Calf-Point WordPress Theme

21 Aug 08

Carlo Perassi has created Calf Point, a child theme of Sandbox based on Moo-Point.

It was not possible to import the slightly changed menu but the CSS is the same. I can say Calf is 95% equal to Moo… after all it’s a child, not a clone.

Carlo took the bull by the horns and worked Moo-Point into a child theme after a brief discussion we had in the forums. Look for the Moo-Point theme to be fully converted to a child theme (hopefully sooner than later).

Five Clean, Minimalist Themes for WordPress - Op111.net

18 Aug 08

Moo-Point is mentioned and analyzed.

I think that the best two words to describe this theme by Will Wilkins are: eminent readability — I was impressed the first time I saw Moo Point, and I remain impressed.

Demetris also goes into why text-transform:uppercase in CSS can cause issues in certain languages.

Habari Project, Binary Bonsai, and Sillyness, Werd - Redesigns

17 Aug 08

The Habari Project has redesigned their site since the release of Habari 0.5. I like it much better than the old design.

Micheal Heilemann, a long time user, designer and developer of WordPress themes (K2, Kubrick) and plugins, has converted Binary Bonsai to Habari with a minimal design and nice typography.

Chris J Davis, another developer/designer who has worked with WordPress in the past (K2, Kubrick, WicketPixie), has also redesigned his Habari driven site. I love the infinite scrolling/non-paged home page; it dynamically loads older content as you scroll to the bottom!

Cha-Ching 2 Beta 4 and Cha-Ching Touch

12 Aug 08

While I haven’t had much luck in testing Cha-Ching 2 betas, I was really hoping Midnight Apps would release a version of Cha-Ching for the iPhone/iPod touch. It now looks like my hopes are becoming reality.

We have been developing Cha-Ching Touch alongside Cha-Ching 2 for the past month or so and have made some really great progress. I can’t go into to much detail yet but we are working on some really innovative features that should make entering your transactions on the go a real snap.

Cha-Ching Beta 4, Cha-Ching Touch…

09 Aug 08

My version of Moo-Point hasn’t changed names. However, easternwest has posted the Simplest WordPress theme built on Sandbox with a CSS file almost identical to Moo-Point.
