			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The WordPress theme Layers version 1.1.0 is out</h3>
<div id="attachment_120" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-120" title="A glimpse of 'Layers'" src="http://jaipandya.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/layers.jpeg" alt="Layers theme screenshots" width="500" height="366" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Layers theme screenshots</p></div>
<p>The brand new version of &#8216;Layers&#8217; gets you an admin panel to quickly change its settings with a few clicks. You can also use alternate style sheet now. This version gives you the gift of the elegent bright skin along with the legacy dark shine. Again, a few clicks are enough to change this look.<!-- Layers:Update date="2008-08-19" version="1.1.0" --></p>
<p>You also don&#8217;t need to put any extra effort to check this site manually for updates. This is gracefully integrated into the admin panel of the theme, which checks for a new release once every seven days.</p>
<p>You can download the brand new version <a title="navigate to the download page" href="http://jaipandya.com/themes" target="_self">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here we do have a really nice <a title="navigate to wordpress theme blog page" href="http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/theme-directory/">update</a> from wordpress.org, that is <a title="navigate to the wordpress themes directory" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/">wordpress themes directory</a>. ( Which is for self hosted blogs ) It was a long awaited release as right now themes.wordpress.net is not functional. (Not accepting new themes for a very long time now). So the only way to release your theme was to publish it on your own site, or other web directories which never gave it a central spot.<span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p>Whenever I went to wordpress.org, I was always wondering why there is no <strong>theme </strong>tab under the <strong>extend wordpress </strong>titled page. Now, this requirement has been fulfilled by the good wordpress guys. The user doesn&#8217;t have to go under the subversion details too, just one has to register for a new account on wordpress.org (great if you are already having that) and upload it with a few requirements.</p>
<p>The requirements are:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>A single zip file, with all of the files themes file included.</li>
<li>There must be a style.css file containing:
<ol type="a">
<li>Name (which must be unique to the directory)</li>
<li>Tags</li>
<li>Version (in the format of x.x or x.x.x and must be unique to the theme)</li>
<li>Align classes: .alignright, .alignleft, .aligncenter (see  <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS">http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS</a> for more details)</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>The screenshot file name must be <code>screenshot.png</code>, and be a  real screenshot of the theme, not a splash screen.</li>
<li>Licensing must be <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses">GPL compatible</a>.</li>
<li>No hidden, paid or sponsored links in the theme.  Links back to the author&#8217;s site are fine.</li>
<li>The theme must be your own original work.</li>
<li>Adult/mature themes are not allowed.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>That looks fine, ( Well I initially released my first theme under the same <a title="navigate to the chopad license page" href="http://jaipandya.com/license/">license</a> which this site is ).</p>
<p>So now we have a central repository of well reviewed themes on this directory. Cheers for that!</p>
