Introduction Into A Whole New Level of Website Control:

Here you will see some of the awesome new features in frugal 3.2.  Just a few include:

• Full Import/Export control over your many frugal settings. Now, creating a complete backup and restoring that backup to your frugal websites is as easy as a few mouse clicks.  Transferring a site is a breeze and implementing custom designs (skins) is now incredibly simple!  (For more info into how this option works you can check out THIS VIDEO)
• Built-In Image Uploader. No longer do you need to use an FTP program to upload custom images to your frugal website.  Just browse and then upload the images directly to a frugal uploads directory on your server.  You then have the ability to rename or delete the image.  It’s super simple and amazingly useful when custom designing your frugal site.
• Full Background Control. Before you just had the ability to change the background colors of most any element on your frugal website.  But now you have FULL control!  Change the type (like horizontal and/or vertical repeating image, static image, color only, transparent, etc..) and, if using an image option, you can specify the image name to be used in that background area.  This, with the new Image Upload option, now gives frugal users a whole new level of design control!
• Thumbnails, Thumbnails, Thumbnails! With the latest Image Thumbnail feature in WordPress 2.9 you can now easily add thumbnails to your post excerpts.  With frugal 3.2 you now have full control over how these thumbnails display.  Change they way they are re-sized and cropped, their alignment, dimensions and even complete border options.  And turn them on or off at will.
• SKINS!! Both free and Premium skins are and will be available to make creating awesome designs with frugal super easy!
• Some Option Refinement. I not only re-organized the frugal options pages to make it easier to maneuver around to the different settings, but I completely re-built the way frugal interacts with the WordPress database.  It’s much more efficient, but it does require that you use a simple plugin (that I created) to upgrade from a previous version of frugal.  No need for new installs, but just a heads up if you are upgrading.  (For more information on how to upgrade to frugal 3.2 check out THIS VIDEO)
• Miscellaneous additions and adjustments. I made a few subtle changes like adding independent H1 and H2 font control for your content headings and providing alignment options for logos (both image and text), where before you just had padding to play with.

If you have any questions or feedback you’d like to give or if you’re a developer or designer who might be interested in creating skins for frugal and making some extra cash (as well as sharing your design skills with the frugal community) you can contact me any time.
