Orangetastic Wordpress Theme Available For Free Download.

This is fixed width, two column theme, based on various shades of orange - hence the name “Orangetastic.” 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. The default information describes a bit about the blog (how many comments and posts) and links back to this site.

The Orangetastic 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.

Currently at version 1 this theme is stable and has been tested in the major browsers with no problems. In addition it runs on Wordpress 2.2.1 and 2.3 with no problems. It works with a variety of plugins, although none are required. Tailored hooks are in place for Dunstans Like Error Pages and Share This.

This theme comes with inbuilt styles so you can alter the appearance of sections of your posts. Details on what extra classes there are, and how to use them is included in the README.txt file which is inside the theme’s archive. 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 an appropriately coloured box.

We are still unable to upload files to the Wordpress theme viewer, so at this time there is no theme demo available. As soon as this changes we will announce it here. Until then, you can see from the screenshot how the theme looks and it is available for Free Download from this blog.
