Handgloves

Handgloves is a clean, feature rich WordPress theme set in Helvetica.

It is a blogging theme for people who love social media. The sidebar makes a prominent feature of Flickr, Twitter & your latest posts. It has a range of bespoke WP functions such as splitting the archives by year into separate ULs and dynamic features are powered by jQuery 1.2.3

Handgloves was built as an opportunity to learn more about the WP platform and is my first fully featured theme release. I’m more than happy for you to take it, change it, make it your own. As such I have released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 License. This means?

Installation & Requirements

Handgloves has only been tested on WP 2.7 and upwards though I would imagine it will work fine on previous versions. The download package comes bundled with the key plugins that it is built to work with (though if you want to get in there and change them – feel free).

The menu is now powered by a back-end options panel! I recognised that this was a big problem in version 1.0 and now thanks to Jeremy Boyd it’s fully integrated.

Flickr support is provided by the excellent Flickr-RSS plugin

Twitter support is provided by a modified version of the Simple-Twitter plugin (supplied)
