Ben Dunkle on designing icons for WordPress [video]
I know many people attendedWordCamp 2009, in fact I believe there were 700 plus attendees. Well not every one showed up at the development day which was held at the Automattic office on pier 38.
WordCamp Development day was a BarCamp style event, and I was able to record a couple of the conversations. Here is a recording from Ben Dunkle (designer of the WordPress admin icons in 2.7+)
The first video uploaded to you tube that was approved, Ben Dunkle, designer of the admin icons you see on your WordPress install.

New theme release: CULT[i]VATE
Doing theme modification and even custom template files has brought me to this point. Today I’ve created my first premium theme, and since I am a huge fan of Hybrid, I decided that a child theme would be an appropriate starting point.
So after some time playing with many options and idea’s I’ve finally released a premium theme. This theme, which I am calling CULT[i]VATE is a child theme.
Unfamiliar with child themes? You may want to check out this post Ian Stewart wrote.
CULT[i]VATE is a child theme of the Hybrid:
Hybrid is a user-friendly, search-engine optimized theme framework, featuring 14 custom page templates and 9 widget-ready areas, allowing you to create any type of site you want.
CULT[i]VATE includes four new widget-ready area’s and one custom accordion widget for one of the area’s. It also includes two front page templates.
This theme is for sale for $12.00 which you can purchase here. Looking for a demo?

News
WordCult Theme release 0.3
I’ve had some time the last few days while my XPS computer has been having difficulties and the Dell replacement parts didn’t fix, what I know now to be a faulty LCD screen.
So I’ve made a few updates and changes to my WordCult theme. The new version is: 0.3.
Update for 0.3:
A lot of changes to the core files, many files have been changed, removed and moved. So please if upgrading, backup your database. The core folder has been changed from wordcult2
to wordcult
so you may want to just upload it as another theme and activate it.
For any other changes please view the changelog or view the readme file.
If you’ve noticed any issues please contact me or leave a comment.
Update for 0.3.0.1:
This was fast.. I forgot to add a function to my sub_page_menu
:).
Update for 0.3.1.1:
Crucial update! Fixes an spelling error in the metaboxes.php file, which could pose an issue with your custom fields like the “image” dynamic resizer.

Add additional meta boxes to Hybrid Theme
At the time of writing this post I have Theme Hybrid as my parent theme, and am using a custom version of Hybrid News that Justin Tadlock offers to the public.
Well I want to tell you how you can add additional custom meta boxes to your child theme’s running the Hybrid Theme.
In your child function.php
file just add the following to create a new post meta box:
/** * Add additional post meta boxes * * by WPCult */ function wpcult_post_meta_boxes($meta_boxes) { $meta_boxes['image'] = array( 'name' => 'image', 'default' => '', 'title' => __('Image:'), 'type' => 'text', 'show_description' => false, 'description' => __('Please use a full size image, larger than 500px (this photo will dynamically re-size itself!'), ); return $meta_boxes; } add_filter('hybrid_post_meta_boxes', 'wpcult_post_meta_boxes');
This will create a custom meta box called Image, and will create a custom field with the id of image.
Additionally you can create this on pages as well by copy/paste and replacing “post_meta_box” with “page_meta_box” every where inside the function.
