Finalized Gossip Theme Design
- Filed under: Wpdesigner.com
Above is the final version. As you can see, the header changed drastically since the last preview. Mainly, I wanted to use grunge and line-art in the header, but couldn’t convincingly mix those styles with the glossy and pop looks that gossip blogs need. I need more practice with each style before trying to mix them together again.
The image above is a preview of the front page. I’m not going to post previews of other areas of this theme until the whole theme gets coded.
Although the design has been finalized, I’m not going to code it yet. I’m moving on to another design for a different theme. I’ll start coding all of the designs after I’m tired of designing.
Miscellaneous
I had a pretty rough new year and right now I’m trying to keep personal issues off my mind and just stick to my hobby, which is learning how to better my design skills. So… yea… I’ll be going on a design binge.
Also, Wpdesigner is becoming an important part of my life and I need to take it more seriously. Therefore, I’ll separate personal from business blogging. My new personal blog will be at Braintied.com.
Very nice!
It sure went through some variations! lol
I look to seeing it in action!
Aaa, what a lovely peachy design!
looks cooooool !! waiting for its release
looks better.
but @dinsan i dont think this is for free..
Nice design. Will the top 5 celeb pictures be using the key functions or are those going to be editable in the header.php file?
Sorry to hear your new years jumped off badly. Mine hasn’t been exactly what I had planned either. I hope everything starts going better for you.

Brian, Chris, and Anto - Thanks!
Dinsan - Anto’s right. This one is not free.
Mike - I think it’s best to leave that area hard-coded for the default version. It’ll keep the theme flexible and easier to get started with. Also, it isn’t hard to integrate key functions or custom field values for that area so the users can always do it later or ask for that sort of help after installing this theme.
Wow, now that’s a hot theme! Good job on that!
When will this be released for purchase? Any idea of the price? I have a Vegas Gossip site this would be perfect for!
Right now, I don’t have a time line. As for price… not expensive
Nice work! I like the final design!
ooo It looks nice.
yess, final version is looking good. I just don’t like logo.
The theme looks great! Keep your head up on the personal side;)
Good idea to split the personal and business halves of you. Being Asian, I’m sure there’ll be a third, fourth, up to at least an eighth side of you in the future.
Lovely theme, SP!
Much better! Great work SP
You’re right to keep business and personal separate. Sorry to hear about your year not getting off to a good start. I had a Christmas day that would make you cry so I know how you feel. SP - email me if you want me to tell you what happened, it’s not something I want to put in a public comment.
Congratulations on another great theme.
It was interesting to see how the design “evolved.” I like the final product you have here, it looks very well developed. I could say that your skills as a designer are improving.
When will this be released? I would love to use it for my baby daughter’s blog site!
Hey nice work man, look this is my Gossip blog, maybe it can help you with some ideas before you get into the coding part.

Saludos!
@ SP: The design looks awesome. Happy new year to you and best of luck with your business over the coming months.
@ Lisa: What on earth does “being Asian” have to do with splitting business and pleasure? What does ‘Asian’ mean anyway?
Ooo looks great. I want it! GIMME
That is pimp, I love it!
I really like the design of this theme
Am still on the search for something I really really like that would suit my site. It’s a fansite, but the standard blog themes (with too much use of the sidebar) doesn’t seem to be too appropriate. The membership for the theme club sounds pretty interesting!
How i download this theme?
