners and reflection automagically. The admin options for the post listings are now: Calendar Icons (default), Post Thumbnails, Post Thumbnails with random images (to fill the posts that don’t have thumbnails associated) and show neither (for those minimalists out there).

Instead of trying to describe all of this in detail in a post, I’ve whipped up a quick video to go over setting up the new features.

From all of us at BraveNewCode, have a safe and happy holidays everyone and we’ll see ya in the new year/decade!

For those of you who haven’t seen it, we’ve also been tinkering with a BuddyPress plugin called BuddyPress Geo.
