The “Classical Elegance” wordpress theme is now available for download. [Demo]

This is a blue and white, fluid width, three column theme. There are two sidebars, both pinned to the right hand edge of the page with an “author info” section at the top. The author info has some default text in but can be edited to suit your needs. This theme is released under a creative commons licence, a copy of which is included in the theme file (saved as LICENCE.txt).

This is not a “sponsored” theme, but there are links back to this blog in the footer which we would appreciate you leaving in place, you can remove any or all of the other links on the theme.

Currently at version 1.0.0 this theme is very stable and has been tested in Firefox, Internet Explorer (versions 6 and 7) and Opera with no problems. It has been tested on Wordpress 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 with no problems. It works with a variety of plugins, although none are required. If you run a wordpress blog, we suggest you get Universal Tag Warrior, Share This and Dunstan Like Error Pages if nothing else. Tailored hooks are available for these three plugins, if you require a hook for a specific plug in we will try to accommodate you.

This theme comes with seven inbuilt styles so you can alter the appearance of sections of your posts. Full details on how to use these styles is included in the README.txt file included in the theme. Basically you can use the classes “leftfloat” “rightfloat” and “center” to indicate the alignment of a block (for example <p> and <div> tags), the “tagline” class changes the appearance of the text to an italic, serif font and the the “alert,” “information” and “news” classes create a coloured box with an appropriate icon.
