Changes to the Garden’s WordPress theme

When I first registered this domain, it was only a placeholder for other sites, and a place where I tested various software. I offered hosting services, but through my other site, BK2K Web Design.

When I decided to use WordPress exclusively for content management, I installed it on this domain, and used a standard fixed with, 2-column skin. I decided that I wanted more space, so I coded the template you see today - ultra simple, 2 columns, and not much else.

I’m about to release the Tickled Pink skin, then go on a 2 week break while I revamp the Gardens. I’m thinking I’ll use the same graphics as I did on the first theme (which are kind of nice if I do say so myself) but keep the 100% width, and go to three columns. Damn, this is going to be a fun July!

Stay tuned for Tickled Pink! Today or tomorrow…there, I’ve committed myself!

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!

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…

Out with the old; in with the new. RoseCityGardens has a new look and feel!

Please be patient while I add tweaks and content - lots and lots of content!
