How pathetic. Template Monster, testing the blog theme waters, is offering up 5 new themes free for download, the only caveat is a 5 question survey before downloading.
But here’s the kicker. One theme, is “inspired” by CSS Guru Cameron Moll, alas the design is in tables, TABLES!?!?
Point of suggestion Template Monster, get with the program.
A sharp new theme from jtk consulting, inspired by what I can only imagine is an “eye opening” beverage. A two column, left hand sidebar design intended for one of the theme competitions out there, it sports some very eye catching design elements. Good luck to them in their competition, and thanks for sharing. Definitely worth a look.
For plugin authors and would be authors, or just those looking to learn more about getting under the hood of WP, Abhijit explains some of the newer features of WP, and asks some good questions regarding their use, and their future.
From the author of the brilliant plugin tying your feedburner into WP, comes this informative tutorial on adding an animated live search to your blog.
A plugin to AJAX-ify any element on your blog and allow a visitor to drag and drop that element. Not sure of practicality, but in the trend to make things oh so web 2.0, this is just another tool for WP users to employ. And kudos to the author for getting the spirit of the community and sharing another of his creations.
Has done a good job in porting the open-source design to WP. A two column theme with right hand sidebar, it could easily be used for a business/corporate blog. However some smart design elements could make the theme attractive to anyone.
Another playful theme from the simplycute team. A two column, right hand sidebar, this theme features some whimsical animals in the header, and a green background and color scheme.
Has released a new update. I haven’t had a chance to read the release notes, but I’m sure this is something to tweak against the most recent rash of spam that came around. While you are there downloading, I highly suggest making a donation, be what you can. This piece of ware is well used in most WP installs, and a $$ love doesn’t hurt. Any plugin that you rely on for that matter. Be it $$ via paypal, or buy something off a wishlist, we as a community should try and give back to those who work hard and share their creations. Heck, even a personal email thanking them, or blogging about the plugin, something to let them know you appreciate the work.
It seems the brilliant minds behind the machina that is WP are hard at work on 2.1, and you can read asymptomatic’s take on the initial changes. Especially pay attention to the comments, and Owen’s discussion of plugins, and a plan to protect your blog on upgrades. I will be approaching Owen shortly to see if he’ll be interested in being the subject of the next interview, as he comes on Skippy’s recommendation. Plus, I’d like to know more about the bloggers/WordPress meetups he attends there in his neck of the woods.
