Hacking on the new P2 WP theme
I really like the new Prologue theme for WordPress. It looks really clean, supports keyboard shortcuts and it buzzword compliant with the new micro-blogging UI. Unfortunately I’m a bit hard to please. I’m annoyed by the auto-generated titles in RSS feeds and I think displaying useful titles on your blog helps people skim. Lets be realistic no one wants to read all of the crap I spew about.
So I’ve customized the theme a bit to my tastes so you can read the title of this post and decide to skip over it.
And I get this nice little box at the top when I’m logged in so that I can type that title without even visiting the admin interface.

I think this addition is awesome and definitely useful when scanning through alot of information. Do you mind providing the code you added to add/display the titles?

I would also like to make these hacks to P2 for an internal work site I’m putting together.

I would also be very grateful for the code to add a title, please. It just finishes the job off neatly, I think. Thank you very much.

Nice
I’m looking for a solution that effectively allows you to cross-post to Twitter right from the P2 post-form (enter Twitter credentials, save, go away via ajax). There’s plenty of plugins to allow this, but putting out front would be awesome. Any ideas?

Any way to automatically notify members by e-mail of every upcoming post?

Check out FeedBurner. They offer such a thing.

I would also love to know how you did this. This is exactly what many people are asking for. Me too? Can you show us or share it? Thank!

Hi Steven,
I am exactly after what you have done. I spent all day to figure out how visitors can see the box at the top@Hi xxxx whatch up to? when they visit the site. I managed to install Ajax-register and that works fine but annoyingly, I can only see that box and post a new comment when i’m logged in as admin…but when i simulate a normal user registration….the box is not there and users can only reply or leave a comment but can not create a new thread!!! please help what do i need to do? thanks so much in advance.
