P2: The New Prologue (WordPress Theme)

Are you running a group blog where you have more than one author ? Are you looking for a nice, and fast theme where you can update such as microblogging, Twitter ? P2 is an extensive revamp of Prologue, the brainchild of last year’s winter retreat.

Live notifications, comments on the homepage, and in-line editing are just part of what makes P2 revolutionary. With these features, you never have to refresh, and rarely need to visit the dashboard. Everything you need to communicate with other users on your blog (and your readers, too), is right there on the front page. We like to think of it as a really cool version of Twitter for groups.

P2 is the perfect theme to use when you’re collaborating with remote teams and far-flung friends. It’s also a great tool for school projects, as a class or as a group. Automatticians use it internally to keep each other up to date, both on a company-wide level and on a project-by-project basis.

Check out the video below!

Here’s the overview of what’s new in P2:

• Threaded comment display on the front page.
• In-line editing for posts and comments.
• Live tag suggestion based on previously used tags.
• A show/hide feature for comments, to keep things tidy.
• Real-time notifications when a new comment or update is posted. (If you have a Mac, you know what we mean when we say it’s Growl-like.)
• Super-handy keyboard shortcuts: c to compose a new post; j to go to the next item; k to go to the previous item; r to reply; e to edit; o to show and hide comments; t to go to the top; esc to cancel.
• Helvetica Neue for you modern font lovers.
• Plus more to come! Keep an eye on the news blog for updates.

And as always, there’s:

• Hassle-free posting from the front page.
• RSS feeds for everything: the entire prologue, each author, each tag, and any search.
• A feeling of supreme awesomeness because you’re using a sweet theme custom-made by Automattic.
