New Support Forums Online • 0
240208
I’ve switched from Vanilla to phpBB3. I’ve even managed to get all the posts from the old support forum into the new one, along with all the users (please let me know if you can’t login). It wasn’t the easiest process though I had to install phpBB2, then convert the Vanilla DB to phpBB2, and then install phpBB3, then convert the phpBB2 DB into phpBB3. And it even worked, I will admit I had doubts. Anyway the support forums are back, I’ll try and style them up a bit soon to match the rest of the site.
pipeDream 1.0 theme for WordPress • 9
240208
PipeDream is based on the design that I used on this site in the latter part of 2007. It comes with 21 different color schemes built-in, which can be easily selected from the ‘pipeDream options’ page. Also included, and configurable from the options page, is the simple integration of twitter, flickr and delicious.
Features
- ‘Home page’ design, with single post, 10 recent posts and sidenotes.
- ‘Archives’ page template, no configuration necessary.
- Choice of 3 different ‘background’ colors: Dark Blue, Black/Grey and White.
- Choice of 7 different ‘accent’ colors: Orange, Yellow, Green, Pink, Red, Purple, Blue.
- Twitter integration, just enter your twitter username into the theme options to display your latest tweet on your homepage.
- Flickr integration, just enter your flickr id into the theme options to display thumbnails of your last 4 flickr images.
- del.icio.us integration, just enter your delicious username into the theme options to display your last 5 links on your homepage.
- Full support for Wordpress 2.3, including Tags
Installation
Installation is super simple, just download the pipedream zip file (link is at the top right of this page), un-zip it, and upload to your webserver using your favourite FTP client. Then in your WordPress admin, go to the ‘presentation’ tab and select ‘pipeDream’ to activate the theme.
You can then goto the ‘pipeDream options’ page and choose your color scheme, and setup any of the other options to suit your needs.
Support
You may leave comments here if you have any questions, and I will try to answer as many as I can. I hope to get my support forums back up and running in the next couple of weeks.
Donations
Themes don’t design and code themselves, they take precious time to build, test and support. So if you use and like pipeDream, or any of my other work, please consider a donation, the link it at the top left of this page just below the download link. All donations are greatly appreciated.

Just after Christmas I began work on my most recent project (yes I probably should have been doing one of the other dozen projects I’m always talking about). RaceSquad is a fantasy motorsport manager/game that I’ve built from the ground up based on the things I’ve liked and disliked in the many other similar ‘programs’ I participated in over the years. If you’re a motorsport fan, why not sign up to see what you think, feedback is more than welcome. http://racesquad.com
