Updated: Latest version 2.0 with full widgets support is now available.
A WordPress port of Bartelme’s Fresh theme as I promised yesterday, is now here. Actually I had been requested by several of my friends to port it long ago. Since Bartelme now allows everyone to use this old design, I filled my buddies’ requests and would like to make the port public.
This port validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.0, it is ready for plugins Gravatar and Brian’s Latest Comments. Tested under Firefox / IE / Safari.

Demo is temporarily unavailable, sorry. Download Greenery v2.0 here.
The 5-year-old BlogBus is the earliest and most reputed blog service provider in China. Their 5th anniversary ceremony will be staged this weekend in Wuzhen, an ancient water town south of the Yangtze River. Congrats to them! It’s my great honor to be invited to the event but my schedule wouldn’t let me fly to Shanghai for a weekend. Definitely my regret of the year.
Last week, a very famous technical expert Chedong, who served Yahoo China as a senior product manager, announced his job-hopping to BlogBus. I would say that the 4 chief officers of BlogBus now forms an all-star team. I’m looking forward to seeing new actions from them in year 2008.
Back to the topic, I was also asked by their COO Mr. Wei Wuhui, a man of wisdom, to make a WordPress theme as a birthday present for his company. Hence this 3-column, right sidebar, neat and elegant theme.
Theme requires WordPress 2.3 or above, tested in Firefox / IE6 / IE7 / Safari. Oh, and it’s widgets-friendly.

I will be evilly happy if you admit that you were fooled, but I’ll be even happier if you say you’ve been waiting all along for the real deal. Tags are no longer going to be a part of WordPress 2.2, so I changed my mind and the theme is now available for download. Thank you for your patience. Now I give you Wolfgang Bartelme’s “dark” theme.
The theme has been tested on WordPress 2.1.3 with Firefox and Safari, may play well with IE6/7 too. It validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.0, and supports the following plugins:
- flickrRSS
- Gravatar
- Ultimate Tag Warrior
- WP-PageNavi
