Wordpress Theme Utica Avenue Released

I’ve decided to release a new theme for general consumption today. It is called Utica Avenue, named after the Brooklyn, New York subway station. End of the 4 line, for those who would like to know. :)

I’ve put alot of effort into this theme and hopefully it will meet expected standards. I have not tested it in <ie 6, Opera, Safari or IE for Mac (much less any Linux browsers.

Issues at hand that I am not thrilled with:

Sidebar is called before the Loop which means all the junk in the sidebar is displayed in the source BEFORE the content – not ideal for screen readers but until I find a better solution, it’ll have to do.

You can see it in action by clicking on the Utica Avenu link in the sidebar.

This theme is intended for Wordpress 1.5.

Pick up your copy of the WordPress Bible, a wildly popular resource for beginners and experts alike.

    Hi Technosailor,

    I like your Utica Avenue theme quite a bit – in fact, I’m planning to use it for a site I’m setting up now (fastlittlearticle.com). I’ll provide a credit, e.g. “strongly based upon the Utica Avenue theme by Technosailor,” or abrazell if you prefer.

    Planning to make a few tweaks – the blue & yellow bars after each post are a little strong for my taste, and the “Links” heading in the sidebar ends up being different formatting than the other sidebar headings. Looks great overall, though!

    Are you doing further work/support on this theme?

    Cheers, and thanks,
    nikof

    Hey Nikof–

    Probably no support but it depends on what needs to be supported. Enjoy the theme!

    I am using your template for now, it’s really beautiful I like it a lot :) At least until I learn how to write my own for wordpress :D

    Anyway my question was about the sidebar… do you know how I can add my link button images and javascript stuff to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  24. Aaron Brazell 20 October 2005 at 7:18 pm #

    Beltane, not to sound trite, but the same way you would do it in any HTML layout.

    For images:

    1
    &lt;img src="path/to/image.jpg" /&gt;

    For javascript…well, it completely depends on the javascript and what it’s supposed to do.
