My Next WordPress Theme – Shaken Tumble

Posted in: WordPress

Feb 14

Shaken Tumble will be the next theme that I will make available commercially on ThemeGarden, alongside my first theme, Shaken Grid. Shaken Tumble is a tumblog style theme that has similar functionality as Tumblr, allowing you to specify the format of your post (image, video, audio, etc).

Why not just use a Tumblr theme?

One of many reasons is because WordPress can be independently hosted and you’re not stuck on Tumblr’s servers, which have become so well known for crashing all of the time. WordPress also gives you a ton more freedom when it comes to managing your content, as well as its extendability.

When can I get it?

Stay tuned for more news regarding this theme. I plan on releasing it as soon as WordPress 3.1 is released, which should be right around the corner. And if you’re wondering what Shaken Tumble looks like, it’s the same theme I’m using on this blog. For now, check out the video demo above of the options available to you in the back-end of Shaken Tumble.

      No, WooTheme’s Express App requires you to also use their WooTumblog plugin. The theme I am releasing requires no plugins and will utilize WordPress’s built-in Post Format functionality, which is new in WordPress 3.1.
