The simplicity is most amazing. (I think I just figured out how to move my trailer into a tight camping space.)

CTS InfoPro Module Outlines

New features Gallery2 and Subscribe2

Gallery2 integration works, mostly. Well the sidebar and full page embedding works, more to come. Activate WPG2 by pointing it to http://stjschool.org/gallery2/ and it should autodetect the rest. Then place the STJ Galley widget in your sidebar. Subscribe2 allows you to email, automagically, site updates(a new post for example) to your subscribers. A new Subscribe link appears in your footer.

Audio Posts (But not quite podcasts, yet)

Or rather, Audio in Posts. They're not iTunesey podcasts, yet, but they're simple enough. Your mp3 file must be less than 2MB and uploaded to your blog in the normal way. Go find the menu in Dashboard-->Options-->Audio Player. Read the check boxes, the third check box will automagically change your mp3 links in your posts to embedded flash players. Easy-peezy. Look at wmcauley's mp3 links.

Do you want to send free text messages to a cell phone?

Look for the Quick SMS widget on any theme that has sidebar widgets. Mine works(vmobile.ca). I need someone to verify that the Telus Mobility widget works, too. If your provider is not listed, and you want it, let me know. Receiving texts messages on my cell phone, for me, is free. It's sending them that costs me a dime. How much is Telus to send/receive? The Quick SMS widget lets me send at no cost. You can put any number(10 digits), so behave. Enjoy, report abuses to me. D. Sader
