I just finished this WordPress theme. Here’s a screenshot:

This theme started as my own theme from scratch for WordPress 1.2. It worked in WordPress 1.5, but it was kinda lame there - not all things worked as they should have. I completely reworked the style sheet, changed the body a background image, reworked all the sidebar items (especially with the sidebar items that I like to use) and reworked a whole lot of the code. I modified it to be more like the Kubrick theme that is released as the default theme for WordPress 2.0.4. Kubrick is a great basis for theme development.

Also, I’ve made the theme widget-aware. Widgets are an easy way to format your sidebar in WordPress. By writing your functions in a certain way and by adding code in a certain way to your WordPress theme, you can use the WordPress Widgets plugin by Automattic to easily set up and modify your sidebar. To use this to its full extent, your theme has to be aware that the WW plugin is installed. The Iowa Autumn 1 theme is widgetized and takes full advantage of widgets. I’ve thrown in a few widgets of my own but they are dependent upon other plugins; I’ve taken that into consideration and only the usable widgets are offered for the user.

You can download the theme by clicking here. Or you can go to the My Mods page and download any of my themes or plugins.
