For a while now we’ve wanted to release a wedding theme - for couples to share important details about their upcoming wedding.

So Brad and Matt went to work on one …. we’re calling it Save the Date.

Save the Date is ideal for wedding photographers who could include a WordPress wedding site add-on package, or do-it-yourselfers who want to get details online in an elegant way.

• 7 PSDs – we’ve included the Photoshop files for the neat images included
• Multi-level dropdowns – to help your site guests easily navigate all the pages you include
• Widget ready areas – to post your Save the Date image, maps, where you’re registered and more

Over at PluginBuddy, we just released a free WordPress plugin called ServerBuddy that is designed to help you test the quality of your hosting, how secure your WordPress installation is, and test compatibility with popular plugins like BackupBuddy and Gravity Forms.

Through the launch of our BackupBuddy plugin, we realized just how bad some hosting is. So we built this plugin out of the need to help the larger WordPress ecosystem get better, more secure hosting.
