A Wordpress Theme For The iPhone


Now that the iPhone 3G has been announced, and will be launching in a bucketload of countries, the iPhone, and mobile internet in general, is appearing as a major contender for advertising dollars. This means it’ll be a major sauce of income for many people. To that end, you’re going to start to see a lot of websites pop up catering for iPhone users.

One of the easiest ways to start catering for your iPhone users, is to intergrate an iPhone theme into your wordpress blog, but only use it for people visiting your site from an iPhone. This may seem like a daunting task, but ContentRobot is here to help.

30 Great Simple Blog Layouts


Here is a selection of my favorite simple blog designs. To qualify for this list, the blogs had to have clean, effective layouts with little clutter, a good choice of colour, shape and design, and not rely too much on images. Loading quickly, having good content and quality writing skills also helped.

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!
