I wanted to kind of stay in line with WordPress, which is the reason for it. Plus, my favorite color is blue when it comes to Web design. <strong>Jigzaw</strong> I don't have a URI for the site yet. I'll write a new post to update everyone on the status of it. <strong>byron</strong> I'm lagging behind on the "blog" theme. Actually, I started two different normal blog themes, and the original has been pushed back. Right now, I'm working with a no-sidebar theme. It's been fun just playing around with the open space and typography in that type of theme. I've toned down the blue since this post in a few spots. Plus, I've added a couple of extra colors to spruce it up a bit. Still working on it though. Thanks for the feedback. seamus

The stuff you're building rocks! Sorry for gushing there. Seriously, I'm using Options on a couple of sites, frankly, it's like some sort of drug...once you start using it, you just can't stop...everything else loses its flavor. As for the Project M design. I love the clean layout and look. It is a bit too much like Wordpress or Lorelle for my tastes. I'm certainly no design genius, but a subtle tip of the hat to Wordpress and something all your own might be cool. That said, you could dress it up in pink candy stripes and I'd be there. Looking forward to seeing what you've done...particularly the new "Blog" like theme. Best regards, Byron Justin,

Just back from serious loss of hard drives - lost 3 out of 4! Even with very good backups that takes time to recover from. Message hard drives will fail, the only real question is when. BACKUP often everyone. I like the blue as well. Looking good Justin… Just back from serious loss of hard drives – lost 3 out of 4! Even with very good backups that takes time to recover from.

I probably wouldn't guarantee anything within a couple of months as this massive move of my WordPress stuff is taking a bit of time. Jigzaw Now corrected ;)

Right now, everything is just kind of a placeholder. OpenID implementation would have to be something I'd look into down the road. From what I can tell, it won't be something simple that I can add.

I think I made it back on WordPress 2.1 or something. I'll be going through all the old themes once Project M is up and running and re-releasing them. <strong>MhawSayer</strong> Thanks. I'm just trying to work out all the kinks with the bbPress stuff now. I hope to have this site up soon. <strong>K</strong> The ads won't be optional because I'll have to have some way to monetize the site. ;) I've tested out sidebar tabs with a few different looks, and I just don't think they'll work well with the overall feel of the site.

No clutter. simple. clean theme is what drives me crazy. The "ads" is optional right? How about sidebars tabs? Looking forward to this.
