Blog2Life is proud to announce the release of Word Press’d.. Blog2Life’s first free Wordpress theme release.
Overview
Word Press’d aims to give Wordpress users around the world the chance to make their blog look similar to the highly anticipated Wordpress Admin Theme release with version 2.5.
The theme tries to incorporate the best parts of the Admin theme while at the same time add customisability, compatibility and suitable to serve as a blog template while at the same time be visually attractive and have a light quick loading framework.
We feel that Word Press’d meets all these criteria..
The theme itself is open and has lots of white space allowing for visitors to quickly find key areas of your website.. such as titles, comments and adverts. For example the index page shows the latest blog post on the website contained within a styled box with a bright contrasting coloured header.. drawing attention of visitors landing on the index to your newest post. The open and light (white) theme also makes adverts highly visible (especially those present above the fold).
Heard enough?..
Features

Wordpress Compatability
Word Press’d is fully compatible on Wordpress 2.5+
it may work on previous versions with a little editing of the gravatar code and a few other commands. (If you changed the theme to work on previous versions please drop me and email or comment on what you’ve done and I’ll make those changes so other users on that version can use this theme).

We hope you enjoy the theme and we hope it brings your wordperss blog that little extra something. All the best.
Yes, it is possible to add an image into this theme. I assume you want to replace the blog name (and possibly the blog info) with an image. If so the image should not be greater in height than 55pixels and should have a background colour of #e4f2fd.
To add the image to your site you need to go to design > Theme Editor > header.php .. and look for these 2 lines of code
<h1><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>/” rel=”nofollow”><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?></a></h1>
<h2 id=”infostyle” style=”margin-top:-4px;”><?php bloginfo(’description’); ?></h2>
and replace them with
<h1><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>/” rel=”nofollow”><img src=”image-url” style=”border:0;” alt=”Logo”></a></h1>
Hope this helps
OWNZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!! looks so nice!

I have a problem with the search. The “Latest Post” won’t go away so it will always show even when you search for something. I understand that it shows in the normal view but not when you do a search, or what do you think?
Apart from that I think it is a great theme ![]()
a really sleek theme, I like it a lot.
just wondering, it would be great if you could somehow add javascript tabs on the sidebar to display ‘recent comments’ or perhaps ‘recent posts’.
I’m sure it would be the next free premium wp theme ![]()
Hello and thanks for the replies guys.. it’s just this feedback that is needed to get the theme whipped into perfection.
@ Gudowski
Thanks for the feedback, its great to see that the theme has made an impression.. I hope future releases will help further put Word Press’d on the global map.
@ Peter
Thanks for bringing this to my attention!.. I’ll make sure this problem is fixed in the next update to Word Press’d.. and it’s great to see the theme actually live!
Thanks for using the theme and keep checking back I’ll try to fix that problem in the next few days and get a new version out.
@ frops
Firstly.. Thanks for the comment! I like what you are thinking.. i think that would be a perfect addition to the theme and I already have it visuallised in my head. I’ll try to incorporate this into the next update too..
@ All
Again.. thanks for the feedback guys.. with your help the sky is the limit..
Jamie no problem, its really nice work
I will use it on my label podcast blog
I working on it now ![]()
Thats great to hear! Make sure you check back for any updates to the theme.. I’ll be pushing some out over the next week.
And like I said, if you do recode and you think it will benefit the theme as a whole drop me an email with the additions and I’ll see what I can do.
Nice website btw.. particularly like the multicoloured lined image in your header (and on a side note I’m really into that music genre)
Great theme, thanks
Hmmmm….
This what I waiting for.
I like this theme vey much. Thanks guys…
I’m working on a three-column version of your great theme. However, how do I call a second sidebar - <?php get_sidebar() only calls the single sidebar. Thanks.
Ed
HI!
I have been looking for theme in “wp admin” style for long time now. So… THANKS :)!
I wounder… is it possible to redesign “hamingway” theme in to “wp admin” style?
Anyway.. Thanks :)!
Nice looking theme, keep up the good work. You have inspired me to also think about designing my own theme.
Nicely done. WP should consider making this their own default theme. I have added it to my collection.
This may be the theme I’ve been looking for that I can wrap around a new WP/Mozilla tech/geek site I’m currently building. One question though…
What would be the best way to add page navigation to single post pages? Kind of a “must have” for me. Usually I use the page navigation code from the “Default” theme for themes without it but if you have a better suggestion…? Great theme, BTW!
