CSSEDit is the best CSS editor around. It’s a definite must for any web developer using a mac. It allows you to create and edit stylesheets without having to know every css property off the top of your head. The preview function is very, very neat. Certainly made making Redoable a whole lot easier.

Three weeks of work and my first Wordpress theme is ready to be released. It is primarily based on the popular K2 for Wordpress, Unwakeable by Tyler Longren and inspired by many, many other Wordpress blogs out there. My goal was to produce a theme that had everything that I wanted in it, Unwakeable was close which is why I chose to use it as my starting point.
I have incorporated a host of changes/improvements, adding functionality, different structure and support for even more plugins without the need for further template modification. Some of the changes/improvements I have made include:
So what does this theme look like in action…well you are looking at it right now. Everything you see in the sidebar is included in the sidebar by default, all you need to do is install and activate the relevant plugins, and set a couple of options in the admin panel.
There is a complete list of tested and supported plugins on the Redoable homepage. There are also download links for each so that you can get them if you don’t already have them installed. I have also modified a couple of the plugins to suit Redoable, these modified plugins are also available.
Visit the Redoable homepage for more information.

It will be available before the new year arrives, as long as nothing major goes wrong. I have a few little bits and pieces to finish off here and there, mainly thing that were only evident once I had uploaded it to my test blog.
There is also the small matter of IE6 compatibility. This is still a work in progress, and while the content is still viewable in IE6 the way that it renders the CSS is not so flash. I will try and sort some of these issues out, one of which is png transparency, before I release it…but I can’t make any promises just yet. It will be fully IE6 compatible eventually, works great in Firefox and Safari though…
Over the past couple of days I’ve been working hard to get my first Wordpress Theme ready for release. I tinkered (very briefly) with the idea of building a theme form the ground up, but abandoned that path very quickly after realising how much work was involved. I figured it was easier to start with a theme that was close to what I wanted, and then go crazy customising it from there.
As the base for my theme, which I have called Redoable, I used a combination of ideas from other theme that I liked. The most important one was Unwakeable, which is was I used as a base for Redoable. Unwakeable itself is described as being a combination of the current K2 build and Unsleepable.
The build up of Redoable has also included the integration of many plugins, some of which were already enabled in Unwakeable and K2, and other which weren’t. A full list of compatible plugins will be released with the theme. The integration of some extra plugins is all that is left for me to do (I think) before I can release Redoable.
So keep an eye out, sometime between now and 2007, Redoable will go live on this site, and will also be available for download.
