Not because of the oscar results (it was about time that M. Scorsese got one) but more of what I found in my Technorati this morning. I indeed discovered that some guy is using Andromeda as a template for his site. While I’m flattered that this theme is of some interest for someone, it’s NOT released yet. And using unreleased material without agreement is not allowed by the studio. I posted a message to this person and he has not answered yet. If that happens again, I’ll remove all the demo of the themes in progress.
As Steve smith says:

Don’t steal my stuff, it’s bad karma.

With the presidential election approaching here in France, everything is about survey, polls, votes, etc… So I guess that this put me in the mood for a little poll regarding my wp-themes.

I indeed received quite a few emails regarding the release date of this or this theme and that this or this theme should be released first. While the next one on the list should be (I said should, so nothing certain here..) Andromeda (because it’s the more advanced coding wise), I haven’t decided yet in which order, I should develop all the mockups I featured on the site. To help me make a choice, I’m counting on you by voting on the poll found on the sidebar of the main page. Thank you ;)

It just came to my attention that the plugin, Del.icio.us Integrator, that comes with each of my themes in the plugin package is acting up. it seems to be working only from time to time.

While I’ m trying to find a replacement for this type of plugin which allows to get your del.icio.us bookmarks on your site (I’m testing out a few at the moment), I would recommend to the people who downloaded the themes, not to use it anymore. I’ll keep you posted when I find the right candidate. Sorry for the inconvenience.

While this site primary proposal is to offer wordpress themes, I decided it would be good (or of interest) for the readers of this blog to also write tips or even tutorials about Wordpress, its structure, the way it works and how to use, modify, improve or make themes.

The type of articles I intend to write are not obviously for developers or experienced theme makers but more for Wordpress enthusiasts who are interested in learning more about this CMS.

Today’s tutorial will be about controlling the appearance and the behavior of plugins by a few lines of code. This tip is really basic php coding and even if you’re allergic to this language, don’t be afraid, it will be smooth and easy;) Read the rest of this entry »
