WordPress Theme Challenge. Breoc Theme v Thesis. I love WordPress which is why I say ouch! But a good ouch. After a heated debate between Matt Mullenweg and Chris Pearson creator of the Thesis theme, I felt it was maybe time to join the discussion. I have to admit that the Thesis theme powers this blog and a few others. I don’t like the fact that it does because I go with Matt, the GPL is the GPL and charging for a theme seems wrong to me and so….. the creation of Breoc. I will start work on the creation of a theme that will have similar functionality to Thesis but will be open sourced and GPL’d.
The initial element will be to set the theme up with a simple white theme and the choice of columns and widgets. It will be installed as a 3 column theme with the choice of where you want to place the columns, content, sidebar, sidebar or sidebar, content and sidebar. It will also enable you to change this to 2 or 1 column either site wide of per page. And finally, we will add the chance to include a 4 column home page. Widgets will be available:
- In the header
- Between the header and the main body of the page
- In the content column, either before or after the content
- In the sidebars
- After the main body of the page
- In the footer
Hopefully that will be a start. Where next please?
Any comments please?
