Top Themes and Plugins http://www.ekstrapalma.com/wordpress WordPress Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:00:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 en A Plugin to Make All Themes Responsive, Coming Soon http://www.ekstrapalma.com/wordpress/a-plugin-to-make-all-themes-responsive-coming-soon/ http://www.ekstrapalma.com/wordpress/a-plugin-to-make-all-themes-responsive-coming-soon/#comments Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:00:04 +0000 admin responsive themes knowing aren 8217 responsive themes good a tiny mobile screen responsive plugin aims growing rapidly sadly released responsive plugin age mobile device usage a huge desktop screen http://www.ekstrapalma.com/wordpress/a-plugin-to-make-all-themes-responsive-coming-soon/ It’s no secret that I’m a fan of responsive themes. Knowing that your WordPress blog will look just as good on a tiny mobile screen as it does on a huge desktop screen is one of the most important factors of design to me, especially in today’s age where mobile device usage is growing so rapidly.
Sadly, there aren’t many responsive themes out there, but Responsive Plugin aims to change that. Once released, Responsive Plugin will make any theme scale perfectly on any screen size. There is no definitive release date, but it is definitely coming out sooner rather than later, and you can find a signup form at the bottom of the site if you want to follow the action.

If you’re a theme designer, you might also be interested in their core product, which provides metrics for theme usage.

It’s been a busy year for Matt. Three major WordPress versions were released, he switched back to using a Mac after 8 years on Windows, and he travelled 190,000 miles over 245 days.
Even though two weeks have gone by, it’s not too late to say “happy birthday” to Matt. In fact, he would prefer to receive all of his birthday gifts this year in the form of donations to Charity: Water through his birthday campaign. Matt has set an ambitious goal to reach $28,000 in donations by April, but if that goal is reached, his “birthday presents” will have provided clean water for 280 families in developing countries. Not everyone can head to the nearest faucet for a clean glass of water, so say “happy birthday” to Matt and help someone else enjoy some clean water today!
