Update: (June 23, 2008) Just released the Morning After version 1.3.2. This version fixes a security-related bug in search.php. The upgrade to 1.3.2 is strongly recommended. If you've tweaked parts of the theme and don't want to go through the trouble of replacing all your files, you should at least replace your search.php file with the new one. I've also fixed a couple of relatively minor non-security related bugs in archive.php (number of posts in a category) and single.php (comment-related bug).
About The Morning After
Although it drives millions of weblogs all over the world, WordPress is a powerful publishing platform that is increasingly being used to power online magazines and other news-driven Web sites; sites that fall outside the domain of ‘blogs’. Contrary to popular belief, WordPress isn’t just a ‘blogging application’. It can be (and is being) used for a whole lot more.
The Morning After is a magazine-style theme for WordPress created by Arun Kale. The theme was created based on a brief survey on the WordPress forums about what people would want to see in a unique magazine-style theme.

Support
Support queries are only answered in the forums. Please don’t e-mail me directly with support requests. It’s a much better way to catalog support requests and solutions to problems than comments, and it might just become a nice place to hang out. Feel free to post feature requests as well.
Just Because
The Morning After theme is absolutely free for you to download and use. Wait, what’s that? You really, really like the theme and would like to offer a small donation? Aw, shucks! That’s really nice of you. If you have a Moneybookers account, please feel free to donate any amount you feel appropriate to arun.kale@gmail.com.
