New WordPress Theme Beta

Web Wench — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:26:10 +0000

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.

Zeeb includes a jQuery-driven tabbed panel in the sidebar with Tags, Recent Posts and Recent Comments, and a 3-level page menu with a nice fade effect, also jQuery. Like all of the Garden’s themes, it is very search engine friendly.

Those who want to wait should hold out for a day or three, as it’s really almost ready to be released (famous last words?) I think it’s ready, but I’ve certainly been wrong before, so I’m releasing it now to interested parties as a beta. I’m still going through looking for bugs and ways to improve. If you’re interested in trying out Zeeb on your own site, please contact me and I’ll send you a download link.

Happy blogging!

New WordPress Theme – Daisy Gray

Web Wench — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 01:05:44 +0000

WordPress 2.7 final has been released, and I’ve upgraded the Gardens! No problems so far, although I haven’t checked all the plugins. Theme Switcher Reloaded doesn’t work as it should, unfortunately, but I’m sure that will be fixed soon.

To celebrate, I’m releasing a new theme – Daisy Gray. It’s a fixed-width (750 pixels), two-column theme with a right sidebar, in white and shades of gray, with a two-level tabbed page menu. As with all the Garden’s themes, Daisy Gray is coded to be very search engine friendly. I just submitted it to WordPress.org today, and it will take a few days to be approved, but if you want it now, just drop me a line either here in comments or at the Contact page.

WordPress Theme – Coronado

Web Wench — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:54:39 +0000

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.

Free WordPress Theme – Tickled Pink 2.0

Web Wench — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:51:55 +0000

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)

Open style.css

On line #228 find
background: url(images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left;
Replace with
background: url(images/bullet.gif) no-repeat top left;
On line blank line #231, add:
.post ul ul, .post ol ol { font-size: inherit; }

On line #406 add
#sidebar ul ul { margin-bottom: 0px; }

Any other questions or problems, please feel free to contact me – here, in the forums, or through the WordPress.org site!
