This has been a long time in the making but finally it's here, a content first CSS only three column design based on ceejay's Pixabella05.

This first version of the template only includes the regular content-sidebar-sidebar layout, and doesn't yet include the extra blue colorset. Both of these features are still being developed for the Serendipity version which I hope to have completed in the next few weeks so be sure to bookmark this page or subscribe to my feed for updates.

So, why am I releasing an incomplete template, well, it isn't incomplete, it will work well for anyone looking for the included layout and colorset but I'm frantically busy developing designs for Blogger and Ning in addition to some client work and the Hawaii template is just sitting there taunting me so it's better to release it and let people start using it than have it languish on my harddrive. Get the zipfile and let me know what you think of this design, and please report any errors you find.

I'm really happy to release my latest theme, an affiliate template for Serendipity. Bloggers who are looking for a simple to use template with built-in support for affiliate banners will really love this template.

The template features a sidebar that can be swapped from left to right, or deleted, all within the admin screen, no need to edit any HTML. Also, at the bottom of the template are three plugin columns, ideal for blog rush, mybloglog, recent comments, recent entries, shoutboxes etc. Read More

After a few weeks of development, its finally ready to be tested by the world at large. Hemingway is bleeding edge at the moment, and will only work as it is intended to on Serendipity v1.1 beta4 (or one of the latest nightly snapshots) so be warned!

It's possible that many small issues need to be dealt with well, actually a few less thanks to loyal Serendipity users, and this template won't be fully complete until the Serendipity developers have finished developing their multi-column sidebar plugin selector. So expect minor updates to Hemingway over the next few weeks whilst this is all wrapped up. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Matthias, Costa and Ivan for the German, Polish, and Bulgarian language translations. I would dearly love to ship the final version of Hemingway with other Serendipity supported languages, so please read my original request if you're interested in being credited with this.

EDIT: Thanks to a request from Sebastian, I've incorporated an extra sidebar, which will only ever appear in the detail page and allows the entry's links plugin or any plugin for that matter to be displayed on the entry detail page under footer info in the left-hand column. Hope you like it Sebastian. Also thanks to Yellowled and Costa, I've changed the way the authors plugin and entry links plugins are displayed. The list links will take more effort, it seems the location of the css may be hardcoded into the plugin, but I'll report back once I've done some more work on it.

Before the Soccer World Cup in Germany I produced a soccer theme featuring the flags of every competing nation. It is now time to release the update to that template allowing it to be used for any soccer enthusiast or club.

The flags have been removed and a navbar put in their place. The navbar links will need to be edited, users of Serendipity 1.0 need to edit index.tpl while users of Serendipity 1.1 simply need to make their changes when they install the template through the 'Manage Styles' secion of the admin suite.

Anyway, feel free to download and use this template. It's been released under a GPL license.
