It’s been quite a while since I have released a wordpress theme but I have been inspired by a lot of things recently so here’s a new one!
This sparkly theme has features including post images, threaded comments and drop down category menus. It has been tested on WordPress 2.9 in Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and IE6+.
The layout is based on the 960.gs vertical grid and the baseline.css horizontal grid. There are some neat CSS3 enhancements including RGBA transparency, text shadow and rounded corners.
Glitter is simple enough to be used for any type of blog, but the cute and girly style makes it ideal for the personal blog of a mommy, craft enthusiast or even a teen blogger.
