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.

Happy blogging!

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.

In addition to free WordPress themes and advice, Rose City Gardens is now offering web design and hosting.

You can see that our look has changed; this new look is based on the code for Green Apples, with a few minor changes. There are tweaks yet to be made – and in the process of converting the GA skin I found a couple of errors (yes, I made errors. Can you believe it?) So I”ll be releasing another version of Green Apples with the error fixed.

THEN I’ll get back on track with the Tickled Pink skin. I’ll have a busy day in front of me!
