I’ve just released a WordPress theme based on the Twilight movie.

Go check it out. If you have any questions or comments, please ask them or leave them on the theme page.

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

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.

After feedback from users and some minor tweaks, my Journalized Theme version 2.7 is finally released! The theme is no longer in beta and is ready for the big time.

A reminder of some of the new features:

• Comes with six built in ’skins’ (including the old Blue, Sand, and Winter)
• A new administration interface to configure the theme.
• Support for widgits, tags, and Gravatars
• Can be configured to have 1, 2, or 3 columns.
• Supports custom header image, including in the background
• and many more…

Go get it now!. As usual, leave feedback on the theme page please.

After nearly two years of inactivity, I have finally updated and released a new version of my Journalized Theme.

The theme includes support for WordPress 2.7 features, but is backwards compatible with WordPress 2.5 and 2.6

Just some of the new features:

• Comes with six built in ‘skins’ (including the old Blue, Sand, and Winter)
• A new administration interface to configure the theme.
• Support for widgets, tags, and Gravatars
• Can be configured to have 1, 2, or 3 columns.
• Supports custom header image, including in the background
• and many more…

Go check it out and let me know what you think. (Leave feedback on the theme page, not here)

I have released a minor update to my Journalized Theme version 2. This fixes issue where is didn’t save your options. Some people have reported this problem. Having found and fixed the bug, I cannot understand how it ever worked, unless WordPress’ get_settings() function has changed.
I have also included a fix for the slashes problem in the column headers, and a couple of minor cleanups. You can get it from here: journalized-theme-2.0-Beta-2.tar.gz or journalized-theme-2.0-Beta-2.zip .
The main page to leave comments about this is the Journalized Theme Version 2 page.

Remember this is still beta code. It is a minor update to the previous release. I have a lot more code written, but it is not complete or tested yet.

Update: I’ve put together a readme file listing the changes I made.

There is a new beta release of my Journalized theme for WordPress: Version 2.0 Beta 1.

There a few things different about this new version:

• All previous ‘skins’ (Blue, Sand, Winter) combined together
• Three new skins + more to come
• A new administration interface to configure the theme.
• All known browser bugs addressed
• Support for plugins
• Compatible with WordPress versions 1.5.x and 2.0.x
• Lots more to come

See the theme page for details. Please download it and give it a try.
