I found the Codelog theme by Alex Günsche two or three weeks ago and have been banging on it to make it do what I want.  I’m almost there, but I think my changes are useful enough to release. The two biggest changes I made were to make the theme widget-aware and to support both fixed- [...]

I’ve been on the prowl for a new theme for this blog and I may just have found it.  The Codelog theme by Alex Günsche is simple yet elegant.  With just a little bit of customization, I was able to get the results I was looking for. Overall Grade: A Theme URI: http://www.codelog.net/codelog-theme/ Version: 0.1 Description: A lightweight and stylish two-column theme. Author: Alex [...]

I’m a big fan of customization, particularly through the admin UI.  One reason is I host multiple sites from the same set of files using the multi-blogging solution and each site may want to have different features.  The 1 Blog Theme by Javier García is one of the most customizable themes I’ve run into so [...]

I solved the problem with using the WP-Email plugin in the FallSeason theme.  The problem was that when checking to see if there are any posts, several templates (index.php, page.php, and single.php) were checking this way: if ($posts) The correct way to check for posts is to do this instead: if (have_posts()) Changing that one line in those templates [...]

Here is a summary of the changes (which I’ve also added to the modifications post): Added support for Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan’s WP-PostNav plugin. Added navigation to the previous and next post to the top of single posts (like in the [...]

I’ve spent a bunch of time tweaking the FallSeason WordPress Theme by Sadish Bala to work for me, and I’m pretty happy with the results.  I’ve left all the identifying information virtually intact, but I have changed the version number and added my name as a modifier so that the resulting theme can be distinguished [...]

This is a very attractive theme, one I will likely switch one or more of my blogs to.  The author did a very nice job with the banner image - it looks like it expands naturally with a very well blended break. EDIT:  As of today (9/20), I’m currently using an incarnation of the FallSeason theme [...]

I really like this theme. I’ve been using it as my main theme for both my personal and technical blogs for most of the time I’ve been using WordPress (almost 2 weeks now ). What really caught my eye right off was that title popups are displayed with transparency. It just [...]
