Here it is, my newest theme. The one I’ve been working on for a while. I finally figured out how to style the tag cloud in order to get the tag cloud to fit “inside” the area.

Anyway, there’s a story behind this one. I was looking at my kids’ senior pictures a couple of weeks ago and decided I really like the look of the “centerpiece” frames we got for them. You see, these frames hold one 8″x10″ picture and four of the 4″x6″ proofs. They really look nice with rounded edges on the oak border around the pictures. That’s when it hit me: “Hey, I could make a WordPress theme that looks like that!” So I set about creating such a look. The disaster happened shortly after I began when I lost my USB flash drive with all the preliminary work on it. So much for backups, huh?

So the end result is what you see here. Wooden Picture Frame. If you like it, it is available for download here. The wiki article describing the theme and additional download links is here.

It was about time. The flood waters are receding here. Everything is still kind of brown and “river-stinky” if you know what I mean. But it was time to change themes. Plus, with baseball season in full swing (pun intended!) and the great history-making run by Fresno State to be the lowest ranked team to ever win an Division I NCAA tournament of any kind and to set records for runs scored in the College World Series, I simply HAD to change it to the Baseball theme!

I spent some time last night cleaning up and adding the finishing touches to the last three themes that I have created. They are now available for download here on my site. I was going to upload them to the WordPress Theme Viewer, but it seems that they are not yet accepting uploads. (Since December of 2007?!!)

Anyway, the themes are titled Lazy River, Office Use Only and Iowa Spring 1 (which is my current theme). You can either click on the “WP Mods Wiki” button on the navigation bar at the top of the page or you can click on the links here to get to the wiki page for the themes. Enjoy!

Finally! I’ve been working on this theme for what seems like FOREVER! So I’m unveiling it a bit early. Here it is folks: My Iowa Spring 1 theme! Anyway, I still need to do some tweaking with it; especially where certain plugins fit in with it. I want it to recognize an use certain plugins that pertain to the display and have to write that in to certain files in the PHP programming. But it’s complete enough that I can put it out there and start using it. I hope to have the tweaks done in the next couple of weeks. After that I’ll make it available for download on my site.

Let me know what you think!
