Good morning WP fans !

I try to find a theme for a .wordpress.com blog (it's hosted there) What I would like to have is a "notification system", like for example to notify the visitor that there are updated/unread posts in a category since his last visit/refresh/whatever. Like for example with a bold number inside brankets next to a category. Or with ANY other way if that is possible.

Do you know of any theme that has that functionality ?

Thanks !!!

Do you know any plugin (even not free) that does something like that? I might hosted my WP blog to a server and buy the plugin. – labmice Oct 22 '11 at 10:32

Again, none of them will work just like you're imagining it, probably, so you'll have to write your own using the concepts those plugins use.
