SlideShowPro acquires SlidePress

Posted by Todd Dominey on Monday, October 12, 2009 at 12:11 pm

Today we’re excited to announce that the SlidePress plugin for WordPress – originally developed by Palms Development Company – has been acquired by SlideShowPro / Dominey Design Inc and is now part of the SlideShowPro family of products as a free accessory for SlideShowPro Standalone.

For many months now, SlidePress has proven to be a valuable utility for many SlideShowPro users who use WordPress as their web site publishing software. The plugin not only provides an easy way to embed SWFs, but also a complete user interface for creating customized slideshows and photo galleries using SlideShowPro as the media player.

SlidePress will continue to be updated and maintained as a free WordPress plugin. By bringing the plugin in-house, updates to it (as well as SlideShowPro itself) will be developed in-tandem for more synchronized public releases as well as deeper product integration going forward.

A new build of SlidePress has been posted today to the WordPress Plugins Directory that contains revised documentation as well as a handful of small improvements and updates. We’ve also re-launched the SlidePress site (domain changes have not fully propagated yet), and have migrated plugin documentation over to our support wiki.

Expect to see SlidePress expanded and improved in the months ahead. Thanks to Scott Shelton of Palms for not only creating SlidePress, but for all his assistance during this transition.
