Upgraded to Wordpress 2.5
[ 1 Comment ] Posted on 04.05.08 in Site Related
I’ve upgraded Wordpress to its latest version several days ago but just I got to post this now.
WP 2.5 has a completely different look for the Admin Panel compared to the old one. I’m still getting used to it so not much I can say at this point.
By the way, I’ve posted earlier that all the Wordpress themes offered in this site now have widgeted sidebars. Note that not all widgets are compatible with the WP themes here, especially the Tag Cloud. I’ll see what I can do about it but for now, don’t complain if the Tag Cloud widget doesn’t look right.
Also, please report any bugs you encountered from the WP themes offered in this site. Thanks!
By the way, is anyone else having problems posting in Opera? It’s been quite annoying, actually. Sometimes, the line doesn’t break and I end up with this super long line for a paragraph and sometimes, it breaks prematurely and I end up with just one or so words in the first line and the rest are below.
It’s driving me crazy! I like using Opera since it’s faster than Firefox, in my very humble opinion. Anyone else have these problems?
Widgeted Sidebars
[ 0 Comments ] Posted on 02.27.08 in WP Theme Updates
Wordpress themes offered in this site now have widgeted sidebars! Those who want to add or remove elements in the sidebar can now do so.
If you’re too lazy to download the WP themes from their original posts, here are the download links:
- Confectionary Heaven WP Theme
- Naruto Strikes Back! WP Theme
- Predators WP Theme
- Forsaken Dream WP Theme
These Wordpress themes are in RAR format so you’ll need WinRAR to extract them. Zip files are not available.
As always, please follow Terms of Use if you’re planning on using the WP themes I made.
Forsaken Dream Wordpress Theme
[ 0 Comments ] Posted on 02.26.08 in Lord of the Rings, Movie, WP Themes
Blinding Light WP Themes is aliiiive!!! Yes, yes. Haven’t updated in a while. I missed greeting everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Valentine’s Day. Well, belated greetings to you then!
Anyways, I’ve ported another one of Blinding Light’s div layouts into a WordPress theme and it’s the “Forsaken Dream” design featuring Gollum from New Line Cinema’s hit movie The Lord of the Rings based on the JRR Tolkien trilogy.
I’ve been trying to follow the WCAG way so before converting it into a WP theme, I’ve modified the original colors so it’ll be like the other WordPress themes here where the background has enough contrast with the text colors.
For a preview of the latest WordPress theme up for download, click on Forsaken Dream under WP Themes in the sidebar. Here’s a screenshot:
Click on the screenshot above to download the Forsaken Dream WP Theme. You’ll need WinRAR for this.
Death Note WP Theme
[ 4 Comments ] Posted on 11.22.07 in Anime, Death Note, WP Theme in Progress
Hello, everyone! A new anime WordPress theme is in the works. This is actually a div layout currently being offered at Blinding-Light.COM. It was originally entitled “Death Note” but as a WP theme, I renamed it to “Harbinger of Death”. Sounds better that way.
Anyways, it features Ryuuk from the anime/manga Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba (story) and Takeshi Obata (art). I’ve always wanted to create a layout with him on it and now I finally did it. It turned out “brighter” than planned but it looks acceptable to me.
I’m still working on the finishing details but mostly, it works. To get a preview of the new WordPress theme, just click on “Harbinger of Death” on the navigation under the “WP Themes” section.
Please tell me what you think.
Edit @ February 26, 2008: Development of this WordPress theme is currently on hold.
WordPress 2.3.1 Upgrade
[ 1 Comment ] Posted on 11.05.07 in Site Related
In less than a month, WordPress released another updated version. So, here I am upgrading… Again.
Anyways, from what I immediately see, the anime WordPress themes offered in this site work in this latest WP version. No problems so far. Yay!
Is it just me or does the latest WordPress version has problems with posting? My visual editor doesn’t have the usual WYSIWYG interface. Oh, well. Will worry about it some other time…
Edit: Darn it! The visual editor is not working! Argh! I’ve reuploaded WordPress 2.3.1 several times and it simply doesn’t work. *Sigh* It’s not like I need it but I want all the features to be working, you know? Anyone who knows what the problem is, please tell me.
Edit @ Friday, November 16th: WYSIWYG is back! I just reuploaded wp-includes folder and everything seems fine now. Reuploading the whole package doesn’t work but reuploading one folder does? Weird… I wonder what happened?
Direct Linking to the WP Themes
[ 0 Comments ] Posted on 10.13.07 in Site Related
First of all, as you can notice, the ads are increasing in this site. It’s nearing Christmas season and I need the money. December is also when Blinding-Light.COM expires and when my hosting bills come in. So, I don’t think I have to tell you what would be nice of you to do 
Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I’ve found a site that has been direct linking to the images and download links for the WordPress themes offered in this site. Please, please, please! Whoever you are, or those who are planning on doing it in the future, do not do it!
If you want to share my WP themes, direct them here. Give a link to this site: http://wordpress.blinding-light.com. It’s the decent thing to do. I have enough of Googlebot eating up my bandwidth as it is. I do not need any more direct linkers/leechers stealing my bandwidth.
I’m hoping for your cooperation.
