Finally, after many years, I’m getting this theme (Dog Blog) updated!

Talk about bringing it from the stone age, this was one of my first wordpress themes, so it’s a little old. It was for a site called The Snood Factory but now the blog section appears to have been removed. Not sure if Jan kept up with it or not.

Now updated for WP 3.0 it’s looking much better thankfully. Just finishing it up right now and it will get updated for a new download. You can see it by looking for the theme switcher near the bottom of the post and clicking on ‘Dog Blog’ – it sets the theme for 10 minutes (currently no way to override it except by changing the theme back to GlassFlare).

    Thanks! Nice compliment there, and yes, I do love messing around with WordPress. Of course, it drives me nuts sometimes ...

So I’ve been burning the midnight oil for the past week or so on lots of work, but last night and tonight it’s been on a new Thesis child theme that I’ve been concentrating on. It’s a port of my OpenAir WordPress Theme to the Thesis framework. I mean, I’ve moved it over to Drupal, so why not to Thesis? You can see it in action on my test site for my Thesis themes.

Just one or two little things that are driving me up the wall, but if I do 30 minutes here, an hour there, I’ll get it ready. It should be up and running in the next day or two! I’ll post when it’s done.

In the meantime though, I’m already starting to think about the next one that will be ported over. Perhaps a Paypal Thesis theme? :)

    As per messaging conversation, I believe this is premium worthy. :P That's my opinion, and you're entitled to it.
  • richard
    I wasn't actually sure whether to release it for free or as a premium theme. What do you think?

This is something I’ve been working on for some time now, and only in the past couple of week have I really had the time, and effort, to finish it up – the Natural Green WordPress Theme. So this is the debut so to speak, to iron out any kinks I, or you, may encounter. If you notice something please comment about it on this thread.

Just one or two more refinements and you’ll be able to get it, promise!

I have had a request from someone to take my to Drupal and so over the past week I have been messing around with it. Although I think that Drupal is a bit more complex than WordPress for theming purposes, and I am far more comfortable with WP, I think I could get used to it and maybe port a few more themes over.

One of the things I’ve noticed is that the Drupal has the administration theme built in to the overall theme package, if you want it. Not a good thing though, from my perspective. The themes I’ve been examining to find out how they did it, have all the css mixed in and not in what I would call order. Picky I know, but I like the page structure to come first, then the bits and pieces like text, links etc.,

Should be finished soon anyway, and I’ve been testing it on testblog6.

Just noticed something that was a bit strange.

Inside WP when you’re looking at the comments allowed by the system, you can click on ‘reply’ and actually reply inside the WP admin. So the system must recognize you as being logged in (as admin in my case).

I replied, clicked on submit reply, then strangely it said my comment had been flagged as spam.

So why would it say that when I’m logged in as admin? Surely the system should be designed to let admin comments go through automatically? Seems like a bit of an oversight to me, not to check that when it’s the admin filling in the reply inside the administration panel?
