Andreas04 is widgetized! I’ve had quite a few requests for an updated version of the theme, so without further ado (hopefully), here it is!

download Andreas04

To install:

  1. Download and extract the .zip file of the theme.
  2. Copy the “widgets” folder into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. Copy the “Andreas04″ folder into your wp-content/themes/ directory.
  4. In your blog’s admin,

    ›› Go to Plugins and activate the “Sidebar Widgets” plugin.
    ›› Go to Presentation and select Andreas04 as your current theme.

  5. A “Sidebar Widgets” tab should appear beside the Theme Editor Tab. Click on it.

This theme was built to have 2 sidebars, both on the right. I’ve modified the theme to support the use of widgets… Here’s how to organize your sidebars on the Sidebar Widgets screen:

Create 3 sidebars:

  1. Sidebar #1 contains any widgets you’d like displayed across the full width of both sidebars (good for text widgets and the Random Photos widget).
  2. Sidebar #2 contains all widgets that will display in the right sidebar.
  3. Sidebar #3 contains all widgets that will display in the left sidebar.

A word about the Random Photos widget:

    This widget pulls photos from the wp-content/themes/Andreas04/randomimages folder. Copy any images (jpg, gif, png formats only) you wish to display into that folder.

Update: 07/08/07

Added comment styling so you can quickly see the difference between comments, replaced comments.php, added 2 images (evengrad.png and oddgrad.png).

Update: 07/03/06

Dates/times now display in IE6 - don’t judge me for a crappy hack. It’s not my fault IE doesn’t like to play by the rules. =) Page links also display now - sorry I missed that one, folks.
Updated files: style.css, page.php, index.php, single.php

Update: 06/27/06

I’ve fixed a few minor bugs. I’ve added the ability to use only excerpts on the main index page, and I’ve added support (and links!) for multi-page single posts. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you’d like to have something added…