The “WordPress.com Stats” and “Google Analyticator” plugins does not work with your theme. And you does not have any -tag in your footer. As a matter of fact, I can not find any ending body tag at all.
@ Peter
Hi Peter, thanks a bunch for pointing this gapping problem out.. I’ll work at the theme tonight and try to fix as much as I can. Keep reporting back with any errors you find..
@ Ed
Hope this tutorial helps , and keep in touch with the theme
@ Kirk M
Word Press’d has an automated codex, wordpress’s default along the top header just under the name and site caption. Any new pages are automatically added to there. (Get back to me if I’ve misunderstood)
Excellent theme! Thank you!
Could you please tell me why my sidebar is always on the bottom, never on the right side in Firefox?
@ Russian
Hello.. thanks for commenting on the theme, glad you like it.
As for ths sidebar error.. I’m not completely sure.. I did cross check for browser compatability but I’ll re-check it in a moment..
Please look out for the version update and download and test it on your site. I’ll be uploading it in just a few minutes when I’ve written some installation instructions. I hope this will solve your problems.
v0.2 covers fixes for all known errors memtioned in the comments and a few I found while browsing. It is also xhtml compliant
Version 0.2 Is now available for download..
And for russian I double checked the browser compatibility, its good as far as I can tell. Few improved features, xhtml compliance and fixed an error with wordpress stats plugin.
Enjoy!
I’ll add the javascrpt features in the next update,
Hello Jamie,
I uploaded and translated ver 0.2 and tested in IE 7, Firefox 2 in Windows XP and Firefox 2 in Ubuntu Hardy. Sidebar sits now where it supposed to be, neatly on the right side, both in Firefox and Windows. Thank you.
1 more issue came up. A very small one but quite uncomfortable. If I sort the posts by tags, then the latest Post would be ALWAYS on the top.
Just wanted to let you know.
Also if you click on the feed icon, it leads you to 404 page (I had to manually define the url in mine to get rid of this error)
Overall, I’m very happy with it so far.
Thank you.
Great job.
Great news!..
Thanks for the swift feedback!
I’ll get onto those problems right away!
v0.3 has just been uploaded!
v0.3 is working fine for me no error so far and all the links are working too
thanx Jamie for your assistance buddy
waiting for your mail ![]()
thanks Jamie
msg me on my msn when You get some free time same like mail here, but domain put “phatt.pl”
Thanks for Your opinion too
I wanna do something like streaming audio player on top like on my friend wp : http://www.marcooz.pl
I want to do same, but with able to choose what You wanna stream on Your site etc
for this podcast of my label You know
write me: gudowski@phatt.pl ![]()
Thanks for this one, this looks sober and cool I’m using it for a static web site using WP ![]()
Thanks for making this very nice blog template available (I DLed v 0.3).
Do you think dynamic menus will make it in a future release?
Yes.. As mentioned in the post above dynamic menu’s will be added to version 0.4 along with a few extra additions.
Keep yours eyes open for it’s release! I’d be posting a post for new updates from this time forth, so an easy way to keep up-to-date is by joining Blog2Life RSS feed.
really nice theme, i am from Beijing , a friend ask me to come here!
I have already implemented this theme for my blog. Take a look at http://mohanbn.com/blog/
I have modified the comments area to show the comments count as well… feel free to suggest any more tweaks
Cheers!
Mohan
Nice theme, thanks.
It works perfectly under Mac(both Safari & Firefox), but under Windows, there are some layout issues, please give a look, thanks
@ Rao
Thanks, glad you like it rao
@ Mohan
Hi mohan, thats great your using the theme and adding to it! The comment number looks good in place of the gravatar and I’m going to add that into the theme in a different place.
Thanks for giving some feedback!
@ Dennis
Hey dennis, thanks for mentioning the mac side of it as I can only work from a windows.. as for the windows errors could you elaborate further on what those errors are?
Hi Jamie, thanks for your reply. and I’ve sent you an email with the screenshot pointing out the display errors I’m talking about. Hope that would help.
Nice theme, thanks
A ping back from Techiesouls.com very nice looking theme ![]()
Can I suggest two features I would like in v.04?
- separate Comments and Trackbacks. Or customize the way Trackbacks look in a different way because right now it brakes the design;
- highlight author’s Comments;
Thanks for you time.
Hi stephan..
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ll try to get those features in v0.4.. Should be coming in the next few hours!
Thanks for that theme!
