Re-Install
I just finished re-installing current release of WordPress 2.0.2 . Sorry guys for the inconvenience caused in the last 1 hour. I dont know why i dont like to upgrade it, may be I am scared of loosing data while overwriting the existing files. Even if it takes a good amount of time to re-install, i prefer to do that way. Anyways my blog is up and running smoothly now.
On the next update of 3 Column K2 Style, i am thinking to modify one of the svn releases or may be i can include some of the features from svn in to this k2r167. If you want me to include any specific feature from svn in to this release please let me know. I am going to grab a current release of k2 from svn and have a look at it now. Long Live K2.
Basic 3 Column Style for k2r167
Now 3 Column k2 got its own page. Check it for all the updates and to get the latest release.
Hello everyone. I’m happy to announce a 3 column K2 style based on k2betatwor167. Its just a basic switch from a 2 column to 3 column K2. I am not including any extra styling in this release, because i want the K2 users to style it for their liking. I have already modified this basic style on my blog as u can see right now and i want to see more 3 column layouts based on this style. So grab it from here and follow the instructions below to activate the 3 column layout. You can get the K2 theme by Michael, Chris and Zeo from here
I wont be updating this style for svn releases.
The revision four is based on SVN release.
Do not use K2 unless you understand what a beta version is.
Make sure you visit the K2 Support Forum.
Version 0.9
As of Revision four, you have to upload this style as a new theme. Dont replace the files from this release into your existing theme. Then select the Switch.css from the styles dropdown in K2 Options.
Instructions
To Install: Unrar and upload the contents of the above .rar file to your “/wp-content/themes/k2/” directory (It just replaces the existing sidebar.php, page-archives.php, style.css and adds couple of images to images folder and places switch.css in your styles folder.)
To Activate: In the WordPress Admin, go to the Presentation tab, then to the K2 Options SubTab, and select the switch.css from the K2 Scheme drop down menu. Click the Update Options button on the bottom of the page. Now you will have basic k2 in 3 columns. If u want your basic 2 column layout back you can select noscheme.css from the K2 Scheme drop down menu and update options. Now you will have your basic 2 column k2.
Now you can see the current revision demo on this Page.
More Information
I will be keeping this post updated with the newest updates. You may see more changes to this basic style from me in future. If there are any problems or if u have any suggestions to improve this style, please leave a comment.
Stay tuned to the K2 forums for a tutorial on how to do this 3 column layout.

3 Column K2
I have been using K2 by Michael, Chris and Zeo since the day it saw its first public release and I have modified it several times. I have been thinking of modifying K2 to include an extra column for a long time and I have done it now. Its not tough, but I donno why I haven’t tried till now. It’s not going to stay for a while though as I dont like 3 column personally. Anyways leave your comments on how you feel abt this 3 column K2.
WordPress Widgets
Widgets have come to WordPress! By installing the Widgets plugin by Automattic and using a widget-ready theme, you can bring the popular customization feature from WordPress.com to your very own, hosted WordPress installation. (WordPress 2.0 required). This plugin comes with several useful and entertaining widgets but expect great numbers of widgets to appear over the coming days and weeks.
