Yesterday I spend a little time playing around with my WordPress theme here, looking at adding widgets to themes that didn’t come “pre-designed” with them in mind. Thankfully for people like me Automattic has a great tutorial on how to get this done. Along with adding a few more features, support for gravatars and a third column I promise this version of the layout has 10% more awesomeness.
When looking at your basic FTP file listing in a browser, it can be a ‘bit on the dull and boring side. Why not spice that up with a custom user style? If you have Stylish for Firefox installed - and pick up the “FTP pages were awful” style you could even make them look this pretty…
No more ugly black and white boring listings for me, I like this much better. Not only does it look better but it is also much more functional too.
Lunarpages is putting on another WordPress theme design contest! The last one was fun as an innocent bystander because I got to see tons of unique and awesome designs day by day. Here are the details for this time around.
The rules have changed a bit to include mention of the exact schedule for voting and submissions (also noted below) as well as voting by Lunarpages Staff, ensuring all votes are tracked and accounted for.
