Simple Black – A Halloween WordPress Theme
Here’s another newly minted Halloween theme for WordPress. This one is straightforward with a main body color of black with gray for the sidebar. It’s simple and easy to read but gives that slightly foreboding sense to it. It also features another one of my pumpkin pictures for the header, this time a close-up of the skin as it’s burning away in the night. I think it gives it a nice eerie glow.
This theme is compatible with WordPress 3.x
Crumpled Brown – A Halloween WordPress theme
Here is another from the Rottenworks collection, a brown theme, tinged with orange for the sidebar and a cracked and peeled header. The header is actually a picture from inside one of my charred pumpkins which I think gives this theme a nice look.
Again, this is a two column theme that is compatible with WordPress 3.x. It has a slightly dark and offbeat look which should work very nicely for Halloween. Give it a try and tell me what you think.
Blood Red – A Halloween WordPress Theme
It’s that time of year again, so it’s time to make some new WordPress themes for this Halloween. Here is another batch of themes to help decorate your blog. Here we have a theme in dark, rich red, trimmed with black. You should be able to do a lot of fun things with this one.
It’s a two panel theme that is WordPress 3.x compatible.
Boston Can’t Handle the Flaming Pumpkin!
It would seem some residents in Boston are fearful of the power and might that comes with lighting pumpkins. Or perhaps they don’t use some good old fashioned common sense and thus have a tendency to set themselves on fire at the most inopportune time.
But let us not forget that even though Boston makes a damn fine chowder, they do have a tendency to overreact.
But fear not, just because they have been told they can’t do it doesn’t mean I’m going to listen. I have plenty more pumpkins waiting in the wings. If the weather holds one of those baby will meet it’s maker tonight!!
With Halloween less than two weeks away, you may be in the design stage of your planning for a jack-o-lantern, but weekend suggestions from the Boston Globe had the State Fire Marshal’s Office on phone with editors at the paper.
The pumpkin design in question called for decorators to create a pumpkin with a three-foot flame.
