Chains Wordpress Theme Available For Download.

This is a reddish and white, fluid width, two column theme. It has a right hand (single) sidebar with an “author info” section at the top. The author info has some default text in but can be edited to suit your needs and changes to suit which page or archive is being viewed. In addition, when viewed with IE7, Opera 9 and Firefox this theme has a fixed header image, where the text scrolls underneath it. In older browsers this degrades neatly.

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 the designers in the footer which we would appreciate you leaving in place, you can remove any or all of the other links on the theme.

Although currently only at version 0.9.1 this theme is stable and has been tested in the major browsers with no problems. In addition it runs 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 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) and the the “alert,” “information” and “news” classes create a coloured box with an appropriate icon.

You can Download Chains from here - at the moment, it has not been possible to upload to the WP-Themes site so no demo is available. We will update this when (if) this changes.
