Starting Off On The Right Foot.

Note: While you're not at all required to credit the CSS Tinderbox or have a link back to this site if you use a template, I'd really appreciate either one. Thanks!

WordPress Tinder (Just Added)

A small collection of very simple WordPress template frames that can be easily customized and adpated to suit your needs. They're built for WordPress 2.7 or later and set up to use widgets in multiple locations.

As with any WordPress template, you'll more than likely need to adjsut the styles a bit to mesh with your current settings.

(NOTE: Web geek tested and approved in Firefox 3.0 (Win), Firefox 2.0 (Mac), IE7 (Win), Opera 9.6 (Win), Safari 3.2 (Mac). IE6 can go to hell.)

2. Using an FTP client to access your host web server, upload the theme to the wp-content/themes directory in WordPress.

3. Select the new theme in the Apperance > Themes admin screen.
