First WordPress Theme
December 5th, 2006 Filed in: News & Updates Jump to comments
After a long wait, my first WordPress theme, GlossyBlue is finally released! It is a glossy hi-tech theme with some of my Web 2 Mini icons. Check it out if you are looking for a WordPress theme for your blog. This is my first WP theme, so let me know if you find any bug, although I have tested on most major browsers (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera) on both PC and Mac.
Any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding this theme, please use the comment form below to post your message.

December 5th, 2006 at 9:58 am
I have found a bug.When I wrote a page,or edit a page,I can not find the option for choosing the template.
December 5th, 2006 at 10:13 am
Wow. Looks wonderful! I might be using this for a little while, I needed something like this, while I create my own design. Wow this is definitely top-notch aesthetics-wise in my own opinion.
December 5th, 2006 at 10:37 am
Wow! You just gotta love it!
December 5th, 2006 at 10:57 am
Hey I have got some question regarding design matter, somehow might not be just design, it’s about postscript printing, if you do have the knowledge.
1. Do I really need to print my artwork with postscript if I’m just using a laser jet printer? Does it make any different? For your info I print directly through Illustrator.
December 5th, 2006 at 12:58 pm

Beautiful Design, easily one of the cleanes wordpress templates I have come across. I really enjoy the Advanced template. I especially like seeing the recent posts and comments listed at the bottom of the screen. I am a big fan of the phat footer.
December 5th, 2006 at 10:40 pm
Very nice layout… one question:
Does the Portfolio Page organize portfolio posts as you’ve got your portfolio organized?
December 5th, 2006 at 10:47 pm
Wow, thanks for all quick responses! I’m glad you guys like it. I have more theme ideas in mind, hopefully I can release them after the holidays.
Steve - no, it doesn’t have the portfolio layout.
December 5th, 2006 at 11:13 pm
Really beautiful!
Congratulations… you are very well talented.

December 8th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
What an excellent theme. I have one question, I am working on a website for my family’s florist business. I am better at the e-commerce side of things, but not design. Would you mind this being used for a commercial application?
December 8th, 2006 at 2:12 pm
cactusPhone - You can use/distribute either personal or commerical, as long the credits are provided.

Nice layout. Really like the detail you put into it.
December 10th, 2006 at 11:51 am
I am now using this theme on my blog. The best of the best and I haven’t seen anything better yet!
December 10th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
is possible to have the psd file of the layout?
December 10th, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Very crisp and clean, are there any plans for colour packs?
December 11th, 2006 at 12:56 am
Nice skin, but am I the only one that’s having trouble with the advanced skin?

December 11th, 2006 at 12:58 am
Hmm, I’m also getting an error with the basic skin. This only happens for the main page. Every other page works fine.
December 11th, 2006 at 1:18 am
Nevermind, found the problem. There was an open tag in one of the posts.
Great skin!
December 11th, 2006 at 4:11 am
do you like the way I organized your theme? hugs from Italy
December 11th, 2006 at 12:52 pm

December 12th, 2006 at 9:52 am
very good site!! congratulation !
December 12th, 2006 at 12:30 pm
What is the value in the css file, of the baclground of categories, archives, link? Is softly green, but i dont find it in the style.css!
December 12th, 2006 at 8:44 pm
Great theme. Now I’m using it too. Two questions:
I would like to remove borders on image links. I’ve commented the border lines on img.center, img.left at style.css, but it doesn’t works.
On the other hand, how can I add an edit link to posts, I’ve tried adding beside of the_category() call at index.php. In other themes it works, but here seems not.
Thanks, I hope you are understanding my poor english.
December 12th, 2006 at 11:53 pm
Pierre - that is “content-bg.gif” at #page rule.
BatU - to remove the image border, add this to style.css:
img {
border: none;
}
To add the edit post link, add this to single.php (right after <?php the_content(); ?>):
<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); ?>
December 13th, 2006 at 8:46 am
Thanks Nick.
The images hasn’t border now. But the edit link doesnt’ appear yet. It’s strange, whenever I put the edit_post_link() it doesn’t works.
December 13th, 2006 at 10:17 am
Hey nick!
1- How to edit the page parent? If i make page parent of one, the botton menù is confused.
2- How to post for example “tutorial” not in a category, but in a page created by me.
Thanks a lot!
December 13th, 2006 at 5:22 pm
I found your site by searching for Christmas icons. I love the ones you have created and also LOVE the GlossyBlue WordPress theme! I’m going to use it right after Christmas!
December 13th, 2006 at 10:36 pm
I must say I like it very much. I did lot of search for good WP themes lately(made some of my favorites available online, too) and this is the one I was searching for. My next blog will use it for sure.
Thanks for your work, it is appreciated.
December 14th, 2006 at 8:28 am
Nick,
could you include any localization support? So, your theme should be amazing.
Thank you.
December 14th, 2006 at 10:16 am
Beautiful theme, I will include this in my third list of best WordPress themes.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:17 am
Simply amazing! I’ve been following this site back from 2005 and just can get enough of it. Your work is realy great. Thanks for sharing.
December 14th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
Hi Nick,
I luv ur theme, it is really great! However I found three minor minor “flaws” in the CSS.
When there is no next or previous page, your theme still shows the green arrow.
Just adding “a” to the end of .previous-entries and .next-entries does the trick (then .previous-entries a {… and .next-entries a {…)
The other one is in h1 where you refer to header-icon.gif which does not come with the images.
The third “flaw” is the #nav which you do not use at all…
Again, really great and thanks for sharing your theme (I converted it to 3 columns).
Seb
December 14th, 2006 at 9:05 pm
Hey there Nick. You’ve heard from me already however I need some assistance in regards to your template. Would you prefer I contact you using these comments, MSN Messenger (if you have it) or e-mail?

