CompuSkills Blog

There has been a quiet period on the blog over the last few months as we have been heavily involved in real world projects. Hopefully this has come to an end now and we will recommence our development and publishing of WordPress themes.  More news will follow.

These instructions are for Wordpress themes.

Download your chosen theme. You will probably have to unzip it.

Unzip the files to the Wordpress themes folder on your blog’s server.

This will probably be in the htdocs folder, if your server uses Apache, and called something like:
…….\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes

Now go into your admin account for Wordpress.

Pick Presentation, as shown.

Then choose Theme editor, as shown here and you should see the name of the unzipped new theme, with a preview.

Click on it to choose the new theme you want.

At the top of the page you should see a message to say that the new theme has been activated. Click on “view site” to see it in operation.

Harmony 0.5.2b Wordpress Theme Available for Download

Following on from our previous theme release, the new theme designed for the WhyDontYou Blog is available for download (free, released under the creative commons licence). It is not a “sponsored” theme, but there are links back here in the footer which we request you leave in place. In addition, there is a section in the footer which explains who created this theme and where it was made for - you may edit this if you wish.

This is currently at version 0.5.2 beta but is largely stable. It requires Dunstan’s Error pages as a separate download (or you can edit the 404.php file, or if you want, we will do it for you) and has been set up to work with UTW and Share This. Read the rest of this entry »

Download the Why Dont You Blog WordPress Theme.

The Word Press theme designed for the WhyDontYou Blog is now available for download (free, released under the creative commons licence). It is not a “sponsored” theme, but there are links back here in the footer which we request you leave in place. In addition, there is a section in the footer which explains who created this theme and where it was made for - you may edit this if you wish.

This is currently at version 0.9.8 beta and has a few teething issues, especially in Internet Explorer 6, but is largely stable. It requires the UTW plugin and Dunstan’s Error pages which need to be downloaded separately.

This theme is widgetised and has been tested on WordPress 2.1 and 2.2. Read the rest of this entry »
