Black-Letterhead 1.4
I just released Black-Letterhead 1.4. There are no major changes in the theme. I just cleaned up the code a little bit and added the much needed Tags, a feature since WordPress 2.3 was released. I’m making two versions available for download, one with the Theme Toolkit and the other without it.
What’s the difference?
The Theme Toolkit allows you to customize the Black-Letterhead Theme with ease. You can change theme colors, use two different widths either default or wide, switch sidebars from right to left, and add header images, or rotate multiple header images.
If you like to hack and modify the Black-Letterhead Theme, I suggest you download the default Black-Letterhead. The Theme Toolkit adds a level of complexity when customizing the theme.
As always, the theme can be downloaded from the Download Page.
Cheers

Also is there a way to remove tags?

I’m still alive. I’m currently working to update Black-Letterhead to version 1.5. I will release sometime next week. The new version will include inherent support of Gravatars – without the need for a plugin. I’ll also update the copyright section per Ramon’s request.
Regretful morning,
I might work on a 3 column version in the near future. Yes, you can remove the tags. They are located in post.php and single.php. Just remove this code:
< ?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?>
Nice, I am looking forward to it.
Something different now! In the footer you see the time it takes to load the page.
Yours load in <0.8 sec most of the time. Do you use some cache plugin to realize this?
I also see you are hosted by Dreamhost.com. You use Shared hosting (share a server with many other sites) or private (own server) hosting?
Hi,
I am experimenting a little with photo galleries.
Some of them work nice, but the default theme is rubbish.
I have been playing a little with myPh3 gallery and made it match Black Letterhead so I have a gallery and blog with the same looks.

But then I started playing with Coppermine, another well-know image gallery.
Is there a theme that looks like (or is) Black Letterhead?
I dont know much about HTML, PHP and CSS code, so it is a little too difficult for me to edit myself.
Perhaps someone has already done this, or wants to help me?
I would appreciate it a lot!
Ramon, the gallery looks really good. I played around with Gallery a few years back, but I haven’t touched Coppermine. I tried to design Gallery once using the Black-Letterhead theme, but I later decided that I really needed a template with a wider width. If you Firefox browser, consider downloading the Web Developer extension. It will allow you to play around with CSS on the fly.
nice.
I haven’t tested Gallery yet, planning to do that this weekend or zo.
Thanks for the advice, I will install the plugin and see if it is easier.
I played a little with Gallery, but I didnt really like it…
And instead of building a standalone gallery, I just installed a WP plugin called ‘NextGEN Gallery’. I prefer this one
So, how is 1.5 doing ^_^ ?
I’m currently using version 1.5. I’ll let it run for a couple of days before I release it. The gravatars seems to be working ok. I noticed Ramon does not have a gravatar. Time to sign up.
Sure I would sign up, but I get this message: “User registration is currently not allowed.”
Besides the Gravatar support, have you added, removed or changed anything else ?
In about 16 days from now I will be visiting Japan for one month.
Last few weeks I have been playing with Wordpress, this theme, image gallery’s and some other stuff in a test environment . A few days ago I registered a new domain and created a new Wordpress blog. At the moment I am running 1.4 of Black-Letterhead. I will use it to post pictures and how I am doing and what I’ll be doing there…
Ramon,
Maybe the Gravatar website was down when you tried to sign up. For version 1.5, I updated only three files: comment.php to add the gravatar code, style.css to format the placement of the gravatar image, and I updated the footer. That’s it. Very minimal change.
Good luck on your trip to Japan. I never been there. Well, just at the airport while in transit. That doesn’t really count. Take lots of pictures and keep us posted.
Ulysses
Thanks
It is also my first time in Japan, so I am excited.
Although I am Dutch, I will post in English because of some international friends I have. At the moment there isn’t much to see at my blog.

Hi!
I’ve made a German translation of this version. It can be found here.
