  • Page templates.
  • RSS links and search box in navigation area.
  • Subscribe widget.

This version is called beta only because the above mentioned features are yet to be added.  Core of the theme is very stable, you can safely use this on your blog.

Coming up in December

When I first created SWIFT it was just a simple theme to fit my needs with minimum features. I decided to put in a little more effort and release it under GPL licence for use by fellow WordPress users.It happened to be one of the best decision I ever made.It got good feedback and appreciation from the WordPress community right from the first release and the swift user base is growing monotonously.

Free Themes

version 4.0.1 is out with bug fixes and 2 new features which are not found even in premium themes

As there were several requests asking to support images from other hosts, I found a work around for it. SWIFT now downloads the first image in your post and saves it to wp-content/swift_uploads folder in case if its from other host and use it for generating thumbnails. A feature thats not present in any premium themes :D .
