Short Downtime – May 7, 2013

New Slideshow Plugin

Insert Slideshow Button

We have a new tool for creating Slideshows. You can now easily create multiple slideshows that can be inserted into Posts, Pages and Widget Areas.

We’ve just installed and enabled a new plugin that allows you to add your own custom Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) into any theme.
