WordPress Theme Update

Bug Fix Update for Green Apple Theme

Somebody slap me! I released a theme that was not quite ready. There were a couple of bugs in the CSS, which I fixed, and I also added tiny little arrows in the post navigation bar. The menu was not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 6 (it’s always IE6!) and that should now be resolved.

My apologies for any inconvenience caused!

New! WordPress Bookstore

Web Wench — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:32:16 +0000

I built an Amazon store and stocked it with the latest WordPress and blogging books – check it out! I didn’t use a plugin, but instead made a modified template file and included my aStore in an iframe. I’ll make a video or screencast tutorial soon on how to do it – it was super easy!

I am also getting VERY CLOSE on completing the Tickled Pink theme – you should expect an announcement in the next few days. I don’t know if I”ll submit it to the Theme Codex or not – or even whether they will accept it, but I’ll have it available for download soon. I have to finish the accompanying Simple:Press theme, Pinkish, as it will be part of the package.

I’ve also got another theme in the works that uses NextGEN Gallery – right now it’s just a bare outline in Photoshop and I’ll have to flesh it out but it won’t be long before it’s a nice theme for a gallery or portfolio site!

And – nothing to do with WordPress or with the Gardens, but: Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama on winning the Democratic nomination!

Spring Green Buttons

Put Spring in your forum! That sounds corny, I know, but I live in crazy Oregon, who can’t make up her mind if it’s spring or not. Right now I am freezing my Georgia peach butt off and huddled inside. Lucky for you – because I made buttons!

These buttons are called Spring Green, made with CC and GPL icons and Photoshop. Included are two layered Photoshop files so you can make your own custom buttons or changes.

UPDATE: The download links for the Spring Green buttons have been deleted. They were way outdated, and I just didn’t have time to keep them up. I’ll be making a new theme soon and releasing a new GDK.

SimplePress™ Forum Buttons

I’ve been in a happy daze all week that’s only partly due to the Vicodin I got from the clinic on Monday, when I nearly broke my hand while wrestling with the dog. Since I discovered SimplePress™ by Andy at Yellow Swordfish, I’ve been on a mission, hunting down CC and GPL icons to use in the Garden’s forum skin. In the process I created a couple of GDKs to speed up the process for future buttons, and am offering them for download here, along with a finished set.

These buttons are inspired by and very similar to the “three-en” icons in the SimplePress download. The first download contains the finished buttons and a readme file. The second contains two GDKs – one for the smaller buttons with icons, and one for the regular buttons with text. The GDKs do not include the topic, forum, group or inbox icons.

These downloads are “kissware” – the only payment expected is that you do something nice for someone – kiss your spouse, hug your kids, play with the dog. You can kiss me by bookmarking and sharing this post, or by joining the community. Kiss the community by using the GDKs to make new button sets to share – you get the picture!

UPDATE: The download links for the SimplePress buttons have been deleted. They were way outdated, and I just didn’t have time to keep them up. I’ll be making a new theme soon and releasing a new GDK.
