For those of you who have seen my Thesis skins, you’ve probably noticed the content slider section at the top of the home page on many of the designs. That slider is made possible by the Dynamic Content Gallery plugin, or DCG for short.
While I love the plugin, there are a ton of options and [...]
Throughout GPL Week we’ve dealt with WordPress developers that have adopted the GPL for their products. Today, we’re going to talk to someone who not only refused to use the license, but has been a vocal opponent of it.
Chris Pearson, the creator of the Thesis theme, has spoken out several times against use of the [...]
So far in GPL Week we’ve heard from three WordPress theme developers and their perspectives on one of the most divisive topics in the WordPress community. Today, however, we have the pleasure of hearing from plugin developer Carl Hancock, one of the creators of Gravity Forms.
While the GPL debate is most often discussed in terms [...]
So far in GPL Week we’ve heard from two WordPress theme developers that have embraced the General Public License and plan to continue operating under it. Today, however, we’re talking with Jason Schuller of press75 and soon to be ThemeGarden.
Jason adopted the GPL for his themes at press75 but has been fairly vocal about the [...]
Premium WordPress theme design company, WooThemes, made a big splash last year by announcing their embrace of the GPL. Despite being able to see some of Brian Gardner’s experience there were still a lot of unknowns going into the new licensing model.
I sent Magnus Jepson, one of the WooThemes’ founders, the same 5 questions about [...]
While there have been a ridiculous number of words wasted written about WordPress & the GPL in theory, there hasn’t been nearly as much discussion of the GPL when it’s actually put into practice.
To get a better idea of how the GPL actually impacts the WordPress community, I asked Brian Gardner of StudioPress a few [...]
I once wrote that the General Public License (better known as the GPL) is the third rail of the WordPress community.
While that may very well be true, I’ve decided to grab it & hold on for dear life… at least for the next week.
In the great tradition of Rivalry Week, Shark Week & Passover (cut [...]
WordPress 2.9.2 was released yesterday and in following the recent trend, it contained a security patch.
It would seem that the idiot-proofing “feature” of sending posts to the trash instead of deleting them permanently allows logged in users to see the posts.
You can read all the details over on Thomas Mackenzie’s blog but basically if you [...]
* This Thesis Skin has been updated. Scroll down for update details. *
Well folks, I’ve been at it again. I’ve created another free thesis skin!
Now I know, this blog is about WordPress and there’s actually been a release (version 2.8.6) since my last post but to be honest, the news in the WordPress world hasn’t really been all that exciting to me lately.
I mean, how many GPL and Update your Installs type of posts do you guys really want to read anyway? So instead, I decided to spend my time creating something that I hope most of you will get some actual use out of.
Now of course, if you haven’t listened to my constant gushing about Thesis and you’re still not using it, well I just don’t know what to do with you.
For the rest of you, I’m pleased to introduce the Affiliate Skin for Thesis!
Affiliate Skin
As WordPress design has evolved over time there’s been an emerging trend of cramming more and more information into designs.
With the advent of “magazine style” themes bloggers were able to give their readers glimpses into almost every facet of their site.
And, while there are several visually stunning magazine style themes out there, it’s easy as a blog reader to begin suffering from information overload.
If crisp, clean designs are more to your liking, I think you’ll enjoy my newest Thesis skin…
