Futurosity Aperio Prototype - Not at all the typical blog design. I think I’m falling for the homepage layout and idea behind this one! I may have to mod Aperio for use on my family photo website.
Tumble-hybrid Deuce - Another excellent tumble-hybrid theme for WordPress from Shawn Anthony - super clean and simple.
Theseus – Shifts the focus from sidebar overload hell to all content. ThemeShaper is becoming a top resource for quality WordPress themes.
WP Contact Manager – Contact management the WP way! Demonstrating the power of plugins and custom fields in WordPress.
In the past, I have only made brief mentions of creating a support forum. So, I wanted to officially announce the new IAMWW Forums.
My recent move to TXP created a need for an alternative way to offer theme support rather than in the sites comments. I think the forums will fulfill this need for now. General discussions on improving the themes, WordPress and web design and development are also welcome.
The forums should serve as a more appropriate support tool. They will be there regardless of what happens with comments, CMS or any other changes to this site. The forum also has search and tagging functionality that the comments didn’t.
In addition, I have enabled a few features to hopefully make the user experience better:
- The Support Forum Module allows the users and administrators to assign a status to a support request.
- Users can enable email notification on replies to topics that have been added to the favorites.
- Gravatars are also supported with your registered email address.
I have started some topics on frequently asked questions and some open discussions on possible theme enhancements. Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions in the comments below or in the forums.
Does anyone know what benefits echoing a header with PHP has to just using plain text?
Example
Some WordPress themes (including Sandbox) use something similar to the following in the sidebar.
<h3><?php _e('Subscribe:'); ?></h3>
What makes this better than:
<h3>Subscribe:</h3>
Any takers?
Typesites looks like it is going to be a very nice addition to my feed reader.
Cameron Hunt has now moved his publishing platform over to the previously mentioned Chyrp. I always thought it was cool how well he had integrated Tumblr, Textpattern and static pages to build cameron i/o. I can see how moving to one platform would be much easier - cameron i/o.
I only hope Chyrp will soon be able to import feeds in a manner similar to Tumblr (without the 5 feed limit).
Chyrp was mentioned a while back as a stand-alone alternative to a hosted tumblelog. The platform was updated today to version 1.1 adding several extensions to make it a more viable solution.
I also really like the redesign of the Chyrp site!
