The Psych Student is a widgetized theme good for Wordpress up through 2.7. It’s a modified version of the theme called Ambiru, originally designed by Phu, modified by Adam and then slightly altered again by me for use when my psychology course starts in the fall.

In honor of the Obama election and Guy Fawkes Day, I’m releasing the theme and associated plugins that make my website function. Download it here.

The design for this blog is an alteration of an alteration. The Modicus Remix theme for Wordpress is proving to be quite popular for an unsupported piece of open source brik-a-brak. Modicus Remix by Art Culture is a redesign of the theme Modicus by Upstart Blogger. I use a stripped down version of Modicus-Remix here, sexed up with a number of plugins, and slightly recoded to work better with Wordpress 2.5 – 2.6.
I’m now averaging about one question a week regarding the sidebar, which it seems a lot of people aren’t getting to work in their copies of Modicus-Remix. Mine didn’t work out of the box and I literally just hacked it until it did. No, I didn’t document this process and don’t quite remember everything I changed. So goes the fun process of home blog creation. The theme in its present incarnation requires a couple of plugins for it to work. Disable those plugins and your sidebar goes wonky.
To celebrate drew3000.net’s upgrade to WordPress 2.3.1 today, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez (photographed at left with his posse) has called on oil-rich nations to dramatically reduce what they charge poor countries for the commodity. The poorest countries should only pay about $20 (£9.60) for a barrel of oil compared with current market prices of more than $90, Mr Chavez said. He added that this site’s mid-version update of the popular open source blogging platform provided an excellent platform from which to call on fellow OPEC members to set aside $100bn from oil revenues to improve education and health in poor nations.
We on the Drew3ooo technical team applaud this move by the controversial Bolivarian leader, but would suggest raising the price for oil accordingly on imports to “red” states in the U.S. where President Bush won either popular or electoral votes.
But about the Wordpress upgrade…
