Actually the move to write and submit a plugin comes quicker than I would have liked, all thanks to my plans for Giornalismo. In my initial creation of the theme I realized that themes
Ten months after submitting it to the WordPress Theme Directory, my number one goal with Nuovo finally got checked off.

So it’s been a while since I gave an update for Nuovo, but here we go. Since the last update, the theme has gotten even closer to being included in the WordPress theme directory. It’s to the point that I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel for the theme, which
