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 8:26

i registered nahnu.tv for these themes :p

Miks 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 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.

Eftu 10:55

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

That would be great for my upcoming blog.

Thanks!

steffy 11:48

m-alo 11:51

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

Kunduz 12:47

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

Robin 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 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 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

See ua

I would absolutely use this for my video blog.

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

Adam W. Warner 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 20:47

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

amber 4:15

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

This would be perfect for my video blog.

Yes, please publish it!

Thanks,
G.

Francis 6:23

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

Add my vote.

Kaspars 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 12:10

Kaspars, ohh! :)

Here is my vidblog

Kaspars 12:27

Hchicha, excellent. Now we are at 4.

Warren 17:54

Thank you everyone. It looks like I’ll have to do it.

Adam W. Warner 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 7:04

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

roxanne darling 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 10:41

“I would so want to use it for my podcast’s website/blog.”
I change it for september. All my podcasts tell about employement, jobs and hire.

This is an exemple here :

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

Milt Lee 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
