Idea: WordPress Theme for Audio & Video Podcast Websites

Update (December 16, 2008): Thank you everyone for expressing such a great interest in this theme. I am hoping to release it early next year (2009). If you would like to support the development, donations are more than welcome.

Update: I have posted the first HTML mock-ups of this WordPress theme.

Here are a few sketches of a WordPress theme that would be ideal for video/audio podcast websites and blogs.

Here’s the deal — if 20 people who are currently producing a video/audio podcast leave a comment saying “I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.” then I will make it and release it for free (under GPL) as a response to TV.Elements ($50) and Video ($39).

“I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”
hehe

For sure we would use it.
We actually use our system podcast for http://www.ezoneonline.com.br/podcast.php
but we also want to grow it and make it as a separate part of the stuff :D

nahnu Jul 16, 8:26

i registered nahnu.tv for these themes :p

Miks Jul 16, 10:14

I think this one looks lot better than our theme on podraide.lv. So:

“I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”

Kaspars Jul 16, 10:35

kaiserlino, nahnu and Mik, I wasn’t expecting even a single person to comment on this so thanks a lot for your feedback. If continues at the same pace, I better go back to my HTML/CSS drawing board.

“I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”

That would be great for my upcoming blog.

Thanks!

steffy Jul 16, 11:48

sure I would use it for sure

m-alo Jul 16, 11:51

I’m currently not podcasting, but if I were, I would definitely consider using your theme.

Kunduz Jul 16, 12:47

I like your work, clean and artistic style, so I’d like to see other themes also..

Robin Jul 16, 20:04

“I would love to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”

Currently this is the 9th comment. Can i post 11 more?

Kaspars Jul 16, 20:14

Robin, sure you can, if you are currently producing/hosting/co-hosting two or more podcasts. Just give a link to those shows.

kaiserlino Jul 16, 23:45

Hey…
Thanks for answering…
Really hope you code them :D

I am not as good as you, but if need some help and i can do, will do for sure :D

I would absolutely use this for my video blog.

(makes me wish I didn’t pay $$ for video elements)

Adam W. Warner Jul 28, 18:29

I would LOVE to have access to this specialized audio and video WordPress theme. I run a website that provides free P-based blogs especially for media creators and will be adding specialized themes shortly.

Please, please, make this theme. I would happy to promote your site or otherwise help you.

Milt Lee Jul 28, 20:47

Yes, I can’t wait to use it. Thanks for a great looking theme.

amber Jul 29, 4:15

“I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”

Yes, please publish it!

Thanks,

Francis Aug 1, 6:23

Oh I want it, I want it! My video blog would be 100% better.

Add my vote.

Kaspars Aug 1, 11:59

kaiserlino, Miks and Adam W. Warner seem to be the only people who actually run their own audio/video podcasts (judging by the provided URLs).

I am really looking forward to the remaining 17 people who currently do produce a podcast, and theme will be yours.

So if you did leave a comment without the URL, please post it again.

Hchicha Aug 1, 12:10

Kaspars, ohh! :)

Here is my vidblog

Adam W. Warner Aug 4, 3:57

Yaaaaay!!!!!

Kaspars, I just want to give you a heartfelt THANK YOU. I’m excited to be able to develop with this theme!

Cathy Zheutlin Aug 4, 7:04

I would so want to use this for my podcasts which should be ready to go in September.

roxanne darling Aug 4, 7:10

Looks like a terrific theme! I would ask for a deep footer area too to list archives and categories, and hopefully it would accept widgets in the sidebar so we could run extra things in there.

Thank you!

florent Aug 4, 10:41

“I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”

Great looking theme – I’d definitely be interested in using this theme for my podcast/website/blog. :)

Milt Lee Aug 4, 19:17

I actually left the url for my newest blog. It’s not totally active yet as I want to use your theme for it. I didn’t realize that you wanted a URL for a blog that I’m doing all the time. Here that one is: http://hollowbonefilms.com

So when will the theme be available?
thanks,
Milt Lee
