WordCamp Philippines

WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.



WP Theme Review: Rainbow Feather

Here’s a beautiful and colorful Wordpress theme from C. Julian Klewes of h4×3d.com.

Rainbow Feather is a fluid one-column wordpress theme. As the name suggests the colours in this theme are rainbow-ish. From Blue, baby blue, to yellow, orange, white, blue gradient and pink, barbie pink to evil pink. Cool features include: Fancy web2.0 like headings (wet graphics), custom badges “read on” and “continue reading”, matching color scheme/palette, Login area that shows logged in users (well it shows you and gives you options). This is only visible though if you have new user registration on. Also, a cool RSS-Feed graphic.

The author only indicates one column but actually it has a sidebar that is located on the left of the page and also has a bottom bar that you can use to display links, archives or any data that you want to show. Rainbow Feather has a fluid width so you won’t have to worry about screen resolutions.

Btw, I tested the Rainbow Feather on Mozilla Firefox, Flock, Opera and Internet Explorer 7 and it works just fine.

My Take:
I know you’ll agree with me that Rainbow Feather is easily one of the best designed Wordpress themes around. The design, custom graphics and gradients make it smooth and soothing to the eye. Some may not like the colors used but if you have some Photoshop skills, you can easily change that and customize it. This theme is widget-ready for all you widget lovers out there.

The author has previously released other Wordpress themes, but IMO Rainbow Feather is his best work so far. I give the Rainbow Feather a 4.5 out of 5.

    It’s a nice looking theme, but I’m looking for a balance between form and functionality. :wink:

    @jhay - Same here. For me, beautiful theme is useless if it doesn’t serve it’s purpose, right?

    You’re welcome! I like to feature and promote Wordpress themes that work and are well designed and this theme definitely has both.
