I just finished up the On Fire WordPress Theme for release. I started it as a one-off theme for What’s Hot!, and now I am releasing it.

It’s a 1-column theme called On Fire. You can see it in action at , or in action on the site it was designed for, What’s Hot!. It has 1 main column where the posts get written, with no blogroll. Be warned - this is a speciality theme, there are no archives links, categories and so on.

Several features might stand out to you. There is an RSS “feed” button on the top right, built into the title bar (and controlled via CSS), and there are feed links on individual articles, especially for comments. The “title” along the top, and in the index for each article, alters itself to whatever page is being viewed so it fits within the width of the theme.

See this theme in action on What’s Hot!.
