As a seasonal treat I have released the Xmas Skin I occasionally use on this blog as an extra skin for my Journalized theme.

You can download the xmas skin here:
xmas-skin-2.7.1.zip.

• Once you have downloaded it. Unzip it, then upload the files to your journalized/skins directory.
• Go to Appearance -> Journalized Options in the admin screen, and select the new skin.
• If you want a picture of Santa to appear along side your blog title, type ‘santa.gif’ into the ‘Header Image’ box and uncheck both ‘Add the image in the background’ and ‘Turn off the blog title’.
• If you want your header to be full width, check that box and set header image height to be 138 pixels (that worked for me)
• Finally save your settings and you are done

I hope you enjoy this bit of seasonal frivolity. 😉

The Journalized theme has been updated to version 2.7.1. This version fixes a couple of bugs in WordPress versions earlier than 2.7 (thanks Bill and Mike Walsh) and I’ve added Author posts links wherever necessary.

I’m still working on the translatable version of the theme. There may well be another release soon.

After feedback from users and some minor tweaks, my Journalized Theme version 2.7 is finally released! The theme is no longer in beta and is ready for the big time.

A reminder of some of the new features:

• Comes with six built in ’skins’ (including the old Blue, Sand, and Winter)
• A new administration interface to configure the theme.
• Support for widgits, tags, and Gravatars
• Can be configured to have 1, 2, or 3 columns.
• Supports custom header image, including in the background
• and many more…

Go get it now!. As usual, leave feedback on the theme page please.

After nearly two years of inactivity, I have finally updated and released a new version of my Journalized Theme.

The theme includes support for WordPress 2.7 features, but is backwards compatible with WordPress 2.5 and 2.6

Just some of the new features:

• Comes with six built in ‘skins’ (including the old Blue, Sand, and Winter)
• A new administration interface to configure the theme.
• Support for widgets, tags, and Gravatars
• Can be configured to have 1, 2, or 3 columns.
• Supports custom header image, including in the background
• and many more…

Go check it out and let me know what you think. (Leave feedback on the theme page, not here)
