Theme Competition Winners Announced
The winners of Alex King’s WordPress v1.5 Theme Competition have been announced. Only four of my favorites won. Rin took home the “Plain Ol’ Poobah” (2nd Place) prize, Wuhan and Green Marinée both received an Honorable Mention, and rdc Theme took home one of the Pixel Perfect Design prizes.
Darwinia for MacOS X Released
Ambrosia Software has released Darwinia for MacOS X. “Combining fast-paced action with strategic battle planning, Darwinia is a real-time strategy game like no other. Darwinia combines state of the art fractal generated landscapes with iconic arcade sprites, an intuitive control mechanism, and a story concerning a tribe of video game sprites trapped in a modern 3D game world.” In short, the graphics are a fascinating combination of “retro” fractal styles and modern 3D, and the system requirement are not too steep. Darwinia is also available for Windows and Linux.
The Super Tangent?
Previously, in what has been debated as either a very clever or completely idiot attempt to ignite sales, Luxpro released the Super shuffle, a blatant copy of Apple’s iPod shuffle. Now, it appears that Luxpro has done it again. Apparently, Luxpro has made a few changes to the design in order to distinguish it from the iPod shuffle. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Super Tangent! Has the design changed enough? You be the judge. Personally, offering two more color choices and a slightly different interface will not suffice.
Taft: A Unique WordPress Theme
There are many themes for WordPress, but none are as unique as Taft. Taft has the appearance of an old-fashioned hand-written journal. Honestly, it’s amazing, but hard to describe. You’ll have to see it for yourself. In the mean time, I may use Taft to start a Myst blog.
Find WordPress Plugins
Currently, there are three ways to find WordPress plugins. The first would be to visit the WordPress Codex document on Plugins. The second would be to visit the Unofficial WordPress Plugins Database. And, the third would be to visit the Official WordPress Plugin Repository. If you are having trouble downloading plugins from the Official Repository (a user-friendly version is on the way), you may want to try Red Alt’s WP-Plugins Download Interface.
My currently active plugins can be viewed here.
Find WordPress Themes
Are you looking for WordPress v1.5 themes? Then start with this list of theme lists. This list of lists will point you to themes organized by column count, themes with thumbnail previews, the largest WordPress v1.5 theme list, an interactive theme browser, and other fun and exciting lists. If your WordPress v1.5 theme isn’t listed on at least one of these lists, then it’s not a WordPress v1.5 theme.
MacManX.com’s current theme is based off of Khaled Abou Alfa’s Rin.
