ColdBlue Updates, Milestones & New Things
I’ve recently implemented a couple of updates to the ColdBlue Wordpress Theme, which includes (finally) irradiating the annoying font size issues in IE, for good. Head over to the ColdBlue Page for more details and the download link. Upgrading is highly recommended, and is just a matter of overwriting your old theme files.
On a slightly related note, I’ve also written some guidelines for those of you who wish to share the theme with others. Many people have been uploading the zip file to their own web space and hosting it as such. While I do appreciate this venture, it does not allow me to track the number of downloads, nor ensure that only the very latest version is distributed. I would prefer a link to the ColdBlue page http://webrevolutionary.com/coldblue and/or a direct link to the latest file itself http://webrevolutionary.com/ColdBlue_latest.zip
Also, yesterday was a record-breaking day of traffic, with over 2,000 unique visitors laying eyes on this blog, which is even more visits than I received when ColdBlue was mentioned on Smashing Magazine and WP Designer.
I’m currently working on (amongst a mountain of other work) a brand new design for this blog, which is looking pretty cool so far. Once this is released, I’ll be wrapping up the current design as a free, publicly available theme.
More posts to come. Peace.
I uploaded the new ColdBlue version (I choose to overwrite the old version on upload), but now the theme doesn’t show up in the Themes selector in Wordpress. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

I noticed there are 2 style sheets in the zip download, on e is in the theme folder and the other within ColdBlue/css folder, the one in the theme root (if I am correct) is linking to the design file in the ColdBlue/css folder, and would typically have a code such as this:
@import “css/style.css”;
Add the above line to your style.css file in your theme root folder and it should work. I think!
Upgraded to Wordpress 2.2.2. Seems to have solved the problem… Weird uh?
Cool. Do you have it in just HTML as I would like to use it in my cms.
Execellent. Is the new design for this blog the one you’re currently running? ColdBlue is nice, but I love how WebRev looks today, with the pertinent facts on the left with the graphics. I’ll use this one if you make it available.
Great to see more CreativeCommons users!
