I’ve decided to release a new theme for general consumption today. It is called Utica Avenue, named after the Brooklyn, New York subway station. End of the 4 line, for those who would like to know. :)
I’ve put alot of effort into this theme and hopefully it will meet expected standards. I have not tested it in <ie 6, Opera, Safari or IE for Mac (much less any Linux browsers.
Issues at hand that I am not thrilled with:
Sidebar is called before the Loop which means all the junk in the sidebar is displayed in the source BEFORE the content - not ideal for screen readers but until I find a better solution, it’ll have to do.
You can see it in action by clicking on the Utica Avenu link in the sidebar.
Download it here.
This theme is intended for Wordpress 1.5.

I like it! Apart from the yellow/blue comment block at the end of the post. Looks weird.

What about whippin’ up (’cause that’s what you make it sound like, that writing these programs is a snap) a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ for those of us with MT (aka have a Monstrous Time trying to blog!).
P.S. Now that you’ve changed places of employment, do you work in Bal’more, hon? Or do you still commute to that wondrous place 45 min. south from here but which feels like it’s a world away.
redsaid 02.22.05 at 1:15 pm
Oh, and I’ve even taken it upon myself to do half the work of writing said MT program for you. Yes, that’s right, I came up with the name for it.
Make like John Waters and be loyal to Bawl’more in your program name. So instead of calling it Utica Avenue or Times Square or something New Yawkish, utilize this fab lil’ city of ours: So how’s about calling it: Hampden, hon! (See? Alliteration and everything.) Or: The underutelized Baltimore subway system is a huge bust for the city budget!
Or… Welcome to Bawl’more, where the previous two police commissioners taught the criminals around here a thing or two!
What do you MEAN it’s a little too verbose for a computer program or plug-in name or whatever it is that you techies call these things?!? ;-)

I like the Utica theme a lot. I gotta say though, that you were really onto something with Cartography. There’s an atmosphere about that theme (especially the header) that’s excellent.
Hey Aaron, could you show me your sidebar script? I’m brand new to WP and I’m looking for an exhaustive link list like yours for my sidebar but I haven’t seen anything like it around yet. I’d appreciate if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi Technosailor,
I like your Utica Avenue theme quite a bit - in fact, I’m planning to use it for a site I’m setting up now (fastlittlearticle.com). I’ll provide a credit, e.g. “strongly based upon the Utica Avenue theme by Technosailor,” or abrazell if you prefer.
Planning to make a few tweaks - the blue & yellow bars after each post are a little strong for my taste, and the “Links” heading in the sidebar ends up being different formatting than the other sidebar headings. Looks great overall, though!
Are you doing further work/support on this theme?
Cheers, and thanks,
nikof
Aaron Brazell 10.17.05 at 8:55 pm
Hey Nikof–
Probably no support but it depends on what needs to be supported. Enjoy the theme!

I am using your template for now, it’s really beautiful I like it a lot :) At least until I learn how to write my own for wordpress :D
Anyway my question was about the sidebar… do you know how I can add my link button images and javascript stuff to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Aaron Brazell 10.20.05 at 7:18 pm
Beltane, not to sound trite, but the same way you would do it in any HTML layout.
For images:
<img src="path/to/image.jpg" />For javascript…well, it completely depends on the javascript and what it’s supposed to do.
