WordPress and Twitter fans, rejoice! Now available: Prologue, a Twitterlike theme for WordPress that’s ideal for groups of 3-15 to post short updates to each other. Downside: if you don’t have access to SVN, you have to download each theme file separately, since the boys at Automattic neglected to bundle them in a tidy .zip [...]

Bluesands 2.0
With thanks to Rob for pointing me in the right direction, Shamus Writes is now sporting a modified, Web 2.0-ish look. I contacted Ant Eksiler, who is giving away free custom WordPress themes to folks who meet a certain set of criteria, and he took my Bluesands theme and tweaked it to give it a [...]
bb-BlueSands for bbPress
I finally finished up my bb-Bluesands theme for bbPress that complements my Bluesands theme for WordPress. I’ve been working at this in fits and starts for the last several weeks and just put the finishing touches on it today. If you want to see what it looks like live, step over the forum and check [...]
Tumble Shamus
My tumblelog is officially up and in working condition. I’m using the T1 theme, which is built on the wonderful Sandbox, much to my great joy. I did modify the theme somewhat, though, removing the default T1 image in the header and restoring the bloginfo(‘name’) and bloginfo(‘description’) fields to their proper places. I also brought [...]
BlueSands Numbers
I’ve got to say that my site’s stats from yesterday alone make my numbers from the rest of the month look paltry by comparison – nearly 1000 hits yesterday, mostly directed at my BlueSands WordPress theme. The next closest day this month is around 140 hits. Quite the margin of difference. Of course, it helps that I [...]
WordPress Theme: BlueSands
BlueSands for WordPress is finally ready for release. It’s a 3-column, widget-ready theme with a fluid width main content area and is built on the famous Sandbox theme. As a result, BlueSands has much of the powerful markup that Sandbox has become known for, including special classes for preformatted text, code, and definition lists.
BlueSands also [...]
BlueSands
I’ve been working pretty steadily over the last several days to complete the theme that now adorns this blog. At this point, I’d say it’s about 90% complete. The 10% that remains involves a whole lot of tweaking and validating code before it’s ready for public release. I’m pretty excited about it. This is only [...]
Bit by the Coding Bug
I’m getting my inner geek on – again. I spent the majority of my day today trying to figure out how to crosspost from WordPress to MySpace. I’d found a hack that looked like it had potential that I messed with for quite a while, but so far I’ve had no success in getting it to run, [...]
Resetting HTML
I’ve recently discovered the wonderfully marked-up Sandbox theme for WordPress and, in so doing, discovered the inspiration to build another theme for myself. But I also discovered rather quickly that there were a few minor problems with things not spreading out to the furthest edges of the browser. So I sought help and found that [...]
Theming
One of the advantages of being flat on one’s back is I’ve had time to do a little WordPress theme design the last couple of days. I volunteered to host and build a new website for my parents’ church – the one they had before was, quite frankly, a ghastly design and layout and difficult to update [...]
