Storm Riders II
I very much look forward to Storm Riders II because the main actors in Storm Riders (amazon) will be back.
Oriental theme featured
Update! I hear a lot of problems in this layout with some plugins. I guess this has something to do with your plugin using
clear: left;
or
clear: both;
in its CSS. I recoded this layout using relative positioning instead of float. This and subpage support have been added in version 1.1.x.
Aw, how sweet! My oriental theme got featured at wordpress themes. That made my day!

CSS Frameworks
I write my CSS from scratch and I know enough tricks/hacks to pull out most of all what I want to accomplish. Although I’ve always heard the yahoo YUI project and understand what its reset css achieves, I never knew there are so many other CSS frameworks out there. Hidden pixels has listed a great number of them. I don’t know if I will consider using them. I can’t see I will gain a lot of benefits from what I’ve done by using a framework but I might look into it since I have some time off work coming up

- version 1.3.0 – Made compatible with wordpress version 3.5.1. Fixed some bugs viewed under the latest versions of the browers. Added responsive web styling. Added support for wordpress 3 menu.

sIFR lets you use your favorite font on your websites by cleverly working with Flash, JavaScript and CSS.
I saw it used in the Bella theme. I don’t know how compatible it is for all browsers but I might just try it out in my future themes
WordPress widget
Man, I cannot believe how long I’ve been putting off implementing widgets for wordpress. I really want to be able to use those nice widgets although I don’t like the way some of the default ones are styled but I still think it will really make theme creation a lot easier. Here’s a tutorial on how to use multiple sidebars.
