new wordpress 2.0 theme: stuttering

stuttering 1.5 is completely compatible with wordpress 2.0! the new version (stuttering 2.0, dec 24, 2005) merely includes a thumbnail image for the new presentation area in wordpress

lots of bug fixes on latest version, updated 6 april 2005!

So, I’ve taken some advice and calls for help with the last theme I developed (for this blog), and went ahead and designed another one, loosely based on it. (procrastination….) Free as in beer! Hope you like it. Installation is super easy (standard drop-in theme), and I even put in instructions for graphic changes (top) and blog title size changes (or even how to make the whole top graphic a link, if you want to use a non web-safe font in your image).

The top is an include, so if savvy, you can go in and do as you see fit (menu, perhaps?). Any questions? Comment or contact.

Be sure your ftp application is set to “text” or “ascii” or “automatic” when you upload! Otherwise, it gets all weird looking in the admin panel….

NAN upgrade

I apologize for the inconvenience to those of you who have already downloaded and/or made changes to my theme – note that these changes are only to the index.php file, so you may use your updated CSS files – and graphic.php and graphic.jpg files – as you see fit. It seems there was a minor bug in the index.php file, where it needed “next page” and “previous page” links in its categories and heavy months. I’ve also added this to the main index page, for the people who pop in and just want to keep reading back in time. While I was at it, I added a little feature that now lists the number of posts to any category next to its link in the menu. And finally, I added in support for if you use wordpress’ new feature to make pages! These should get listed just above the search bar in the menu.

Thanks to wordpress support for the help!

As always, download the theme from this post.

wordpress theme for wordpress 1.5: NAN

NAN 1.5 is completely compatible with wordpress 2.0! the new version (NAN 2.0, dec 24, 2005) merely includes a thumbnail image for the new presentation area in wordpress

Note that I have discontinued the yellow version of the NAN theme, as it was not very popular; in fact, although it was the original color, even I stopped using it ;)

lots of bug fixes on latest version, updated 6 april 2005!

Well it’s the 2nd birthday for the nathaniel and the non-aggressive blog, and I thought I’d give a little gift to my dedicated readers (if I have any of those).

The new, improved and free NAN theme! New! also check out my latest theme: stuttering

That’s right! Now you, too can make a blog that looks just like (er, something like) this. It’s download-able, with easy instructions on how to insert your own image or menu up top (instead of my own flash menu), and in two colors: the original yellow (as displayed here), and white. It looks good on all browsers (i know of), and all you need is WordPress 1.5 installed, and access to your server.

The white looks just like this blog, but if you want images, try something like this:

Of course, you could go in and change colors yourself, and adapt the stylesheet as you see fit, but I wanted to make this REALLY easy for non-coders, too. All these folks really need to do is make an image to overwrite the default banner (up top – put the name of your blog in it), then plop the whole NAN folder into your own themes folder (located in wp-content), and turn it on.

Advanced coders: the top graphic is an include, so if you want a menu like mine, all you have to do is open up one php file and paste in a working menu, as you see fit!

Instructions are included in the download (~30kb each). Be sure your ftp application is set to “text” or “ascii” or “automatic” when you upload! Otherwise, it gets all weird looking in the admin panel….

Enjoy, and happy birthday NAN!
