This is my dumping grounds for all things WordPress. I’ll post themes, plugins, tutorials, and hacks under this topic. Have a look around. There’s plenty for everybody.
I’ve heard a lot of moaning and complaining about the new WordPress dashboard. Some of these complaints are valid, such as the need for the dashboard to be either centered or fluid-width for users with larger screens.
I want to argue the other side of one of the major complaints I’ve read about — the widgets panel. And, I’m the last person one might expect to defend anything 2.5-related after my recent upgrade hassles.
I know quite a few of you have been waiting for me to deliver on my promise in the forums to put up a showcase of your work, so here it is — the best mods of the Options theme.
I finally finished this thing.
I could probably work on it another week or two and never be fully satisfied. It seems that every moment longer I work on it, I learn something new. I figured I’d better just go ahead and release this version, or I’ll be working for the next half year and [...]
I think some of you have already noticed that I didn’t release the latest version of the Options theme by the end of the week.
Don’t fret. I’ve been hard at work. Really, really hard. Now, that should excuse me from releasing this thing, right?
When will I release it? Very soon.

So, what’s this all about?
The Options WordPress theme is almost out of beta. I’ve foregone some of the planned smaller releases and am jumping ahead to the official release this week.
With over 6,000 downloads of the beta version, I’ve [...]
I was recently asked to participate along with quite a few other designers in answering a not-so-simple question — Where will WordPress themes go in the future?
Ian Stewart put together a panel of leaders in the WordPress theming community to answer this question, and I was happy to participate. We all added our opinions about The [...]
One of the things I’ve wanted to address is whether the Options theme is just another magazine theme. This theme isn’t meant to be only a magazine theme but a theme for anyone.
Did I promote it as a magazine theme? Certainly, at least on the demo page. Magazine-styled themes are “hot” right [...]

I’m not even sure where to begin when I type “features” because it would be a daunting task to type them all out. Here’s some things you can play around with, but there’s so much more you can do.

If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to lately — like not keeping on a regular blogging schedule — then you should know that I’ve been hard at work on a new WordPress theme.
I present to you the Options Theme. Here’s a live demo.
What you see there is only a small sampling of what the new theme [...]
It’s time for round 2 of the Project Community Theme — the theme where you create the design and I code it. And this time, we’ll discuss design.
Put your designer-thinking caps on and get ready to discuss how you want this thing to look.
Thus far, I’ve gotten a lot of interesting ideas about functionality (which we’ll cover [...]
