Theme Authors: Want Your Theme Widgetized?

Published at December 15, 2006 in Meta. 0 Comments

Widgets Don't Suck! 

I love widget-read themes. Using either widgets or sidebar modules on a blog and using widget-ready themes makes changing themes but keeping your sidebar customizations easy with no code to mess with. Unfortunately, many of the great themes I feature here aren't widget-ready. So, I'm offering my WordPress hacking skills to convert a theme to be widget-ready.

Get Your Theme Widgetized 

If you are the author of a theme we've featured here already (or want to be featured) and would like your theme to be widget-ready, please use the contact form to let me know. There is no charge for this. I'll take submissions on a first come, first served basis with priority given to themes we've already featured. For new themes, they will need to have the mojo to pass the voodoo that is the acceptance process.

I can't guarantee that I will be able to convert all themes, but I'll give it a shot. I will test the result in as many browsers and platforms as I can and also with both the widget plugin and sidebar modules plugin. All I ask in return is a link to my site on your theme's info page or on your blog if you only have it on the WordPress theme site.

This theme manages to be fun and bright but still allows for plenty of information without the visuals getting in the way. Seeing this in your browser definitely makes you look twice.

Because blue is the best color :-) OK, it also does a nice job of using just a few images and icons to make everything easy to read without being annoying.
