Blossom Woes! Please update to v2.3!

Web Wench — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:44:56 +0000

I made an idiotic mistake – leaving the wrong bit of code out of most of the templates, and hardcoding the image in them, making it impossible to hide it as many people do. Hey, some of us just aren’t flower people, I get it!

Anyway, you can download Blossom 2.3 at WordPress.org. in a couple of days or download here at Rose City Gardens

Sorry for the boo-boo! It looked just awful I’m sure and I hope you’ll keep using Blossom for your WordPress blog!)

Note – I’ll be creating a support forum specifically for theme bugs and problems, with each new theme having it’s own topic. It’s a lot easier to keep up with requests on a forum for me, and the answers to questions will be there for future users to find.

All the best – again, please forgive this old web wench!

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!

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!
