All of the Garden’s themes are now upgraded for WordPress 2.7 – that took me way too long, but I was like the keystone coder trying to get them ready. Little things kept going wrong – using the wrong screenshot, wrong tags, little style bugs (mostly in IE, damn it). I’m about to upload an update to Daisy Gray to fix the text widget styling. I need to slow down!

Still, I absolutely love making new WordPress themes. Right now I’m working on a very pretty (but not too girly) theme – look for a screenshot in about a week’s time. Famous last words…I’ll get it done before 2010, I promise!

Download your theme’s update from your WordPress backend or go here:

Coronado
Daisy Gray
Green Apples
Tickled Pink
Zeeb

Happy blogging!

The first release candidate for 2.7 is out, and I’ve installed it on my dev server for testing. So far, so good! Also out soon is SimplePress forum’s new version, so it looks like I’m going to have a busy holiday.

As soon as the final version is released, I’ll be releasing the updates for Coronado, Green Apples, and Tickled Pink themes for WordPress 2.7, and have a fresh theme in the works. I’ve completed the Photoshop and template and am piecing it together with 2.7RC1.

On all themes, comment layout will change, to a more aesthetically pleasing look for the threaded comments.

On backwards-compatibility: Security demands that you keep your software updated. If you want 2.6 versions of the three themes already released, download them now. All themes from the Gardens will be for the latest version(s) of WordPress, which will soon be 2.7.

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 am very excited – I’m almost done with the first Rose City Gardens WordPress theme! It is finished, just a couple more tweaks and a few checks to make sure that it follows the WordPress guidelines, then it will be available for download! I’ll be making a matching Simple:Press skin of course!

For the new theme viewer, I used a fresh install of WordPress along with the plugin “Theme Switcher Reloaded” and it does the job very nicely!
