Hurray! My first ever public theme has been approved and aired at the WordPress Themes Directory! So I’ll start off with a little background, making-of, submitting the theme and of course the reviewing process. From start to finish — getting your theme to the WordPress directory ;) But first, a few screenshots of Minimal Georgia! Isn’t it lovely? There’s a red, blue...
A List of Awesome WordPress Blogs to Follow
Whether you’re a WordPress expert, beginner or simply a blogger running WordPress, WordPress MU, BuddyPress or any others, here’s a little list of WordPress blogs that you should definitely follow (not mentioning the WordPress Development Blog and Matt Mullenweg’s Blog, and maybe #wordpress on Twitter, I assume you’re following them since your first ever WordPress...
While Everyone's Been Waiting for WordPress 2.9
I’ve been using it! Okay, so I’m not going to talk about all the great stuff coming up in 2.9, all the bugs they’ve fixed, all the features they’ve added, no. I’d just like to tell you about my experience running a step ahead of everybody else. When WordPress has made the switch from 2.7 to 2.8 I’ve decided to risk it and take the 2.9 path. I’m not sure...
And Yet Another WordPress Theme for Inspiration ;)
My brand new creation: The Foller.me Theme for WordPress and I ain’t releasing it public ;)
Multiple Sites Driven By One WordPress Installation
This is early experimental. And, I’ve also marked this post into the “personal” category, because you wouldn’t want your clients to have too much access, especially if they share a single WordPress installation. Now I know there’s the WordPress MU project, but I guess I can’t use it in this case, because WordPress MU assumes your URLs will be within the same...
Interview: The Woo is a Mix of w00t & WordPress
I’ve managed to chat with one of the three founders of WooThemes lately – Adii Pienaar. Adii was very busy during the last couple of weeks with the Woo2 Release, but he was still so kind to answer some questions I had, so here we go: @kovshenin Okay Adii, how are things going at WooThemes right now? I mean after WordPress has released 2.8 and most of your clients have upgraded (I...
SquareSpace, Thesis and Back to WordPress
Yup, that’s the way it generally goes. I finally got myself an account at SquareSpace to play around with, and I poked the Thesis Framework a couple of months ago, so I now got to a conclusion – I’m not satisfied with any of those. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with SquareSpace, it’s a very neat and highly customizable blogging platform. I liked playing around...
The WP-Custom plugin. What's it all about?
You heard the news! My WP-Custom plugin got WordPress.org hosting approval a few days ago. So I finally uploaded it into their plugins repo and already got some positive feedback on Twitter and IM. Anyways, some still can’t figure out what I made the plugin for, so here’s some explenation. I assume that you’ve read the plugin description on the wordpress.org website or the...
WordPress: Theme Design Tips & Tricks
Greets. If you never did a WordPress theme before, then this post is for you. As you may already know, I released my very first wordpress theme a couple of weeks ago and it’s the one you’re looking at right now (unless you’re reading this from last year’s archive). I can’t say it was very easy developing it, but I noted down some tips that would make the process...
Blog Redesigned: Hi, This is the New Me!
Done! Wohooo! That seemed to take forever but my brand new WordPress theme is now complete and polished. Apperantly this is my first ever WordPress theme done from scratch. I started sketching like a week ago in Corel PaintShop Pro X2 (btw I don’t like to do Photoshop ’cause I’ve been using PaintShop Pro for around 6 years and got pretty much used to it. Looking forward to Adobe...
