Two new templates: Inland Earth and Inland Wood

Two new free website templates have been released: Inland Earth and Inland Wood. Both are based on the popular Inland CSS template, with additions such as background images and CSS3 effects that change their visual appearance. As with Inland, the design has been in focus – while simple and effective code has been a top priority. Both templates include the NivoSlider image slideshow plugin, and a set of beautiful photos by Thomas Wallström have been included to bring more colors into the designs. This is what the new templates look like:

Moving into the world of Creative Commons

Starting today, all future free HTML/CSS templates (both new designs and updates of previous releases) will be released under a Creative Commons CC-BY license. It will not mean any difference in terms of how the templates can be used, modified and redistributed, as the templates will remain free to download, free to use for both commercial and non-commercial purposes and free to modify and redistribute. The only difference in practice will be that attribution must be given when the templates are used or redistributed. By using an established license, there will be no more confusion about copyrights, limitations and the legal status of the designs.

To learn more about Creative Commons, I suggest watching this video presentation.

(Note: The WordPress themes will still be GPL)

New Drupal theme: Inland

The Inland CSS template has now been ported into a theme for Drupal and added to the Drupal themes page. The Inland theme for Drupal was created by Nick Young, and the theme includes support for the Nivo Slider header image slideshow. The project is under active development, and Nick is planning to add support for all layout features included in the template. If you use Drupal and you are looking for a new look for your site, check it out!

Coming up: Drupal and WordPress theme versions of the Inland CSS template

Drupal theme designer Nick Young, who have made the Drupal themes linked from this site, is reporting on Twitter that a Drupal theme version of the Inland CSS template is in progress and that it will be released soon. I can also reveal that I am working on a WordPress theme version, as well as on expanding the CSS template with a layout for mobile devices. Exciting news coming up soon, in other words. Stay tuned for updates!

Pinning images from this site on Pinterest

Screenshot of Pinterest.com

The online pinboard service Pinterest is a fast-growing site for pinning and sharing images and links of various kinds. In terms of popularity, it is a huge phenomenon that is used and appreciated by a large number of people worldwide. But Pinterest has also got a lot of criticism as the concept of pinning images can violate copyrights. This can make the seemingly innocent act of sharing a photo into a crime, as explained in this blog post from the Wall Street Journal. Since site owners have different views on copyright and pinning, I want to clarify my view regarding pinning images from andreasviklund.com:

Pinning content from andreasviklund.com on Pinterest is perfectly OK. I encourage it, and appreciate it as it helps others find my work. If you are inspired by the templates and themes that you find here, do not let scary blog posts like the one above stop you from using Pinterest – atleast not for images you find on this website.

I have added a “Pin it” button to the sidebar, and I am working on updating the layout of the template gallery and the single template pages to make it easier to share screenshots for those who want to. I will also be around myself, with a pinboard dedicated to design inspiration. More about that in future posts…
