This is a little two-column, widget-ready, Digg-like WordPress theme that I’ve been working on. I took an extra day to re-test, re-validate, and to help you use this theme (as far as possible) without having to tweak it for your own blog, which contradicts my other goal, to allow you to customize it as far as you like. For example, you can change the header background image to show a screenshot capture of Digg Swarm. Open the style.css file, look for #header, and change bg_header.gif to bg_header_alt.gif. Check the readme.txt file for more customization tips.

- b, big, blockquote
- cite, code

- em, hr, i, s, small, u

Download Apple
I’ve been eating apples so I thought I should make a theme based on the apple color scheme. Apple is a three-column, left sidebar WordPress theme. As you can see, I love it, so much that I’m using it for my own website.
Just in case I switch my website to another theme later on, here’s the live demo for Apple.
Download Web 2 Wannabe
This is a portfolio / personal style WordPress theme. It has the rounded corners and gradients, but not really web 2.0 so I named it “Wannabe.” You might recognize the top navigation menu (inspired by LogoPond and N.Design Studio blog).
I created this theme because I was annoyed by ripoffs of my previous design concepts. Note: This is a throw-away theme, meant to annoy you. Do what you want with it.
Download Annoyed
Download Generic Unicol
Going into designing my fourth theme for public use, I wanted it to be flexible and easy to modify like my second theme named Double Header. Generic Unicol is a green… really green, one column theme. It’s simple and plain because I left a lot of room for customization. What you’re getting is the basic concept.
Download Neo-Sapien
Neo-Sapien has been updated to version 0.6. The original release, with the Casshern movie-cover image, is no longer available. For version 0.6, I took out the movie cover and added a wrapper around all four columns to stop the last two columns from moving when you don’t have your browser maximized. Also, I replaced the hard-coded top links with wp_list_pages WordPress function.
Download Double Header Widgetized
This is the second public theme released under WPDesigner.com. I rushed on creating this one. The original width of the content area is pretty small, ideal for personal blogs. Therefore, I’ve created an extended version (wider). The wide version could be put to good use for Adsense and/or photo blogs.
This theme is inspired by (an imitation of) Flickr.com. It has been tested with IE 5.5 and Firefox 1.5. It has a built in syndication block with links for your visitors to add your feeds to various aggregators.
This is my first public theme. I have no idea how it’ll perform when compared to other themes. If you could take it for a test run and give me some feedback, I would appreciate it.
Download Flickred Widgetized: (November 16, 2006)
This is the updated version with widget enabled. The actual widget plugin isn’t included with the download.
