50+ New WordPress Themes: March 2011

A few things can be learned from this latest roundup of new WordPress themes , all released within the past five months or so. First of all, there’s a definite trend toward more premium themes, with fewer high-quality free themes available. Minimalist and simple, clean themes are definitely the favorite of designers at the moment, representing the vast majority of the themes in this roundup. There’s also been an increase in jQuery integration in themes, though this has been a growing trend for awhile now. A large percentage of themes in this list have at least some jQuery integration built-in, and some have quite a lot. Free Themes High quality free themes are getting rarer. Sure, there are still plenty of great options out there, but it seems like fewer free themes are being released at all, and finding the high-quality ones is even harder. Below are more than twenty high-quality free themes released in the past five months or so. Imbalance Imbalance is a m...

How to Remove the Admin Bar from WordPress 3.1

You may have noticed that there is a new admin bar add to WordPress 3.1 that shows up when you are logged in as a subscriber or above. While I can see that this might be useful on some sites, for most this is just an annoyance and makes the site look too generically ‘WordPress’ or detracts from existing functionality that you may have added, such as search adaptations. For example if you have a site that requires people to login before they can make a comment, or login before they can download, this will add to the screen a bunch of ugliness that is totally unwanted. Not to mention a bunch of scripts and codes that will slow the response time of your website. So with that in mind I have created a bunch of samples that you can add to your functions.php header.php if you prefer) to remove this option. (or For your functions.php ? 1 2 3 4 5 if (!is_admin() && !current_user_can( 'add_users' )){      wp_deregister_script( 'admin-bar' );  ...

Browser Support for CSS3: What’s the Current Status?

Creating a website with HTML5 and CSS3 without having to worry about using techniques like progressive enrichment and polyfills is the ultimate dream for modern-day front-end developers. But unfortunately, mainly because of the widespread use of IE6-8 , that is still just a distant dream. But it is getting closer. I thought it would be a good idea to summarize where CSS3 stands as far as browser support goes, so you can feel comfortable making decisions about what to use or abuse when incorporating CSS3 into new projects. This outline will be divided up into sections beginning with the safest CSS3 features to use, and going down the list towards the not-so-safe. Of course, in all cases, you have the option to declare fallbacks and polyfills that will give nonsupporting browsers a similar and/or acceptable experience. Just remember to take care that your content is accessible and your brand isn’t negatively impacted by any design decisions you make. Also, for the purpose...

Web Design Tips & Advice from A to Z

This is a guest article from Natalie Schnotz*. Enjoy her web design tips. – Avoid flashy multimedia. Flashy graphics and multimedia may look nice, but they can make it hard for your visitors to get the information they want from your site, especially when viewing from a non Flash compatible device. Browser compatibility. Make sure you check your page on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari & their different versions. These five web browsers make up about 95% of the world’s browsers. So, test your site out on each of them. Clean layout. Don’t fill your page up with ’stuff’. White space is good – it enhances the look of your site. Try to keep your content as the focus of your site. Use fonts that will be available on all computers so your page doesn’t end up looking messy. Design for all screen resolutions. If you design stretch layouts that can fit any screen resolution, you can ensure all your visitors see a visually appealing and profession...

15 Comments OS X Lion Interface Tweaks

Apple’s latest update to their Mac operating system, OS X Lion , brings with it a few user interface tweaks. Here are 4 methods I’ve noticed that Lion uses to make its interface appear simpler. (If you’re interested, you can find more screenshots here from the developer preview release) Weaker button separators Here’s a simple effect that simplifies the feel of double buttons. Take the forward and back buttons in Finder. They’re a double button—two buttons that are merged together on one edge. In Lion, the edge separating them has been turned into a line that does not span the whole height of the button: It’s still a separator, but it has been weakened. The border around the buttons seems to have been toned down a little, too. I think it’s a nice change; it brings the content of the button forward (the icons or labels) and makes the thing feel simpler in the case of double button because now it looks more like one element rather than two. Less buttons Here’s an example from...

The Best To-do App is… Gmail?!

I’ve tried out tons of project management and to-do list apps over the years, and I could never stick to one of them for long. They all share the same problem: too much friction. Here’s the typical workflow for any of these apps: Received a new email asking you to add a cover sheet to your TPS report Open the task management app or site Create a new task Type in or copy/paste the task Even if your to-do app is already open, you’re still switching back and forth from email to app, loosing your focus each time. Basically, its a lot of extra hassle and wasted time for something that’s supposed to make you more productive. New apps like Taskforce aim to solve the problem by integrating the to-do app directly in the Gmail window. But while that’s a great idea, my solution is even simpler: Gmail is the to-do app. Let me show you how it all works. 1. Enable superstars Superstars is a Gmail lab feature that enables extra indicators instead of just the standard yel...
