New Rin and Manji Flavours coming soon
Just thought I’d give all the crazy cats out there looking for some different Rin and Manji flavours a nice treat. It might seem as though I’ve neglected my little themes, but I have not forsaken them. I’ve had a couple of flavours (different coats of paint) sitting on my harddrive waiting for me to clean them up and release them. I’ll try and sort them out in the coming month and put them out for everyone to play around with them.
The thing is I’ve actually got the ULTIMATE theme in my head. I know EXACTLY what I want to do with it. I’ve got the name and everything, I’ve even got a couple of mockups scribbled in one of my moleskins.
The only problem is that I need a TEAM to create this bastard theme. If I get it done the way it’s in my head I can pretty much guarantee it will become the WordPress default theme. Bold statement maybe, but I’m telling you I’ve got a plan.
So if you’re up for a long burner project, probably 6 months or something (I’m in no rush whatsoever). I need someone that understands WordPress architecture and someone that is a complete whizzkid with Javascript. The could be the same person or completely different people.
I would ask one of my buddies but I really don’t want to overload anyone. We’ve got loads of things to deal with as it is anyway. Just to be clear I intend to stay well clear of the coding as I’ll make a right mess of it. Someone that knows what they’re doing or at least thinks they know what they’re doing would be good. If you’re interested, just drop me a line.
I’m no javascript whizzkid, but I have noticed that some of the recently released advanced WordPress themes are using javascript libraries from moo.fx and script.aculo.us. You may want to investigate those as possible sources for your new theme’s javascript-based super powers.
P.S. I can’t wait to see the new Rin flavours!

I’m not a Javascript whizzkid, but I definitely know my way around it. As for Wordpress, I know it pretty well, and have hacked things into submission on a number of occasions to suit my needs. My latest is my portfolio which is linked to my name here. Also, XHTML and CSS are definitely my forte. Give me a shout if you’re interested…

No genuis, but one hell of of grunt. I’m up for taking on the menial tasks (and have free time until September).

Is there any way to get the Category totals to appear next to the categories in the sidebar (similar to the BeachHouse theme from my website)? I tried changing the sidebar.php file by replacing:
with:
but that put the totals on a second row. Any idea how to get the totals on the same row?
Thanks!
