The first release candidate for 2.7 is out, and I’ve installed it on my dev server for testing. So far, so good! Also out soon is SimplePress forum’s new version, so it looks like I’m going to have a busy holiday.

As soon as the final version is released, I’ll be releasing the updates for Coronado, Green Apples, and Tickled Pink, and have a fresh theme in the works. I’ve completed the Photoshop and template and am piecing it together with 2.7RC1.

On all themes, comment layout will change, to a more aesthetically pleasing look for the threaded comments.

On backwards-compatibility: Security demands that you keep your software updated. If you want 2.6 versions of the three themes already released, download them now. All themes from the Gardens will be for the latest version(s) of WordPress, which will soon be 2.7.

The pre-2.7 version of Coronado has been released and is available for download at WordPress.org.

There are some necessary changes to be made to the Garden’s themes when version 2.7 of WordPress is released. I haven’t yet decided if I will make the themes backwards-compatible or not, but am leaning towards not. So if you want to have 2.6.xx versions of our themes, download them now - the compatible versions will be released as soon as WordPress 2.7 debuts.

I just uploaded a new theme to WordPress.org called Coronado. It’s based on a lovely photograph of Coronado, California - a misty pink and purple sky over a shimmering blue sea. Click the screenshot to see the demo.

This should be approved soon - stay tuned! Also coming, updated stylesheets for Green Apples and Tickled Pink.

Tickled Pink 2.0 has been released and can be downloaded at WordPress.org.

This theme is pink, white and gray, fresh, sassy and feminine. It’s ideal for a personal blog - pink but not too pink, sweet but not saccharine!

I’ve already noticed 2 tiny flaws in the list styling. I’ll post the correction here but wait for more feedback before I upload an updated stylesheet. Read on to see how you can fix it (if you have nested lists; if not, don’t bother)

Tickled Pink is a two-column, fixed width theme with a two-level CSS page menu. It is coded to be very search engine friendly, with proper use of heading tags and sidebar lists. Included is a one column page template.

Coming soon: a matching forum skin for SimplePress forum.
