As some of you may know, most gaming websites run off of advanced content management systems filled w

A few 1963 Corvette Sting Rays are still floating around today, but a lot aren't in good condition, and even more have been completely rebuilt with new parts, a new shiny paint job and maybe some sharp reflective chrome... These rebuilt Corvettes, though in a mint-like condition, are not vintage. A vintage 1963 Corvette Sting Ray would have all of the original factory parts, the engine would operate like it was just dropped under the hood by Chevrolet in 1962, and it would purr like a tiger. Vin

It might not be an actual word, but to us 'Simplista' means simple beauty, and that's exactly what this theme is. Simplista shies away from the complex and crowded and it is created with very organized and straightforward styling elements.The colors used are a mixture of cool purple, blue and sea blue which fade into lighter variations through a header gradient from top to bottom. A nifty and useful feature that comes with Simplista is a horizontally sliding Javascript category menu. If, for ex

For those of you who might have missed it - wordpress 2.8 was released the other day. WordPress 2.8 includes some nice new features that we here at WP Now plan on implementing into our themes. First off is the cleaner widget API. The widget API now allows for multiple instances of widgets - meaning you can have more than one of any single widget on your sidebar. WordPress' new widget API allows us to create customizable widgets with ease. In future themes - and old ones as well (when we release

Our newest theme, Elements, has just been released and we couldn't be more proud. Though we always had faith in Captain Planet, we feel that this mixture of fire, ice, water and lightning gives the our super-hero friend something to look-up to. Elements is not another nature theme, it's a wicked dark, yet colorful magazine theme that serves us with many different purposes. A blog about entertainment could use Elements to the theme's full potential, but it doesn't stop there. Since the design is
