The Red Three WordPress Theme

The Story

I’ve had hundreds upon hundreds of requests for this certain WordPress theme I was using at my personal blog for the past 12 months. The three column theme labeled as “The Red Three” displays content in a very organized manner, providing room in the two sidebars for extra content, advertisements, or notices you wish to provide for your reader-base.

The public release of this theme is my way of saying thanks to the WordPress community, and you - the readers of Desktop Vibes.

The theme which was originally created by Andreas Lengyel, then further customized by myself has had hours upon hours of dedication and hard work put into it. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have over the past year.

Instructions

Red Three is a three column theme made specifically for WordPress blogs. To edit the title/description of the site in the header, edit these values in the manage settings section of the WordPress back-end.

Please leave all footer links in-tact. These are served as a way for readers of your site to source the original theme download page.

Download & Install

Known to be compatible with WordPress 2.5+. If you are running an older version of WordPress, please, stop what you are doing and upgrade! To install, download and unzip the unstandard directory and upload to wp-content/themes.

Download Red Three Version 1.1

Update: This theme has been updated to version 1.1. Version 1.1 is now compatible with widgets in WordPress.

    Congrats on the new site, it’s also a very nice theme you’ve chosen - I considered it when I redesigned my site.

    I look forward to lots of new content, and maybe three YouTube videos a week? :-)

    Congrats on the new site. Looks like a sweet theme. And with a little bit of tweaking, you could probably change the colour of the site as well.

    Red Three is a great theme, I’d have definitely used it when I had my personal blog up. Thanks for releasing it.

    Hey Glenn,

    Thanks so much for the theme! You moving to a new brand really inspired me to try to get back to work on my brand…I’m stuck on how to exactly pick a niche though…

    Hi glenn,

    Just wanted to say congrats on the new release, but is there any way it will be coming to blogger (in conjunction with google)?

    Thanks

    Thanks! I’m currently using it and it’s great. By the way, I have 10 invites for the Dropbox beta if anyone is interested.

    You might want to tune up the home.php template. The query sets wordpress manually to display 15 posts, whereas not every user wants 15 posts. Removing it lets the user set the number specifically in the wordpress admin panel.

    Excellent theme btw. =D

    I’ve been using version 1.0 for a while and would like to get the widgetized version. I’ve done a bunch of modifications to the code to make it work perfect for my blog and was wondering which files are actually changed between 1.0 and 1.1 (this way I’ll only have to remodify the files I actually have to, not all of them).
