See WicketPixie in action on the blog of Chris Pirillo. Why it’s my favourite? Designed by the famous Matt Brett, WicketPixie provides a great web 2.0 design with some fabulous options behind the scene with which you can change the complete theme within seconds. From the font, font’s colour, background image, the headings’ style : approximately 99% of the design.
Download a trimmed version of the WicketPixie Premium Wordpress theme
I’ve trimmed it and removed many things I consider a bit too complicated to implement for beginners. To use the theme, just download and activate it within Appearance. Also, load a couple of widgets to see some actions in the sidebar but don’t activate the Search widget as you already have the search bar at the top.
To use the theme : Login into your Wordpress dashboard > Appearance > Themes > WicketPixie Social Media Theme > Activate “WicketPixie Social Media Theme”
To customise the theme : within your Wordpress dashboard > Appearance > WicketPixie Options > bring the changes you want > Save changes. You can revert to the default style by selecting Reset Syle Options within that same page.
My favourite features : wordpress 2.7 compatible, widget-optimised, compatible with latest major browsers, the upper-bar which follows the scrolling of the page providing a great way to present your visitors some of your favourite stuffs, related posts for single posts and gravatar ready.
My changes to the theme : removed lots of bloated stuffs, cleaned the WicketPixie Options page, archives template added, removed lots of functions which I consider many won’t use, no need to use or activate any plugins in order to use the theme(it works out of the box)
Thanks to Chris Pirillo for letting us download his marvelous theme and Matt Brett for putting it into shape.
