New Default Theme: Cutline

For Mango 1.4, I decided to add a new default theme. This theme includes many of the new features added to release 1.4, so it requires that version. For this theme, I wanted to show how to add a custom login screen and how to modify the comments form to automatically enter the currently logged in user information in comments. It also includes a custom page for a listing of the Archives, which you can enable by adding a new page and settings its page template to the Archives Listing Page.

Although it is not a new feature, Cutline shows how you can have RSS feeds per category. In addition, the author page will show links to the latest blog posts for the selected author.

To enhance SEO (search engine optimization), this theme will check if the post or page contains a custom field for description, called "meta-description" and if so, it will use that for the description <meta> tag. I am hoping this will become a standard in themes, so this SEO enhancement will be always available.

This theme is available for download from your Themes adminstration screen.
