Well, it’s been a while since I’ve visited this space as a writer, as I’ve been involved with other aspects of EI, primarily web copywriting and some SEO projects. As part of my ongoing love affair with WordPress, however, I’ve decided to begin releasing free WordPress themes for general use.

The first release is a free (licensed under GPL) WordPress theme called “Going Coastal.” This isn’t a real fancy theme, but it’s an effective start for anyone considering starting a blog or switching to WordPress. Going Coastal is a two-column, fixed-width template that uses XHTML/CSS (as all WordPress themes do) and also features some slight <title> editing to avoid the annoying arrows and “Blog Archive” text that appears in the standard <title> for a WordPress single post.

Also included is a photograph shot by my Dad that is the inspiration for the theme’s name. Feel free to use the template for personal or commercial use, but please remember to leave the attribute links in the footer.

You can download the new theme here: Download Going Coastal.
