Sunset Farm Details:
Latest Version: 2.00
Added on: 2010/04/15
The Sunset Farm theme marks my 30th WordPress theme!
Time flies. I have been consistently designing WordPress themes for more than a year now. This time I have implemented some new ideas.
The first idea is to release this theme with options page where you can insert your Twitter username, feed URL, Google Analytics code etc. You can also perform more customization like defining your own header image and font style. I will show you how they work below.
The second idea is to make this theme available free with conditions. Read on and find out how you can get it free below.

Blog Title and Description
The demo is showing a special font as below:
By default, after you install the theme, the blog title and description are showing the Times New Roman font.
You can change the font style by following this instruction:
Part 1: Modifying Font Style
– Download this PSD zip file (also include the font that I use that is available free from fonts4free.net.)
– Extract and open the PSD file in the Photoshop/ImageReady program
– Change the title and description using your desired font (you are free to modify the header image if you want)
– Save the image using this name: bg_header.jpg
– Upload the image to your server in the “/styles/custom/” folder
Part 2: Activating the Style
– Login to your WP admin
– Go to the options page of the Sunset Farm theme under “Appearance -> Sunset Farm”
– Find “Theme Style” under “Layout Setting”
– In the pull-down menu, select “custom.css”
– Save the setting and go to your site to see the changes.
Ad Widget
An ad widget can be found under the “Available Widgets” section. You can drag the widget to Sidebar 1 and/or 2. This widget allows you to add your advertisement while keeping the sidebar design. Please limit the width of your ad to 160px.
