Wordpress.Fun Theme by Smashing Magazine
Details: The theme is built with WordPress 2.5.1 and is only partially backwards compatible. The theme also works with Wordpress 2.6. As this theme uses a few .png files, it is recommended that you make sure that the image paths to these are correct (for IE6). You find the two CSS rules in the ie.css file inside your theme folder. The theme can be used with or without widgets (below the fold).
Requirements: Wordpress 2.5.1 or Wordpress 2.6
I’ve had some people asking me how did I customize the right sidebar of my blog, from the RSS Feed link at the top till the categories below. I’m writing this article to try to help you achieve something like I did on Paintbits on your Wordpress Blog.
So… you’ve happen to find my website and started to think about building your own blog? I can understand that… 
Well, now seriously, I’ve had some requests to make a guide on how to build a Wordpress blog from scratch, so here I am writing this to you, hoping it will be useful in some way.
… And we’ve got it allready. 
The migration went smooth apart from a little problem with K2 in which Paintbits theme (created by me with the name lumen) is based on.
For the Users this is almost the same, for the Admins this is great. A lot of new changes under the hood.
If you interested you can see all the changes here and here.
The official Wordpress blog announced that version 2.5 of the well known blog is about to be released. They posted a sneak preview of the redesigned interface. Happy Cog. is the company behind the new overhaul.
Matt says it’s basically done and stable, and could be released , but they’d like to incorporate feedback from a wider audience before making it available to the general public. Wordpress 2.5 includes some features as “A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times”. Sounds promising.
