Zeeb Theme Released

Web Wench — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:28:07 +0000

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!

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!
