How has Atahualpa implemented support for the new post formats feature?
If it hasn't yet been implemented, are there plans to implement it in the future?

Ciao for now!

Not sure what the plans are for the theme but many plugins already use that feature and you can add there are plugins that let you add your own custom post types.

Larry,

"post formats" are not the same as custom post types. Post formats are a standard set of formats added in WP3.1 that include:
aside
gallery
link
image
quote
status
video
audio
chat

The are added via call to "add_theme_support". One would normally style them with some css and possibly a little php.

Lack of support by Atahualpa for new WordPress core functions is a major issue for many of us going forward.

Is there any chance they will be added?

You can also edit function.php and add the following just before the last line

add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'chat', 'gallery', 'image', 'link', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio' ) );

Now you can add CSS Inserts based on the class format-xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is one of the new formats like 'format-aside' or 'format-standard'

I'd love to see some examples that people come up with. Show off and show code

Two plugins are making things a little simpler.

The first, WP Post Formats from Ben Casey, adds that code that juggledad referred to without we having to make the modifications to functions.php. One less thing to worry about when upgrading the theme.

The second, CF Post Formats from Alex King and Crowd Favorite, modifies the user interface on the post entry page to give users an idea of what data can be included.

Now, if I can just get some guidance on how to style post-formatted entries, I'll be... in like Flynn.

I'm looking at post-formatted samples on the blogs of Matt Mullenweg and Justin Tadlock to get some ideas about styling. Tadlock, in particular, writes about post formats on his blog. If you want to look at those entries, you can browse his archives or enter "post formats site:justintadlock.com" at your favorite search engine to find those posts.

Anyone that has any suggestions on styling Atahualpa to handle post-formatted entries, especially asides, quotes, status, all of which could exclude a header on the displayed page.

Some additional information can be found in the Wordpress Codex article "Post Formats", including answers to some questions I had about how to style post-formatted entries without a header.

In my first experiment executing Post Formats on my blog, I tackled the format "aside" which is generally styled without a header. At first, I was confused how I could make the header disappear, but using Juggledad's comment as a clue and doing some reading in that WordPress Codex article I referred to above, I came up with the following code.

/* Added 16 April 2013 - Post Formats */

.format-aside .post-headline,
.format-aside .post-byline {
	display: none;
}

.format-aside .post-kicker {
	font-weight: bold;
}

The display: none; CSS entry causes whatever items are styled with that entry to "disappear". I had to look into functions.php to find the proper CSS classes to style, but upon making that discovery, it was easy to code.

One thing I would like to do in keeping with the styling of asides, as implemented by Mullenweg and Tadlock, was to place the Infinity symbol (∞) at the end of the aside with the permalink of the aside "embedded" in the symbol. However, if I'm correct, there's no way to do this without making changes to index.php.

Two questions.

1. Is that correct?
2. Wouldn't this be a good use for a child theme?

Ciao for now!
