Blog It 750 Dark WordPress Theme

Someone requested a dark version of the Blog It 750 theme, so since I had a few minutes this afternoon, I went ahead and did it.

Here’s a screenshot:

Everything is the same as the Blog It 750 theme, except the color. Enjoy!

Blog It 750 Theme Released

I’ve been testing this theme for some time and I feel that it is now ready for release. It’s a two column minimalistic theme with the sidebar on the right. The sidebar is the perfect width to place two 125×125 ads side-by-side.

The class for aligning pictures is “left” or “right” depending on what you want. If you’re looking to place it in the center like above, then wrap the image tag in a

<div align="center"> </div>

or add a center class to style.css. It’s up to you how you want to handle that.

As for typography, here’s a sample:

This is the H1 tag

This is the H2 tag

This is the H3 tag

This is the H4 tag

This is the H5 tag

And Finally H6 tag

The margins and padding are set to 0 (zero) for each of these, so if you use them make sure that you also include a line break (< br />) after you use them to allow for proper spacing.

Here’s the download link: Blog It 750

Of course, if you like black instead of white, we have that too:

Or perhaps you like black and red instead:

These are, of course, released under the GPL. I would appreciate it if you kept the link in the footer though. Have fun with them!

Black and Red, Black and Blue Themes Updated

I’ve updated both of these themes due to an issue where WordPress doesn’t like the & sign in the name. Thanks goes to mgn of Techwizards for pointing this out. You can download the latest versions from the Free WordPress Themes page.

Testing Another Theme

I’m currently testing another new theme on this site that I made for another site that I run. Well, actually there are some differences…

The theme for the other site is actually wider than this one and has one more sidebar. I just thought that I would make a version that would fit on a 800×600 screen for kicks.

I don’t have a name for this one since I haven’t decided on whether or not I’m going to release it. Does anyone want to suggest one?

Testing This Theme…

I’ve just finished working on this theme, “Dark Matter”, for my wife’s blog, and so I’m testing it here prior to uploading it to her site. If someone who owns a Mac and/or uses a browser other than Firefox and IE7 could tell me how it looks, I’d appreciate it.

I’m not a fan of dark themes (my wife is), but I think it looks ok. What do you think?

*UPDATE*
Forgot to mention, for her site, the link color is actually white instead of the dark orange, since she hated the orange. :)

Black & Red Theme

Since I couldn’t think of a better name, here’s the Black & Red Theme that was created during the tutorial on Creating Your Own WordPress Theme. There are no restrictions on usage since it’s released under the GPL, but I would appreciate you keeping the link in the footer. Other than that, I hope it helps you to create your own themes.

Download the Black & Red Theme

*UPDATE*

I updated the file to reflect the changes that I’ve made on the main index page for the famfamfam silk icons and how pages are displayed. Also, for those of you who don’t like red (the red was making my eyes bleed :smile: ) there is now a blue option.

Download the Black & Blue Theme

*UPDATE AGAIN*

Updated both files to remove the double Tags on single.php.

Creating Your Own WordPress Theme Part 5

In Creating Your Own WordPress Theme Part 4 we began adjusting the css to reflect what we want. In this part, we’ll wrap up this tutorial with a completed theme. There will probably be quite a few changes and this will be rather long. Hopefully we’ll have something a little unique when we’re done.

We’ll be working on the sidebars, comment area, footer, and making a few adjustments to several of the php files to make it all come together.

Let’s get started…
