UPDATE: This post has been superseded by Garland for Wordpress 2.2!
Someone in #wordpress requested a link to the WordPress port of the Garland theme1.
I realized that there probably wasn’t a pre-packaged version of it, so I checked it out of the WordPress.com SVN2 and zipped it up with my own two little hands.
You can now snag the Garland theme for WordPress from http://incoherentcode.com/wp-content/uploads/garland.zip.
Enjoy!
Note: Just to clarify, this isn’t a theme I made… It was ported by the folks over at Wordpress.com, I just happened to be the lucky guy to make a zip of it. See here for the announcement of its availability on WP.com.
Update: I’ve moved the location of the Garland download. You can now access the downloads at the links below. Each file is updated daily at 1am to ensure it’s constantly in sync with the current SVN copy — just in case those sneaky devs over at Automattic decide to make any updates!
No, I’m Still Not Going to Help You…
Kirillz in #wordpress told me that my last post seemed to be cut off, and that I should give more details on why I get so frustrated with people when I’m trying to help them. So here are two that I could think of right off the top of my head. I’m sure I’ll be able to add to this list in the near future…
#1
When you’re having a problem and have come looking for help, don’t try and tell me that you don’t think something I’m suggesting will help. If you knew all the answers, you wouldn’t be having a problem in the first place. My suggestion may very well not have any real impact on the problem, but I still expect you to walk through the troubleshooting steps I give you anyway. It’s the way I work, and during troubleshooting I’m driving you by remote control. Shut up and do it and tell me what happens when you’re done…
#2
People like people who help themselves. That’s especially true in my case. If you haven’t checked the clearly published documentation and aren’t willing to at least try to help yourself (and that includes Googling competently for the answer), don’t bother coming to ask me for help.
This also includes not giving a detailed explanation of your problem. There are just some things I expect you to walk in the proverbial door with, and a clear description of what you expected to happen and what really happened is one of them.
