Free Theme #1 Released! Rediscovr

I’ve just finished my first ever completely original Wordpress theme - Rediscovr. It is available free to download, so go ahead and scroll down to see all the details and a download link :) You’ll also notice I’m using the theme myself. I’ve decided to start a little trend where I’ll use my latest free theme - so you know I only release themes I would use myself.


Theme Name: Rediscovr
Theme By: Blogmastr.com
Download Link: CLICK HERE
Is It Awesome? Yes

Notes
This theme does not yet support widgets, sorry - but I’m working on it! Once I figure out how to impliment widgets, I’ll put them in and it’ll be awesome. Okay? No need to worry.

Secondly, this theme will require a little bit of customization, sorry again! Here’s what you’ll need to do (after installing our theme):

  • Go to your Admin Interface (www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/)
  • Click on “Design” at the top
  • Click on “Theme Editor” (Just under “Design”)
  • Click on “Sidebar” on the right
  • Read through the file (ignore the bits that don’t make sense) and change the bits it tells you to

Note: you will need basic html knowledge to perform these tasks. If you can’t do this yourself, leave a comment here using your email address and I’ll see if I can help you.

Finally, after changing the sidebar.php file, you’ll need to open up the topbg.psd file (in photoshop) and edit it to your liking (unless you want BLOGMASTR as your logo of course!).

And that’s it! Although you should note this is only version 1.0, so there is likely to be a bug or two around that needs squashing. If you find any please report them here, thanks!

Theme #1 Preview


It’s all fully coded in HTML/CSS, now I’m just implementing it in Wordpress. Hopefully will be out tonight!

Developing My First Give-Away Theme


Since I liked making my current theme so much, I’ve decided to make another one. When that’s done I don’t know If I’ll give away the new theme or the current theme, but it should be good either way :) stay tuned.

Recently, someone (I wont post their email, but they listed their site as being here) recently posted what has got to be one of the most epic comments I have ever read, in reply to my latest post - 5 Reasons To Host Your Own Blog.

Now, I thought about emailing this guy in reply, but then thought it might be better to post a public reply, so everyone can see my opinion on this subject.
