on August 29th, 2007WordPress 2.3 and MistyLook 3.5

screenshot1.jpgThey have released a beta version of WordPress 2.3.

I was testing it on my local install and it definitely looks much more promising. Inclusion of “Tags” feature to the core system is one of the major improvements.

At the same time, MistyLook 3.4 needed some tweaks for it to work properly in WP 2.3 and so I am in the process of making MistyLook 3.5.
If you are interested in trying it out, just leave a comment here, and I will send you the version by email.

Thanks.

on August 23rd, 2007“Be Right Back” WordPress Theme

Once in a while, you want to put your blog into a maintenance mode and fix some of the things in the backend.

I know there are plugins available like this one, but I use a small custom theme, whenever I want to set my blog into such a mode.

I called it a “BRB [Be Right Back] Theme” and now I make it available for everyone.
It looks like this.

on August 20th, 2007Contest Number One : Results

Thanks to Everyone who has participated in my contest to name my theme !. This contest pulled more entries than I really anticipated.

Just like me, most people saw some kind of
“Hope for the Future”,
“A new Beginning”,
“A Glorious Start” and
“Divinity” in that header image and that header image was the inspiration for many of names suggested by the participants.

I did feel the same thing when I first looked in that image, in one of the Free CSS Templates.
I was trying many different header images while developing this theme and I felt a completeness when I put this image into it.

After going through the list of names, Finally I decided to go with “Glorious Day” as a name for this theme.

It was not the one suggested by anyone, but the following entries were helpful in arriving at this name.

  1. Blessed day - suggested by Raquel
  2. Holy Light - suggested by Jochen Van de Velde
  3. Majestic Glory- suggested by Dave J. (Scoop0901)

I would like to congratulate these 3 people as they are the winners of this contest.
They can choose any one of the Premium WordPress Themes at my Shop.
Winners please contact me off line with the name of the theme you want, I will send it to you by email.

The theme will be made available to the general public on September 1st 2007 at the Free Themes section of the shop.

Again Thanks to all the participants and I wish you all the best of luck, in the next contest, coming up soon.

Enjoy !
