Iceburgg is a wordpress theme to give your blog a feeling of the season we all know as winter. using blues and whites, Iceburgg provides a simply, flowing blog design that spawned off the creation of the header one random day in photoshop. You see, the whole story dates back to the year 226, when a caveman was found drawing the iceburgg logo on the wall of a - whatelse - cave in Antartica. From there, Iceburgg evolved into the beautiful theme you see today, with all that new fancyness such as valid xhtml and css. That caveman would have been proud.
If you've never installed a wordpress theme before, it's trully a revolutionary process. Simply unzip the iceburgg folder and upload it to your ".../wp-content/themes/" folder, keeping the structure in tact so it would end up looking like this: ".../wp-content/themes/iceburrg/". And that's it. No painstacking "WTF DO I DO HERE?". Next, head to your Wordpress Dashboard and click the presentation tab. You should see a sweet looking mountain logo with Iceburgg above it. Simply select it and watch as your design magically changes to the best winter theme out there.
If you want to be really crazy, you could always book a plane and head to Antartica in search of a piece of ice that resembles the Iceburgg logo - or you could simply dive into the theme and get customizing. The main file you'll need to make most of the edits on is the style.css. From there, you can customize almost all the elements of the day, from layout to text and font colors, line height, font family, etc. You can even drop in your own header images and stuff like that.
The theme design is contained to 3 major pages and the comments page (which of course, holds comments). The three main files you'll be dealing with are index.php (homepage), single.php (single post view), and page.php (wordpress pages template). There's nothing ground breaking about the code used in each of these pages. You'll even find that the single and page templates have 100% exactly the same code. How easy! Making edits is a very simply process that anyone with basic html skills could do. All these pages have been source formatted to make it as easy as possible to navigate through - no messy code here.
Currently, the about me section of the homepage pulls your tagline / site description from the wordpress options and outputs it into the about me section of the design. Of course, you may want to go a little more detailed than that, so how exactly do you do it? It's simple. Simply scroll down to lines 59-62 of the index.php. You'll see "< ?php bloginfo('description'); ? >" between two "< p >" tags. Removed the php tags and type whatever you want between the paragraph tags and your good. No more tagline about section, but your own customized one!
We have some killer wordpress guides because we're big fans of wordpress. There's a whole slew of articles here. The wordpress codex has always been a favorite resource of mine for figuring things out.
