So what’s the new Wordpress Brawl theme all about?

It’s a brown theme with a really cool header (which you can change ofcourse). For the ones that love widgets: we got it covered! And ofcourse it has valid code (css + xhtml). Go and check it out and tell us what you think of it.

You can download the theme for free at the themeviewer. Take a look below for the links of this Wordpress theme.

Here’s the newest: a very simple blue/green theme. It isn’t fancy schmanzy. It only has 2 images, totalling 1.33 kb! As you can imagine the theme is supposed to load very fast. But don’t think that the design has been neglected.

The theme is inspired by the movie Little Miss Sunshine.

User comment at IMDB:

More than a fresh ray of sunshine!

Here is a film that lives up to the expectations of a very funny trailer. It’s an oddball comedy, and it’s dark, and it’s funny, and it’s touching, and it will charm the pants off many in the audience. Here is a simple story in which our lovely contestant and her family try to find their way to California so that she can prove to the world she is not a loser! The premise itself can lead to years of therapy for a family that should get a group rate in psychiatric care.

Expert editing and superb comedic performances from all the principals involved will have many overlook the fact that the plot line is a little too contrived at times. The set pieces will have the audience howling with laughter as we see different characters trying to overcome some pretty irreverent obstacles. The scene at the gas station contains moments of deep sadness and offbeat humor, something that Carrell pulls off wonderfully, and none will be able to look at the trunk of a car, some dubious literary material, and highway patrol the same way after seeing the infamous scene in the film.

The best is of course, saved for last, and by this time we are waiting for something outrageous which “Little Miss Sunshine” delivers unapologetically. A classic track will probably be recharged for a new generation, as the bonds of family precariously balance a moment that could be as tacky as they come.

“Sunshine” is one of the best things to come out of American cinema this year, an original film that relies on a script that understands the differences between generations in the same family. It doesn’t explain why each character is as quirky as can be, and it doesn’t build much background because it is not needed to make the film work. Kinnear, Colette, Abigail, Arkin, and Correll are a fine team and keep the film’s feel fresh throughout the film. Here is a family that has no special qualities or powers, a family that will make us rejoice that creativity is still alive in Hollywood, a film that will provide us with plenty of much needed sunshine in an otherwise pretty dull summer

If you haven’t seen the movie: go and see it! I can recommend it to everyone.

We, the designers, have managed to create 2000 themes in about 10 months. That’s a whopping 200 themes per month. As far as i can see Wordpress is going strong. Our little empire is growing and we’ve come a long way since May the 2nd 2006. Wordpress is flourishing, as well as the Wordpress community of users and designers.

Credit come, where credit is due : Props to my fellow designers and the community! And last but not least: The undersigned!

And last but not least, number 2000 himself:

Minimalistic theme for Wordpress, supports widgets, gravatars – xhtml & css valid. Thanks Gerrit & Robert!

I will also try to invest more time in writing, i seem to have neglected that aspect ( of the website ). last year it was all about the releases, this year, however, i will try to write more about things concerning wordpess for example and other things that tickle my fancy.

Without further ado, Amsterdamn version 3!

Update:

I have changed the background of the theme. Although I liked the previous one, I believe that this one is much better.

Update 2:

I have been playing around with the code and have been able to reduce it.This means that the theme will be faster to load on your website. Besides that I have also optimized the theme for search engines. This way your website will be better indexed and have a higher ranking. But I also took a look at the design of the theme.

I have edited and adjusted some parts of the design. This way the theme will look even better on your weblog. You can download the updated version of the theme above.

Please note that the screenshot on themes.wordpress.net isn’t the correct one. The one that you see here above is the correct one. We will keep on updating our themes, so be sure to check out this website once in a while.

Update 1:

I changed the way the look of the title. And I also added a description to the top of the theme. Besides that I have centered the menu. Also fixed some minor issues with the colours of the theme.

Update 2:

I had to remove widgets support for the theme because it didn’t work well together with page nav. I will be dropping page nav support in the next release of the theme. But it will have widgets support in return.

Update 3:

Instead of page nav it now has the standard browsing features of Wordpress. Just use the download link above to download the widget friendly version.

Please leave a comment if you have any problems with the Gray Wolf theme. I’m looking forward to fix it. This way we can improve the user experience for you and your visitors.

Amsterdamn in 2007 will be this:

- Search Engine optimization
I have been reading a lot about SEO optimization lately. And I am going to implement the knowledge that I have gathered in my new themes.
Every theme from now on will be equipped with Search Engine Optimization. Hopefully your weblog will get more exposure thanks to this.

- Options page
Some of you already noticed that I started to use the Wordpress Admin more and more. Every new theme in 2007 will get it’s own options page in the WP admin.
This way the users are able to edit basic things without having to edit the code. I have noticed that there a lot of novice users who use Wordpress.
With this small effort I am able to make our themes (even more) user friendly.

- Neutral themes
At least 5 of our new themes this year will be “neutral”.It will be easy to edit them and give them your own personal touch to it.
With the options page it will be also possible to choose what you want to use. In other words more whitespace!

- At least 15 new themes
Last year we managed to release 15 themes. This year I am planning to release at least the same amount.

- Wordpress
I will continue to release themes for Wordpress. There is a chance that I will port our themes to other blog platforms.
If you are eager to do the job: e-mail me!

- Widgets Support
I haven’t paid much attention to widgets. Basically because I never use them.
But there seems to be a demand for them. Therefore every new theme will compatible with widgets.

- Amsterdamn
And some goals for my own website:
- By then end of 2007 Amsterdamn.org will be at least a PR6 (and maybe a PR7)
- I will enter the Technorati Top 1000 (now 16xx)
- Amsterdamn themes will have 35K downloads at the Wordpress theme repository
- Our Alexa Rank will be lower than 150K

I’m looking forward to what 2007 will bring on the interwebs!

And here’s a new theme that I made last year:
