Community Appreciation – Simpl3 Theme Release

Posted by John Saddington on Feb 6, 2009

Thanks for the Name!

One of the reasons I love blogging is that I get to “hang out” with tons of cool people every day from all parts of the world and from many different walks of life.

It’s fun, and I appreciate big time the community that we’re beginning to build, either here on ChurchCrunch, Human3rror, Twitter, or wherever…!

So, I’ve decided to put a few extra hours into completing and cleaning up an old theme that’s been sitting on my local development box for far too long.

The Simpl3 Theme by Human3rror

Some Highlights:

  • Rotating Header Images [622x190 pixels, unlimited number!]
  • Big plush Social Icons by Aquaticus – All of them are pre-loaded into the theme.
  • 4 Squares of Advertising space.
  • Widgetized Sidebar Goodness.
  • Simple Typography and Image placement
  • Spirit-filled Community Love.

Now, it’s not “perfect” because you’ll have to go in and manually edit/change linkage for the Social Icons and such… but hey, it is what it is.

So check it out [Home and Single Post view]:

and…

Cool! So Where Do I Download It?

Before you go download it, make sure you go tell others about it and this growing community!

It’s you guys that make all of this happen! And please don’t forget to Subscribe to the RSS Feed!

K? Cool!  Go Here to Download.

Enjoy.

  2. Can you share the php code for "Spirit Filled community love," or does that require AJAX/js coding?

  7. Sad Manda. Can't use this theme on the free wordpress.com blog. This may make me switch if I can find the money for hosting chezcrazy.org.
