The second version of The Grid template has been updated to version 2.1, fixing a minor error in the sample content. A package of sample layouts built from the template will be released separately at the end of this week, showing the flexibility that the grid system provides for creating both simple and complex layouts.

Since more than 80 days have passed since I submitted this theme to the official WordPress theme directory queue, and since the theme is marked as being under review since a number of weeks, I decided to make my next theme available on this site and keep it here until it shows up in the official theme directory. This means that you can now download the first version of the Arctica theme and try it out.
Arctica is a basic 2-column blog theme, built upon a HTML5 code base (derived from Toolbox) and enhanced by CSS3 and a custom webfont. It is classical, by some measures to a level getting close to being oldschool. But the feedback has been very positive so far, and it is a theme which I could very well end up using myself if I would launch a personal blog some time in the future.
Give it a try, and let me know what you think about it. Feature suggestions, bug reports and general feedback are always welcome. As always, you can preview the theme on my theme demo site.
To download the Arctica theme directly, use this link: Arctica theme for WordPress (.zip, 179 Kb).

After months of beta testing and three release candidates, WordPress version 3.3 has now been released. It has been given the name "Sonny" in honor of jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt, and as always it features a number of new additions and features. It can be installed through the administration area of existing self-hosted WordPress websites, or downloaded from WordPress.org. The WordPress themes from andreasviklund.com have all been tested with the release candidates and should work just fine. If, however, you run into any problem, please let me know and I'll make sure to fix it quickly.

Guy Rutenberg found a couple of details in the Variant Whitespace template which could be improved, and decided to create and release a modified version of it. Guy changed the code order and edited the way that the sidebar is positioned, and the result sure is an improvement. Check it out!

It was made available three days ago, and it has already been downloaded more than 900 times. If you are looking for a classic 2-column blog layout, give it a try and post your feedback here.