Sorry if you didn’t want me to answer, but I just thought I’d help you out. =)
December 18th, 2006 at 10:22 pm

Also, the demo has a calendar and Im wondering if you are able to turn this off?

Nice and clean theme. Thanks. I’ll tweaking them for my blog, just I need to port them from bBlog to WP with full data from bBlog base (almost done).
February 4th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Love the theme! It’s perfect for the redesign I’m in the middle of!
I’ve got a quick question: How difficult would it be to add a “Home” tab to the navigation bar? I’ve played around a little but I can’t seem to make it work.
Is this something simple I should be able to just do or is it a big project? Thanks!
February 4th, 2007 at 9:33 pm
i’m download the theme, i try it and i will tell you about him! thank you very much.

Owww. Great Theme
February 18th, 2007 at 7:05 am
Hi Nick, thanks so much for this excellent piece. I love it!! I’m using it at http://www.pssss.com/
Btw, is there an easy way to control the page tab in the header? For example I would like to add an ‘about’ page but I don’t want it taking up that space there in the header. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for this great theme and the one you’re using now! You’re a genius!
February 18th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
I’ve finished installing it on my site. Looks quite nice, and have done a bit of modifications to it to make it look more unique.

Hi Nick,
It’s okey now. Your such a talented man and generous to share this theme to us. I also have the same question as mital regarding the “Read the rest of the entry”… I want to have either 2 - 3 post on a single page but not the full post, just an excerpt, can you please help us? Thanks!

Hello,
I use your theme on my blog and translated it into german.
Is it ok with you if I offer it as a free download to others?
Thanks a lot and kind regards

Funny that you are using Wordpress and there is no any credits/linkback to wordpress website and you produced a theme with “must link back to ndesign-studio … “, you should include a link back to wordpress website or release your theme with ” please do not remove link credits at the footer”

I made GlossyThree WP theme. That is a 3 column mod of GlossyBlue Basic. For now, it’s available only in Serbian Cyrillic hard-coded locale, but I’ll soon make distributive package. Demo is my own blog (Serbian Cyrillic) :)
Get it from there.
A big thank goes to N.Design Studio for this great theme!

Thanks

i love this theme
i put in my blog, but before i modify
sorry for my bad english, i speak spanish
March 3rd, 2007 at 6:37 pm
I’m using it too. I like the footer better on this blog because it goes all the way to the bottom of the page, but I love the other theme too. Thanks a bunch. After trying a bunch of other themes this one is by far the best. I am a blogger convert and only recently started using WordPress, so far I like it, but I miss my old blog posts.
March 5th, 2007 at 1:27 am
I love this theme, but I have a small problem. I installed the theme as it is, but there is no calendar. I do not know how to figure it out how to make it appear there.
Does anyone know how to insert the calendar widget in the sidebar?
March 7th, 2007 at 9:54 am
your theme design is too cool.
and i switch my new site to this template right the way :D. thanks
March 7th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
I’m using your theme too and it’s gotten me several compliments. My blog (in Dutch) is about Macs, Education and Technology and it compliments especially the Mac aspect of what I’m writing about in my Blog.
I’ve started blogging just a short while ago and I’ve been searching extensively for a quality theme. Once I discovered Glossy Blue I knew what theme to use.
Well, that’s just a long version of: thank you for this beautiful theme.
:)

March 9th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Love the theme… it’s definitely my favorite. I’m only having one issue with it. If you add a link to the Blogroll, and click on Advanced > Image Address and add an image, it doesn’t show up in the sidebar. However it does with the default theme. Is this a known issue? Can it be fixed easily?
March 10th, 2007 at 4:21 am
Very nice work!!
Beautiful and easy to modify.
I love it, and using it right now.

