LEGO Theme released
This afternoon I finally had a few minutes to fix a couple of issues and release my LEGO theme. This theme is currently in use on my LEGO web site. The theme free to download and use. There are still a couple minor nits with it which I need to fix and I want to add a couple more color schemes but I wanted to get it out. It supports four colors schemes – red, blue, green, and yellow. Enjoy.

This evening I posted a new Sandbox based theme called Sandbox Swim Team. This theme is designed for Swim Team web sites. Like the LEGO and Soccer themes I have done recently, this theme is widget ready and has styling for a number of plugins I use regularly. This theme has a number of options [...]

This afternoon I posted an update to my Sandbox-LEGO theme. In the process of developing my CASL Soccer theme I had figured out how to do a couple things which I have wanted to incorporate into Sandbox-LEGO. It wasn’t a lot of work but I also decided to spend the time to re-write the Bourne [...]

This morning Imade some more progress on the LEGO theme. It is close to being released. In fact, I was about to release it when I realized that the two different sized bricks for the page background wasn’t working. Looks like I had deferred working on that. The options work fine, they just don’t do [...]

Off an on I have been working on a new Sandbox based LEGO theme for a while. I wanted something I could use for my own LEGO blog as well as the NCLUG and NCLTC sites and possibly the ILTCO site as well. I wanted to make it fairly easy to customize it by selecting [...]

I have been working on a re-write of the Sandbox LEGO WordPress theme. It is taking a lot longer than I thought it would, mostly because I have made the problem more complicated than I initially thought it would be.
One of the main things I wanted to offer in this theme was the ability to [...]

I asked the other day if Sandbox was dead and even though there was a minor update, it appears that Sandbox isn’t really dead but it is in a purgatory of sorts. Not dead but not actively being developed either. So
Soccer season has started and I need to update the Soccer theme I used [...]

I had really hoped that Sandbox would see new life when ownership of the domain and it’s assets changed hands (see Scott Wallick’s post on offering plaintxt.org for sale). The link to the posting on plaintxt.org no longer exists, apparently the new owner deleted the original post.
There hadn’t been any posts on plaintxt.org or sndbx.org [...]

Over the last couple of days I have been playing around with WordPress MU (aka WPMU), the multi-user, mult-blog version of WordPress. It has been on my “to checkout” list for a while but I haven’t had a compelling reason to do so until now.
I was asked to help set up some blogs for a [...]

Over the last two evenings I have created my first real theme. I based on it on Sandbox and called it Sandbox-Soccer. It is a three column theme with two sidebars on the right hand side.
My daughter is playing on a travel soccer team which is going to Sweden later this year and their coach [...]

I want to use a theme framework to develop a couple themes. Why do I want to do this? Because I don’t want to reinvent the wheel. There are several to choose from or I could write my own. I really don’t want to write my own.
Frameworks
Sandbox
Hybrid
Thematic
Whiteboard
I am sure there are more but these are [...]
