In my previous post regarding [tag]themes[/tag] and getting back into the habit of making one, I decided to create another [tag]WordPress[/tag] theme. Well, it wasn't created from scratch. Although a lot of the styling information has changed, the theme is made based on the great K2 and one of my personal favorites, Squible. K2's backend, upon looking at the code, is very impressive. So impressive that it taught me a lot in designing a theme's backend. However, I wanted something simpler. Simple enough that I don't have to tweak most of the code, if not all of it. So I looked at Squible, remembering it was the first theme that introduced me to PHP and WordPress theme creation. I also admired how Theron Parlin and James Carppe, Squible's authors, integrated a lot of stuff in it. That niftybox is so...nifty. It's just that the theme wasn't valid XHTML and the loading time, due to the AJAX-powered livesearch, was taking too long for my taste. Also, I can't make some of the plugins to work, like Extended Live Archives. And then it hit me. Why not combine the two themes into one, just without the configuration page. I also thought about integrating a lot of the plugins that this theme would be using, but I can't. So basically, what I tried to do is put together the styles of both themes, integrate the features that I can, and test it. It's been brewing since last week and now I'm happy to announce that the theme is ready for public use. And as always, the theme is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution - Share Alike - 3.0 - Unported license. More information and configuration instructions can be found here.
