Themes
So here's my little foray into WordPress themes. From here you can download any themes I've produced, or read a guide to creating your own.
Guides to creating your own themes
If you want to try customizing your own theme, then have a look at my WordPress Theme Dissection - a set of guides dissecting a WordPress theme and hopefully demonstrating how to begin customizing your own.
You may also find it useful to read another guide I wrote on installing WordPress on a local computer. It makes the whole theme customization process a lot faster and easier, and protects you from accidentally messing-up your live website.
Themes for download
Currently standing at a grand total of two themes:
 |
Giraffe2 - WordPress 2.0 only version of the Giraffe theme. Has everything that Giraffe 1.23 contains, with the addition of configurable columns, WordPress Widget support, live preview options, customizable colour schemes, and a logo manager. Latest edition is 2.6.1, last updated August 13, 2007 |
 |
Giraffe - Fully customizable and localized fluid or fixed width theme. Posts are split into lead, recent, and older posts. Has a working print CSS, along with pre-defined colour schemes, and is configured via an administration interface. Latest version 1.23, last updated November 25, 2005 |
Support & Bugs
Support for themes is provided through the support forums. Registration is required but brings with it several advantages (namely plugin newsletters and personal bug tracking). Questions asked anywhere else on this site may not be answered and may even be deleted.
All bug reports should be submitted into the issue tracker. You do not need to register to submit bug reports but if you do then you'll be able to receive email notifications once they have been fixed.

You'll need to create an account at http://www.gravatar.com. Once you've done that, the image you select will be available on any gravatar-enabled website, including this one and your own.

John,
First - I love the theme. Second, I have a question about gravatars. How do I use them? I have all the necessary plugins installed and activated and am able to see the default gravatar (?). But how do I add my own? I cannot find this in the options...
Thanks.

Solved by changing margins and widths back to default.

Since I added the last two posts my site layout has changed. Why is the sidebar removed now? I have not changed anything in settings recently.

Did you keep the plugin inside the giraffe directory? It's important that you retain the directory structure so that you have a directory wp-content/plugins/giraffe/, and inside that are all the plugin files.

Hi John..
‘giraffe_functions.php’ is exist in my wp-content/themes/giraffe directory. What should I do with it?
After I upload giraffe plugin into my plugin directory, there is an error. like what i said before. So i cant find Giraffe administration screen from the WordPress administration panel.
thanks for the reply John.

Ridhaz: You can change 'Your name here' by installing the Giraffe theme plugin, and then going to the Giraffe administration screen from the WordPress administration panel. There is an option there to modify the copyright notice.
As to the other problem, does the file 'giraffe_functions.php' exist in your wp-content/themes/giraffe directory?
