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.
