Aeros, Aerodrome and Aer 2.0 - A new generation

Joe — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:59:12 +0000

One of the things I’d like to do until end of this year is making Aeros and the other themes of TheBuckmaker cross-browser-ready and get them valid also in CSS. That’s something many of you wanted to see and caused a lot of questions - even a Firefox bug was found due to the “rounded [...]

The new version of Aerodrome is live. This beautiful advertisement-ready theme has become very popular. It allows you to easily insert Google Adsense, Affiliate codes or ad banners.

TheBuckmaker is now 100% free - thanks for donations!

I have decided to completely remove all ads for premium themes, theme clubs, paid theme support, webhosting services or web statistic tools. I want to provide themes and support for free and don’t want to encourage you to buy any themes, services or support from third parties. I did earn some money from that and these [...]

I’ve added a Christmas Background image to the Aeros Theme, V 1.0.7. It now also features beautiful pagechild navigation on top, a function that many of you asked for - of course this is only visible when a parent page is active: I hope you like it and wish you all a silent unstressy pre-christmas-time.

Is it OK to remove backlinks to a free theme author and then ask the same author for free theme customization?

Joe — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:02:40 +0000

I’ve just got a comment from someone who uses Aeros. He asked for help because he was having some issues with specific plugins on his website. I went to his page and saw that he removed everything that pointed to me, the author of this theme. Especially, he erased everything in the footer. Themes like [...]

Is your Wordpress Theme ready for 2.7?

Wordpress 2.7 will fundamentally change the way you blog. It’s not only the backend with a left sidebar and many new extra functions, it also concerns the way you interact with your readers. Discussions are much easier due to the new comment function ‘threaded/nested comments’. You can now respond directly to a users comment and [...]

I’ve also cleaned up the whole theme and edited many details like headings, overall font size, table styles and much more. In a word: V 1.0.5 gets Aeros five steps [...]
