FreshPress Themes

What more can I say except that the Title Says It All.

OK, so this theme is all about giving importance to the one thing that either makes or breaks your post, Your Title. A lot of bloggers, me included, cannot stress enough how important a good title is for your posts. I tend to spend at least 10 - 15 minutes thinking up one, by the time I’m done with my post I’ve probably revised it like 3 or 4 times. If not more.

So yeah, Titles Are Important! (more…)

Justin Tadlock, who’s work I admire, posted over on his blog about something that I’ve been thinking about myself for quite some time.

Killing the Sidebar.

WordPress enables us to widgetize virtually any area of our blog, so why exactly do you want to call a widgetized footer as a “Footer Sidebar” or similarly if it was in the header section as a “Header Sidebar”?

The only thing limiting many theme developers from using widgets in a whole new fashion is probably the methodology to implement them. Naming sidebars is probably the best option to do so, but in some of my trials I’ve noticed that if you are using a theme with “named” widget areas, for example - “footer widget”, “header widget” and so on, and if you revert back to a theme, or upgrade to a new one, that doesn’t use a naming architecture then chances are you will have a lot of changes to make to your blog.

Justin has some code that takes a try in helping out with the process, I’ll give it a shot in one of my themes and see how it shapes up.

WOW! I’m just amazed that FreshPressThemes has taken off so well within the first three weeks of it’s launch! I’ve never had such a response to any of my other startups/websites in the past.

I just wanted to make a quick post to thank all those who have linked back, downloaded themes, and especially those that have donated for the themes they’ve downloaded.

Trust me, there’s a lot more still to come. I’ve only just begun. I’ve also lined up some tutorials that will help WordPress developers and anyone else looking at customizing their themes themselves.

Right, back to designing more themes…
