I still have to pretty up the forms and form buttons, but the new skin for the Garden’s forums is finished - have a look and tell me what you think!

I used Sweetie Web Icons and FamFamFam Silk for most of the icons. When I track down the makers of the group, forum and topic icons and verify that it is okay, I will release the skin, or find GPL or CC icons to complete the release.

In closing, I upgraded to 2.6, painlessly. I hear that those using the automatic upgrade plugin had troubles - I’m glad I didn’t have time to install it!

I am very excited - I’m almost done with the first Rose City Gardens WordPress theme! It is finished, just a couple more tweaks and a few checks to make sure that it follows the WordPress guidelines, then it will be available for download! I’ll be making a matching Simple:Press skin of course!

For the new theme viewer, I used a fresh install of WordPress along with the plugin “Theme Switcher Reloaded” and it does the job very nicely!

Put Spring in your forum! That sounds corny, I know, but I live in crazy Oregon, who can’t make up her mind if it’s spring or not. Right now I am freezing my Georgia peach butt off and huddled inside. Lucky for you - because I made buttons!

These buttons are called Spring Green, made with CC and GPL icons and Photoshop. Included are two layered Photoshop files so you can make your own custom buttons or changes.

I’ve upgraded the Gardens to the new versions of WordPress and bbPress. While WP 2.5 rocks my world, bbPress does not. I want a much tighter integration, so I’m pitching the hours I spent making this theme for bbPress, and retiring those forums. For now. I may change my mind later.

Onward and upward! I used SimplePress from Stuff at Yellow Swordfish. I’ve already installed it at BK2K Web Design and it’s quite nifty!

Soon to come - a new theme release, and tutorial movies! Stay tuned…