Nice I’m thinking of such template for my blog, but don’t you think that the admin template is some what stupid or not original
great theme
i want to place a small logo in the gray bar at the upper left hand corner, where to do this?
thanks man, the 1st thing i thought of when i saw the new wp admin console is how nice a theme it would be.
i’d like to post my twitter status and a mini logo using
in the same spot where the ‘dashboard’ link is in the wordpress admin theme. what part of header template should be edited?
update looks great, running it now.
just saw that you cannot paste php code.. makes sense
the php i’d like to place there is get_twitterRSS
the tag cloud is not updating
correction, tags are fine.
@ Rainer
Thank you!
@ Omar
I’m not 100% sure what your trying to say but you could say the theme is unoriginal as I’ve taken much of the original Wordpress Admin design. I myself love the admin theme and I thought it would be nice to convert it to a WP theme
@ Anthony
Sorry for the ill comment responces but I think we’ve been sorting this error by email. Great to see it’s working fine
Great theme Jamie, really great. Just 2 things. Is it possible to use Wavatars with Your theme instead of default gravatar avatar? Lately I found it quite entertaining for ppl who did not register ![]()
And second what about Word Press’d in few other colours? Propably it is quite simple to change the colour scheme but I’m such a noob in this all web codes
Cheers, Bartek
Hi bartek.. glad you like the theme and thanks for using it and coming to give feedback on the site (its people like you that help this project move along :))
As for the colour schemes I shall work on that over the next week to get you some nice alternatives ![]()
I have searched a long time for a theme like this.
Really like it and perfect for my PressWeb blog.
Small future request: Maybe you can build in a 404 and an archivepage. I made one myself and in combination with WP-Cumulus it’s actually fun to use the archives ![]()
Thanks for this great theme!
Great to see the theme meets what you’ve been after!
As for the 404.php I’ll look into that as soon as I get some free time, the use of the “redirection” plug-in may be very handy for catching all your 404’s and redirecting them to the correct page.
As for the archive page this might help
Thanks, I’ll look into your suggestions.
Get back to me on how you find it..
Nice one guys, i was hoping to see a theme based on the new wordpress 2.5 admin panel looks really nice but can do with some more eyecandy
know what i mean ![]()
Really lovely theme
Will be adding this to my list while I’m browsing themes to try out ![]()
Hi Jamie, I have had major troubles with my hosting company. (>1wk down) So i moved everything to a new host. It consumed a lot of time. Now my (WordPress’d) site is up and running again. About the 404 page: I’ve made a 404 page in the theme section and a rule in the htaccess file towards the same 404 page. I think it will catch everything now. The archives page is also ready. I could use some info from the codex site, (although the codex-page seems to be a bit outdated). Anyway thanks for the useful info.
While my site was moving, I have translated WordPress’d into Dutch. I can send you the translated theme if you want. It’s also available at PressWeb.
Yet a small, minor remark ![]()
In footer.php there’s missing a close p-tag after Powered by WordPress and a close div is at the wrong place. (should be after php wp_footer) Than will WordPress’d validate again.
Gr. Arnold
@ Eshan
I do usually go for eyecandy while designing a theme but for Word Press’d I went for simplicity. I theme is simple and because of this has very quick loading times. Look out for more theme from b2l we have a few lined up of which one may be the current b2l design!
@ Chelle
Thanks for the comment
@ Arnold
I may be in contact about what you have done exactly and to get the code from your theme but it may not be for a few weeks beccause I’m up to the eyeballs in work.. lol
As for the error thanks for pointing that out!
Go for it with the dutch version ![]()
Hi Jamie, if have translated Word Press’d into Dutch. Those looking to download this version please visit the download page here: http://arnold.gethost.nl/2008/07/nederlands-thema-wordpressd-04/
Regards Arnold

Tank you shard
Hello, i would like to add an image into my header blog: http://todonetbook.es
Could you tell me How can i do that?
I tried to do this with no result:
To add the image to your site you need to go to design > Theme Editor > header.php .. and look for these 2 lines of code
<a href=”/” rel=”nofollow”>
and replace them with
<a href=”/” rel=”nofollow”>
Thanks a lot!
From what you have posted I seems as if you are replacing something with the same thing.
Check this comment for a walk through on how to add an image in place of the text.
Hope this helps.. get back to me
Sorry Jamie, I don’t know why the text was garbled, i would like to post the same comment that you give me now. It doesn’t run for me
I have this in my header.php:
<a href=”/”>
hi luis, I shall email you will all the code later on tonight as soon as I get home. Copying code from wordpress comments seems to cause the code to display as the ASCII values and not <>
Thanks a lot Jamie! This theme is awesome and i would like to use it with an image into the header, i hope your email :))
Thanks,
Regards Luis
