The Zeeb Theme for Wordpress has been released and is ready for download at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/zeeb

I worked out a few bugs in the style and hopefully squashed them all but if you use Zeeb you may want to subscribe to my feed to get notifications of any changes or updates.

I think it’s finished! Rose City Gardens is ready to release Zeeb, a black and white, dramatically “zeebish” theme with a flexible width and wide right sidebar.

I just uploaded a new theme to WordPress.org called Coronado. It’s based on a lovely photograph of Coronado, California – a misty pink and purple sky over a shimmering blue sea. Click the screenshot to see the demo.

This should be approved soon – stay tuned! Also coming, updated stylesheets for Green Apples and Tickled Pink.

Tickled Pink 2.0 has been released and can be downloaded at WordPress.org.

This theme is pink, white and gray, fresh, sassy and feminine. It’s ideal for a personal blog – pink but not too pink, sweet but not saccharine!

I’ve already noticed 2 tiny flaws in the list styling. I’ll post the correction here but wait for more feedback before I upload an updated stylesheet. Read on to see how you can fix it (if you have nested lists; if not, don’t bother)

I love CSS – you can make sweeping changes across your site by changing your stylesheet. One of my favorite tags is one that I use first in every stylesheet:

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

This wipes out all of the default margins and padding your browser assigns to things like paragraphs, lists, headings and the like. The reason this is important to me is that I like for my sites to look the same, cross-browser, as much as is feasible. The defaults in different browsers are not always the same, and this rule allows ME to decide, not a browser company, how my site will look.

This tag means that you will have to assign margins and padding to each element yourself, but with CSS, that’s a job you’ll only have to do once – and if you change your mind later, you can always just change the stylesheet to change all the pages on your site!
