quicklinks: wordpress gadget
A quick link to this gadget for MS Vista which puts links to your Wordpress admin elements straight into your gadget area. I’m not exactly in love with Vista at the moment, it keeps setting IE as my default browser. That said, gadgets are one of the nice things. This will probably save me 2 [...]
themes: clean as can be
This theme takes its clean lines pretty seriously. With a subtle colorscheme which would be easy to modify by playing with some settings in Photoshop to change the hue, this theme should make an excellent base for a serious blog. I’m thinking scientific, informative, complexly structured.
Apply a seriously freaky background to the <body> and a [...]
Sponsored themes. Well now…
I’ll try to keep this brief as I’m sure the debate is hitting overload for everyone. , and I have to say, I agree with him on most points. If you read one paragraph about sponsored themes, make it this one from Matt:

themes: itheme
If you managed to resist the iphone theme, but own a mac, then this may be for you. The right hand sidebar is user rearrangable. Fully widgetted, and drag and droppable for the reader, this should be an interesting theme to try out.

Firstly I’d like to thank Aaron and Scot for letting me know about this site, which is republishing everything posted here. Word for word. Using my work doesn’t bother me, I’m here to draw [...]

The point being that saving 20 seconds a few times a day may not seem [...]
Themes: cleanly different Capri 1.0
This theme provides, in my opinion, a very strong base for successful modest customisation (or pimpin‘).
Some themes are just too distinct, and can be spotted a mile off, like Misty or Kubrik, even when they get a new colour scheme and header image. This theme would give a very different feel with such changes, and [...]
plugins : automatic image resizing
Plugins that save you time are some of the most useful. This plugin makes handling images much easier, and is particularly useful if your WordPress theme suffers from layout problems if the main content column is over-wide due to large images. Sometimes the sidebar will wrap below the main column, rather to the side, because [...]
