The WP Now theme option panel has finally arrived on the Huex bus, and it couldn't be happier to finally come face to face with you! As a WP Now theme user, you should be pretty excited to come across the newly added panel as well. How come? Let me explain… In the past, certain things like setting the featured category and editing the advertisements had to be hard coded into a theme option file. Then that file required you to overwrite the existing file via FTP… and nobody likes saving file

Over the past month, we've been keeping rather tight-lipped regarding the latest WordPress themes we've been creating. But we think now is a good time to loosen the unyielding doors and give everyone a glimpse at what to expect over the next month. Huex is the theme that is closest to being released. This theme went through an entire catalog of names until I finally settled and became pleased with Huex. The title of this theme comes from all of the six different hues  you can choose fo

Over the past few weeks, an epic battle between gaming websites and WordPress blogs has been progressing. On one side, the gaming beast gloats with huge game databases, reviews, news, updates, previews, and a sleek yet complex prevailing design structure. On the other side is WordPress, an orderly and methodical platform that dictates proper web standards and usability. The clash between the two giants was long and rigrous one, yet the dust has recently settled from the fiasco. We discovered tha

Over the past five weeks, WordPress Now has been working extremely hard to bring you some spectacular themes. Even though neither of our themes have reached the point of public release, we would like to take the time to give you a little peak behind closed doors. Shortly after releasing VintMint, we set our sights on creating a gaming theme that didn't even appear to run off of WordPress. 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
