BD-theme

December 8th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

BD-theme is a widget ready, two columns Wordpress theme, written using the default Wordpress theme as php/xhtml base. The theme is inspired by TorrentFreak rounded layout, and some little ideas are inspired by Curved Theme, which was the old BD-blog theme.
I just wanted to write my own Wordpress theme.
This is my first theme, and my first try to design something nice. Source code is available below.

If you like BD-blog theme, then download BD-theme =)

    • This is the source code of the experiments done from the post of 06-06-2008: BD-theme’s new look
    • NOT to be considered as a stable release, code is very dirty (but almost functional)
    • It’s the base I’ve been using since 7 days for the final release, It’s available because somebody may like it more than the next version, or to modify it
    • An image helps more than a thousand words:
