Version 2.1 of Carrington Blog is a patch release to address a couple of compatibility issues with WordPress 2.8.

Here are the changes of note:

• Made the lightbox gallery feature compatible with WordPress 2.8 (specifically, with the included jQuery 1.3).
• Reduce the size of some included images.
• Removed page template names from page templates in the pages/ directory due to a bug in WordPress 2.8 that would show them as selectable but would not use them.
• Updated to Carrington Core 2.4.
• A patch for backward compatibility with older versions of WordPress.

The download, as always, is available from the themes page.

Fervens is a 3 column theme that has a base idea of “freshness”. Summer is my favorite time of year as it always amazes us with a rainbow of sensation and colors, making this time of year the best of all.  The green of the plants and trees, the blue of the water….I love this time of year

I tried with this new theme to get something from that “freshness” and make it work on the web, specifically on wordpress, my favorite(and hands down the greatest) blog platform. Because I couldn’t agree with Vitaly regarding the column positions we decided to make 3 versions of it, Fervens A (Sidebar 1, Central Column, Sidebar 2), Fervens B (Sidebar 1, Sidebar 2, Central Column) and Fervens C (Central Column, Sidebar 2, Sidebar 1).

Main features of the theme

• 3 columns of fixed width
• widget-ready — two sidebars (both sidebars are supporting widgets, but I recommend to use the smaler one.
• the theme is using 3 plugins; 2 of them are integrated into functions.php, so there is no need to install them. These plugins are Gravatar, Recent Comments and FlickrRSS. You can use the last one to present your Flickr images in a Flickr Photostream (see the demo).

Download the themes for free!

You can use the theme for all your projects for free and without any restrictions.

Natural Power is a two column theme, widget ready, that comes with four different coloured header graphics that can easily be changed in the options panel included with the theme.

Also, the header text can easily be changed through the options page as well. You won’t find a crazy, unholy options page, but instead just two options relating to the colour and text for the header. Simple is always better in my opinion.

Download and other details

281 does not use any images or JavaScript. CSS and other files are compressed and PHP has been tinkered with to reduce queries. 281 is based on an older release of K2, so 281 might be easy to play around with if you are familiar with the K2 structure.

Requested Feedback: Please give us your thoughts! Also as a note, this theme has NOT been tested in IE6 or IE7 yet so please keep that in mind.
