Mystique Theme

I spent most of the day customizing the Mystique wordpress theme. The theme is ridiculously great. It has all of the features I’d ever dream of. In fact, I got rid of some of my plugins + widgets because this theme covers them.

Also, the theme author uses jQuery on all of the UI effects. Another score for jQuery

YOU + YOU rule my world! Thank you!

Added a new page Nostalgic Old Layouts.

daffodil was last updated in Feb 2009, because of this full compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress cannot be guaranteed. daffodil is provided as is, without support and there are no plans for any future updates.

Name: daffodil
Date created: 10/02/2008
Wordpress: Version 2.6.2
Tags: fixed width, three columns, widgets, valid CSS, widget ready, simple, valid XHTML, left sidebar, green, yellow, black, flower, daffodil

upgraded to wordpress 2.3

I’ve upgraded to wordpress 2.3 mainly to use their new sidebar widget feature. I thought it will be overly cool to not have to rewrite the sidebar.php for every theme. However, I’d like to have different sidebars for different views. Like the sidebar for my index page would look different than the sidebar for my single post. I haven’t yet figured out how to create additional sidebar for a theme. Do you know how to do it? Please share if you do. Thanks! N/M I figured out. It’s talked about here.

Consider the Ultimate Tag Warrior 3 plugin
If you are like me and use the UTW plugin, you might notice wordpress 2.3 now has its own native tags support. After the upgrade, I notice the old tags are not converted. I thought there must be already a way to convert them. Fortunately for us, wordpress 2.3 has also a built in way to convert your tags from the UTW plugin. Just go to your wordpress admin and look under Manage > Import. You will see the UTW import option.
