I, like many developers and designers out there, am so damned tired of IE6.

Can’t people move on and get themselves a decent modern browser? It is literally a click away. Opera and FireFox are so easy to install and get running, I installed Opera on a machine the other day and it was as simple as one click to download and one or two to install.

IE6‘s problems with css cause so many headaches, it’s a real ball ache.

Several months ago I was approached to port one of my WordPress themes () to Drupal. Bear in mind I’d never played with Drupal whatsoever, but I said yes just to get some experience. It worked well, although there are some things that can’t be done, with my level of knowledge at this point, at least. I imagine I’ll learn more soon and catch up.

So this weekend, I was asked to give a chat on Skype on how I ported the WP theme to Drupal, so it will be this Saturday afternoon sometime. The Drupal camp is in Portland Oregon I believe. Should be interesting.

Getting in the spirit of things, I’m going to be porting another one of my WP themes to Drupal tomorrow to get ready for this, going over some of the things I’ve done so I know what I’m talking about. I’m thinking a fairly easy theme, like , or .

So I’ve finally got around to releasing this theme. Thanks to those who helped out. Thanks to Mac for persuading me to put it up as a premium theme.

There are a couple of bits and pieces that I will be updating on it, possibly adding another menu item along the bottom menu bar, making it something settable in the admin backend. But that’s for another day.

For now, on to other themes and updating them for WP-2.8 and that’s quite a few!

Anyway, take a look at the theme release page: , released as a premium theme, for sale for £29.95 (that’s about $40 or so). Not bad for such a unique theme!

    As per messaging conversation, I believe this is premium worthy. :P That's my opinion, and you're entitled to it.

    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!

Just got finished with my new theme, although it has been working for some time on my main site. The is a highly configurable three column theme, allowing the blog owner to set where the sidebars appear, as well as other options such as comments, posted-by, tags and so on.

More will follow as I finish up the accompanying BBPress Theme and Admin Theme.

I am pretty happy with the progress of my new theme on my main site. It’s called ‘Ikon’ and will be a premium wordpress theme release, with hopefully, a soon-to-be-completed bbpress theme as well.

BBpress isn’t such a strong point for me as wordpress but hopefully with this theme under my belt as well as others, I’ll add that feather to my cap and get more in tune with it. Time will tell, I’m going to try to finish it off tonight!

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.

This blog is going through a few updates. This is because I’ve finally decided to get off my arse and finish off the theme, and for that matter, to fully integrate the bbpress installation that sites underneath it. So it will be a combined wordpress/bbpress theme, which can be downloaded as one, or separately. When I’m done I’ll post it.

I was thinking of naming the theme after the painting, The Son of Man. Good idea?

I posted this on my main blog (business only) but over this Bank Holiday weekend I have finished off a theme I have been working on for a week now. I’ve had the image and font for a little while now, but finally got the theme done. It’s called and is a grunge-style look – you can see it in action .

I loved the background image, having both a natural look (grunge can still be natural!) and a post-industrial look. Take a look anyway, see what you think.

The final piece to this theme is now in place – the login page! This has been themed to suit the Reclamation theme itself, and is included in the zip file, all the wordpress admin needs to do is back up their wp-login.php file and replace it with the one in the zip.
