New WordPress Theme: NoNa 1.0 Live

Edward Caissie — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:54:00 +0000

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 .

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.

Pinup Meets Grunge 1.0.2 Live

Edward Caissie — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:16:58 +0000

Hot on the heels of our latest update to our WordPress theme Shades is our newest free WordPress theme, Pinup Meets Grunge, which is now live at WordPress.org as of Aug 31, 2009. This is the initial release, version 1.0.2, and here is the theme’s description from the style.css file:

A pretty pin-up girl posing in the header highlights this grunge based theme and beautifully blends the user option enabled background colors. The built-in user option to change the background color gives you the creative oppurtunity to truly make this theme your own. Do not be scared off by the dark look, try installing your own copy and play with the color changing option for yourself. If you're not a fan of pinup girls feel free to drop us a note and we can discuss additional options.

Since the WordPress Extend Theme repository only allows for one “screenshot” we opted to go with the default black, but in order to help visualize the other possibilities of a user defined option that changes the theme’s background color we are including some additional screenshots in this post. You might also notice the very extensive area available for longer titles and very long descriptions.
