As a sea­sonal treat I have released the Xmas Skin I occa­sion­ally use on this blog as an extra skin for my Journ­al­ized theme.

click for a lar­ger image.

You can down­load the xmas skin here:
xmas-skin-2.7.1.zip.

• Once you have down­loaded it. Unzip it, then upload the files to your journalized/skins directory.
• Go to Appear­ance -> Journ­al­ized Options in the admin screen, and select the new skin.
• If you want a pic­ture of Santa to appear along side your blog title, type ‘santa.gif’ into the ‘Header Image’ box and uncheck both ‘Add the image in the back­ground’ and ‘Turn off the blog title’.
• If you want your header to be full width, check that box and set header image height to be 138 pixels (that worked for me)
• Finally save your set­tings and you are done

I hope you enjoy this bit of sea­sonal frivolity.

The Journ­al­ized theme has been updated to ver­sion 2.7.1. This ver­sion fixes a couple of bugs in WordPress ver­sions earlier than 2.7 (thanks Bill and Mike Walsh) and I’ve added Author posts links wherever necessary.

I’m still work­ing on the trans­lat­able ver­sion of the theme. There may well be another release soon.
