This is my first ever WordPress Theme so i hope you like it

The idea for Stck’d was to create a theme with some smooth visual elements while maintaining an easy to the eyes structure and focusing on the contents, instead of graphics.

It is on my plans to release this theme for free as soon as i finish fixing bugs, etc, so if you like it or you have any comment / suggestion, feel free to leave a comment in here, any feedback is appreciated.

April 7, some updates:

Per-post color selection:

It is now possible to select the post-it color on a per post basis, just add a custom field called “color” to your post, and it will automagically change the paper color for said item. Available colors are:

• Cyan.

• Yellow.
• Magenta.

Stck’d is now compatible with the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 6.

At first, i started by using phpbb3, which is great, but even the fact that there are some WordPress integration solutions, etc, i had to hack a lot the integration code, and it wasn’t really working as tight as i wanted to… and then…. i found bbPress!.

bbPress is a fairly young forum software developed by the same guys in charge of the WordPress codebase, it is not only a pleasure to work with it, but it is also a pleasure to modify it to fit your needs. It uses a templating engine almost 100% identical to the one on WordPress, it integrates seamlessly with WordPress, and, on top of that, it is fast as hell, what more could you ask for ?

If you are curious enough, you can take a look at how things are looking so far, keep in mind that this is still work in progress

If you have any questions or suggestions, you can leave a comment on this post.

In any case, there were some minor problems about this really wonderful theme:

1. It was not Valid XHTML
2. It was not Valid CSS
3. There were some minor discrepancies around different browsers (specially in the search box)

So i just fixed the whole HTML and CSS code to be 100% valid, and i also corrected the minor CSS related problems in regards to the search box.
I also did some other minor modifications regarding the line and letter spacing on the fonts to make it “easier to the eyes”.

Please note that this theme includes MY OWN ADSENSE code on it. In order to remove or replace the adsense block with your own, you MUST edit the files single.php and sidebar.php and replace the adsense block with your own. I added adsense directly inside the template to avoid the use of an extra plugin.

Also, in order to create the “info” box (like this one) or the “quote” box, you need to use a span with “info” or “quote” as the class name:
<span class=\"info\">the text for the info box goes here</span>
