Hello hello hello.

I’ve gotten around to making my theme useable for others (as in, taking out all my plugin references). You can check it out at http://test.jalenack.com … that’s the generic version that is available in the download. So, it’s got no documentation or anything like that, but it is a complete theme. Especially check out the draggable sidebar boxes…

A note to WP news sites, please don’t link to this theme *yet* … I’d like to get it running on a couple of sites and work out those inevitable bugs before it gets noticed by the masses.

Download: Crimson Milk Theme

I’m looking for a few adventurous wordpress bloggers to test out this theme. I’ve already tested it on 3 separate blogs, and it looks good in all three.

Supported browsers:

Firefox
Safari
Opera
IE6 Win
IE5 Mac

Well there you go, tell me what you think. I’ll definitely be documenting it as I have more time (school is almost over!) Thanks!

I’ve just gotten started and haven’t had a chance to do much yet, but so far things look good and are working out. Great theme!

Very nice work! Very clean-cut. I’ve added it to the Codex list.

Very different, I’m not a “red” fan, but it’s neat! Keep up the good work….

Hey…I was fooling around with the colors, they’re very easy to change. Perhaps I’ll release a few colored versions…

I see it’s been downloaded 31 times already…anyone care to show me their site using it?

On another note, I’ve got a ton of information to release about it….Here’s a teaser: Try clicking the very bottom left hand corner…there is a fixed hidden link there that takes one to the admin panel (or the login screen). It’s useful for site owners and authors and invisible to viewers..

Ooo, if you make a orange version, let me know. This is a very smooth-looking theme.

Really nice Andrew and original which shows a lot of work. I too will play around with this, perhaps change the image backgrounds and body BG too.

Alright, I think its ready for mass download. It’s mostly documented (BTW, I’ll edit the codex for the proper link) on this theme page. A small new version release today, fixes a wp_footer() bug and makes it easier to mess around with. No major changes. Tell me what you think.

I’m working on multiple colors, hoping to make many versions of it. The body background is the easiest/most obvious change. If you change it to a dark color or background, it looks very cool with the glow from transparent pngs…

WP news sites, you now have permission to blog about… heh thanx 🙂

Tell me what you think!!

It’s gorgeous, thanks very much – more than what I was looking for!
In fact, I jettisoned my own planned template to start implementing this one

I can clearly see so much of hardwork and efforts have gone into the making of this theme.

Keep up the good work and we look forward for other color choices.
Thanks
