Author’s note

If you’re new to this blog, this is the third theme release for my self-challenge of publishing one theme per day for more than 31 consecutive days.

To the regular readers, if you’re timing me, I actually made it! Hahaha. Too bad for you! Maybe next time huh?

I’m not proud of beating the deadline by one minute, but it’s funny how I always finish at near the end.

Credits:

• The header is inspired by AjaxCold.
• For the alternating post background colors, I don’t remember where I grabbed the codes from. If you’re reading this, thank you for posting your alternating backgrounds tip. Although small, it’s very useful.

Design notes

Thanks to Jenny of PJMommy.com for bringing this to my attention. Someone took my Dream On theme, stripped the footer message, and replaced it with a sponsored link to a web-hosting review website. Here’s the stolen version: Here are the stolen version’s theme page on the WordPress Theme Viewer and test-run link. It’s been only seven days after my GPL announcement. Not all WPDesigner themes have been re-released under GPL yet and someone already stole one of my themes. This is the kind of thing GPL theme designers have to deal with. On one hand, I should go after this person to tell everyone it’s not okay to do such a thing. On the other hand, the theme viewer’s manager already has enough trouble on his hands. Bothering him about this on a case to case basis isn’t going to help. Like I’ve been saying, the theme viewer needs to change into a manually filtered database and it needs a moderation area to review new themes before publishing. I’m not writing this post to say, “FOUL!” This is simply for exposing the people manipulating the theme viewer, their techniques, and loop-holes.

2.0.0 — Rebuilt as a modern block theme with accessible templates, responsive layout controls, and current WordPress and PHP compatibility.

We will keep the theme compatible with supported WordPress and PHP releases, refine accessibility, and publish focused improvements based on real user feedback.
