Navigation WP Theme
After a long blogging break I decided to start blogging again and what better motivation than a brand new theme for my blog. I call this theme Navigation and I have decided to release it for free. The reason behind the naming of the theme is quite obvious, since this is a site about GPS systems news etc I thought the name navigation fits the theme. However the version I am currently using is quite a bit different than the one I am releasing.
Here is a screenshot
As you see it is a three column theme with the main content in the center. The two sidebars have a fixed width while the width of the centre adjust to the monitor resolution. Both sidebars are widget ready. The color scheme used is the color scheme of the wordpress admin panel.
You can see a preview of the theme in action here.
And of course download it from the WP Theme Viewer.
If there is an interest in this theme I will probably release variations of the theme like fixed width or both sidebars on the left or on the right.
I already have released the first variation, the main difference is that it is fixed width and that it has bot sidebars at the left side. Below is a screenshot.
Please keep all questions, bug reports etc about all the themes to this page.

January 5th, 2007 at 8:20 pm[…] Based on the colour schemes of the Wordpress admin panel, Navigation Wordpress Theme is a simple, elegant, three column theme. The main content goes in the fluid width middle column, with two widget supporting sidebars at either side of it for all extra information. The theme, while simple, is still quite professional looking and would be suited to a variety of different blogs. […]
January 11th, 2007 at 12:32 pmThat is a ve3ry beautiful and simple theme. I will add it to my blog as soon as I can (it depends if I can do it from work or not)
Thanks a lot!

January 13th, 2007 at 3:00 pmGreat work on the theme. I’m in the midst of setting it up to replace a movabletype blog that I hate. I was wondering if you’ve got a simple fix for adding a row of links?
Thanks,

Hi Wendell, sorry for the late reply. Can you show me an example of what exactly do you mean?

January 19th, 2007 at 9:25 amHow can I add a tagline to this theme.
I changed the colors to compliment my main website. I know just enough code to be dangerous.

January 25th, 2007 at 10:54 amHi Paul, I see that you have added the tagline. Do you want help about formatting it?
January 25th, 2007 at 1:32 pmA couple of suggestions for tweaks in your .css file:
1) The last paragraph in any entry slides further left than anything else whenever there is some element directly beneath it (i.e. no paragraph marker - example here with the ‘Share This’ button). I usually have to insert a couple of empty lines into the bottom of most entries to correct for this, and that doesn’t even always fix it.
2) Paragraphs after lists in entries get smashed right up against the list, instead of leaving a blank line between. The only way to correct for this I’ve found has been to manually insert a line break after a list. (Example can be found in the same link given above.)
I think those are the two biggest ones I’ve found so far.
January 26th, 2007 at 1:03 pmHi Jim,
To fix the second problem in the css file find this code
p{
margin-bottom: 12px;
}
and replace it with
p
{
margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}
I will update the theme as well at themes.wordpress.net
The first problem is a bit of a mystery to me since I cannot recreate it in my test blog. Was there the same problem before you upgraded to 2.1?
Nonetheless, I will look into further to see what might be causing it.
Edit to add:
Can you please also tell me what version of the share it plugin are you using?
Thanks for the bug reports
January 27th, 2007 at 10:05 amThanks for the fix.
I’m using Share This 1.4 and Footnotes 0.9.1. Using either of those features cause that leftward shift, for some reason.
January 27th, 2007 at 12:09 pmIt is driving me crazy, I have installed both the plugins and tried posting with every possible way (visual editor, no visual editor, leaving an empty line at the end not leaving one etc) at my test site here and I cannot reproduce it. Do you by any chance use a blog posting manager like performancing, ecto etc?
January 27th, 2007 at 1:35 pmI’ll be darned - it’s an issue with the Text Control plugin. I just went through and started deactivating any plugin that might affect it, and that’s the one that’s doing it. Odd thing is that it didn’t start doing it until I switched to this theme, which is what caused me to think it was the theme itself causing the problem.
January 27th, 2007 at 4:30 pmI downloaded the WP theme and used it for my recently corrupted blog - had to do the entire installation & lost all data due to me being too smart. *Haha*
Anyway, love your theme so much - it suits my requirements just so well. Everything I need in my blog.
Thanks for the theme!
January 28th, 2007 at 9:22 amNice theme.
I think you forgot to add the navigation, alignleft and alignright css classes into your style.css. Adding these will make the next and previous links present better.
.alignright {
float: right;
}
.alignleft {
float: left
}
.navigation {
February 3rd, 2007 at 11:11 amdisplay: block;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 60px;
}
Thaks Leion, I will update the theme soon
