New WordPress Theme: NoNa 1.0 Live

The hard working folk on the WordPress Themes team have sent me another email:

Congratulations, your new theme Nona is now available to the public at <http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/nona>.

I still think this is one of the better things to read in my inbox.

NoNa is the direct replacement for Pinup Meets Grunge and will be carried forward as such. Here is the description from style.css:

Missing the pretty pin-up girl posing in the header, this grunge based theme originally known as Pinup Meets Grunge beautifully blends user option enabled background colors. This built-in option gives you the creative opportunity to truly make this theme your own. Do not be scared off by the dark look, try installing your own copy and playing with the background color changing option yourself. Remember, if you are not a fan of “blank” headers feel free to drop us a note and we can discuss additional options.

Although we are disappointed Pinup Meets Grunge is no longer available at WordPress.org we can only hope a grassroots campaign will spring up with everyone writing to themes@wordpress.org asking them to remove the suspended status from Pinup Meets Grunge.

Desk Mess Mirrored 1.4 Live

Desk Mess Mirrored version 1.4 is now live at WordPress.org as of Sept 21, 2009. This announcement would normally have been made yesterday when we received the news ourselves but just prior to the email notice we received another email.

This email advised us that our theme Pinup Meets Grunge was suspended and after many emails the essential reason is:

… while it isn’t obvious and over the top adult/mature
(like a theme with pornography in it), I do think it’s fairly
suggestive and trying to push where the line is for adult/mature in
the theme directory.

Given this, you will now find the Pinup Meets Grunge theme available on our main web site where we will continue to maintain and update it in the same fashion as any of our other themes currently hosted on the WordPress Extend Theme repository.

You should also keep an eye open for the “replacement” theme to be published on WordPress.org in the near future.
