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

Renato, You can download the latest version with the Theme Toolkit which will give you a wider layout. You can overwrite the old copy of Blackletterhead with the latest. It’s located in wp-content/themes/.

Hello..
thank you for the -black letterhead- theme. It’s pretty cool. I really love it..!
But i feel there is something different between this theme with another WP theme.
When i opened a post page, then the sidebar dissapears.
Sometime, this make my visitors confused, because some of them don’t understand how to back to the front page [home page]. So, they just leave my blog…
suggest, Its best if you keep the sidebar on the post page…
what do you think?

I use Black-Letterhead direct on wordpress. I loved to use it. But I’ve a question about:
1. “How to set my adsense on wordpress with Black-Letterhead themes?”
2. “How to showing up only article’s per page to show?”
Please, I need advice about these…

Esaul, Unfortunately you can’t since your blog is hosted at wordpress.com. If you have another blog hosted somewhere you can add adsense by using the Adsense Plugin. There are at least a couple out there.

hello and thank you for such a great looking theme. is there a way to reduce the gap between post previews on like the index page. if you vlisit my site at http://jericosystems.info you will see what i mean about the large space between the post info. if i could shrink that just a little i could get about 15 more post on the page and still have everything in line at the bottom.

Eric, Since you are using Black-Letterhead with the Theme Toolkit. There are some embedded CSS values that override style.css. Go to function.php and make the CSS changes there. Look for the .pagepost and .post margins.

I love your theme, I have been using it on my wordpress blog since I found it. I recently purchased a domain name and am trying to use your theme with my pic (see eramblings.wordpress.com) on my new blog/domain (eramblings.net). I am totally struggling with getting the photo to show up. And the background color is grey, not black. Would love some help.

Need your help. When I downloaded the wordpress WXR files it somehow messed up my custom image header. Now it is showing the screenshot. Any ideas? I have reloaded those files over and over again. I am getting nowhere. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Heidi. What’s up? I saw your new site. Everything seems to be working ok. The header image seems to working ok. By the way, what is WXR? I’m not familiar with it. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi, I recently emailed you about the sidebar disappearing thing and I tried to fix it as you suggest, but using wordpress.com, I cannot open the single.php. Is there any way to switch the sidebar to show up on single posts using the wordpress style sheet? Sorry to hassle you with this question again! Thank you.

I didn’t know your blog is located at wordpress.com. Unfortunately, wordpress.com will not allow you to edit single.php, so you are out of luck. If your blog was hosted somewhere, the change would have been an easy one.

Thanks for the clarification. Oh well!

Are there any incompatibilities with Wordpress version 2.5?
If there are, will you fix them and release v1.5 of this great theme ?
Kind regards,
Ramon

Hi Ulysses
I run a standard wordpress blog using the version of Black Letterhead that comes with (therefore, no customization at all). There seems to be a minor problem with the timestamp of the comments: an “a” invariably appears instead of “am” or “pm”. You can see it, for example, in the comments here:
http://humptyblog.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/copertina-di-blow-up/
Is there any way to fix this?

I really LOVE your theme. Just a small request: in your next version can you please include the ability/option to multiple sidebars. I’ve noticed there is a mod version of this called: 3c-Black-LetterHead by Hakan Aydin, but my understanding is this theme is your baby
, and that’s why I’m tossing out this request to you.
Also, how can I mod the grey background? I’d like to drop it a few shades darker. Were would I go to config that?
And all that said - a sincere THANK YOU! This is one of the best themes I’ve found out there for Wordpress. It’s organized, sharp, stylish, and professional. I appreciate and applaud your creativity and time dedicated to this theme, as well as you releasing it for public use.
Sincerely,

Hello. Sorry for not responding fast enough. I’ve been out of blogging the last couple of months.
Ramon, the latest version works with 2.5 as is. No mods needed. I will include Gravatar support in the next release.
Renato, the “a” you are saying actually means “at” in English. See the date format above of this comment. Whoever did the translation in the WordPress language files made a literal translation of the date format from English to Italian.
Romantic Torment, just open style.css. change the background-color set at #333 to #222 or #111.
Thanks all.
April 21st, 2008 at 8:59 am
Sorry Ulysses, my mistake. That “a” is ok: what is wrong is the “e” that appears in the comments after the timestamp. I cannot guess why. Thanks anyway, R.
April 21st, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Correct me if I am wrong
The ‘e’ is for Edit. With the right permissions, someone can edit that comment.

Whoops. You are right, Ramon. It was as simple as that. Thanks for the explanation.

About the ‘next release’ of Blackletterhead… are you working on it ?
And if so, when can we expect it ?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Maybe also a good idea to update the copyright in the footer.
It still says 2006…
‘Copyright © 2003-2006′
