Via Weblog Tools Collection, a new theme released under the GPL¹. Here’s a screenshot:

Download available here. The ZadaNews theme can be seen in operation at ZadaNews.com.

I installed it in a sandbox (quick: can we use “sandbox” as a verb, as in “we sandboxed it within an inch of its life”?) and found looked impressive immediately, and the backend² (i.e. the admin panels and controls made sense). made sense and worked worked fine.

Download available here. The author(s) of the theme, and the proprietors of the ZadaNews site, don’t say much about themselves.

The General
Public License, is, according to Wikipedia, “an example of a powerful copyleft license that requires derived works to be available under the same copyleft. Under this philosophy, the GPL grants the recipients of a computer program the rights of the free software definition and uses copyleft to ensure the freedoms are preserved, even when the work is changed or added to. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD licenses are the standard examples.” The GPL is the creation of the Free Software Foundation
If I’d had either enough coffee or enough sleep I’d have writen better, more precise. In point of fact the WP “backend” is probably better used to describe the SQL tables and other software upon which WordPress depends.

Tidy Start Menu

I’ve been using Tidy Start Menu for a couple of years – and as the Windows XP program list started to get long again, I went back to it to try to get rid of some clutter. In combination with the judicious use of the excellent Revo Uninstaller, and it becomes a lot easier to find things. It’s simple conceptually – you can assign program file entries into any of nine categories (Office, Games, Utilities, Entertainment, Internet, Programming, Graphics, Security, and Other), thus reducing clutter. That’s the freeware version – in the reasonably priced $20 paid version, you can create categories.