As a newbie to themes, can you please help me on how I can modify the theme by using a psd file?In photoshop?Just by altering a psd file, everything else is altered as well?
Thanks.

Probably a dozen people have already said this and is using this theme right now, but what the heck! It is brilliant!
I love it and yes, I’m using it too!
March 20th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Hey,
Congrats on a very cool theme. I’ve installed it some time ago, and I think it’s great.
However, I do have one small problem.In the sidebar, I have links under “Blogroll” and I’ve created one more category, and placed some links under that one. But all my links appear under “blogrolll”. How do I fix this? Please help me out on this one :) Thanks.
March 23rd, 2007 at 10:35 am
Dear Nick,
I have a problem with this theme. If I save some articles as drafts, these articles are visible in the recent post in the sidebar.
Is it possible to get drafts not visible online?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Daniele
March 23rd, 2007 at 3:01 pm
daniele - That is recent posts widget control. If you logout, it should be invisible.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:14 am
Nick, thanks for your answer.
Sorry, I logout but the drafts are still visible.

Hi Nick.
I’m quite skilled with Photoshop and a bit with Illustrator.
Is it easy for a beginner to edit wordpress with those tools, or does it require a lot of web-programming knowledge?
The GlossyBlue is really nice, it’s just that after seeing a lot of blogs made by the people commenting on this site, it would be nice to be able to personalise it a bit :)
Thanks,
Best regards - Esben S. Jensen :)

Beautiful theme! I’m only beginning to play with it now but it seems I can’t get the Archives page to work. I click on it and it lists only a hyperlink to the uncategorized category. If I click that, it complains that nothing can be found. I’m puzzled…
April 1st, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Nick, fantastic site and theme. You’re doing some really inspiring things with CSS and wordpress. Glossy Blue has been a great learning tool for me as I have experimented with it.
If you have a minute, I have a question, too. I’ve added a specific set of ids to the stylesheet for a page element I had created. After making the additions, the type across the theme gets a little wonky in firefox. Everything seems to render correctly in most other browsers. Any ideas? Are there some wierd inheritance things going on?
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:09 am
Hi Nick,
Thank you so much for this great theme! It’s fantastic.
I just noticed one bug, which has been really easy to fix:
The feed url was incorrect. So all I did was edited footer.php and removed the two feed: bits of code from that file.
I’m sure that’s a real n00b type thing though =) But anyway, it might help someone.
Cheers,
David

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the wonderful theme. I have two issues though. Hope you will be able to help me out there.
1. I’m using Gregarious plugin for Digg. The Digg icon take separate space in itself and does not come next to the text. Is there something that we can do about that?
2. The author’s name does not appear either in the header or in the footer of the post. How do I make it appear in the header.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Check out the website and you will understand what I am saying.

Hi Nick, great theme!
I am trying to implement it in my site http://www-webhosting.cz/ which is in Czech language. Therefore I had to change the encoding from Western (Latin1) to utf-8 in order to correctly display specific Eastern European characters. Unfortunately the design breaks then but only in IE, in FF it works fine. Any idea how to fix it?
I do appreciate your help :)
May 2nd, 2007 at 10:35 pm
I love the theme, as it is perfect for what I am trying to do, however I have one minor issue.
The title of my theme “Gardner Cole’s Slapdash Jottings of a Virtuoso…” overlaps the “Consistently Inconsistent” which is the “description” of my site…
I know where to change the font size of the description, but not of the title.
Any idea of what file and line I need to change the title size, so that it doesn’t overlap?
I’m using the latest version of fireyferret on OS X. Email me if you can!

May 19th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Hi Nick,
this will be redundant, but wow, what-a-nice-work. Not only on the design side, that is truly impressive, but also on the code / CSS side, which is SO much clear than many CSS’s I’ve seen around. I tweaked Glossyblue a bit to make it “darker”, if you want to have a look: http://imil.net/wp
Thanks again
