Just a little holiday cheer from the many people that contribute to the WordPress project. If you are looking for a free WordPress Theme here is a quick search of the Extend Themes repository that will give you some options:

Of course, the plugin authors have their own merry making to add to the season as well and you can find a listing of the Extend Plugins repository with this little search:

Don’t forget to use the “Sort by” function on the search pages to arrange the results to your preference.

Calendar Default Widget Broken

I just happened to notice this today. The calendar default widget that comes with WordPress is having issues. It appears to work fine on the initial visit to a blog’s home page, but if you start reading the archives, especially using the calendar as a navigation tool you may find the calendar using some very oddly structured months.

Here is the trac ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11414, so it is being addressed.

In the meantime, I have decided to install the Ajax Calendar plugin as a substitute. There are many other calendar plugins available but this one suits my current needs.
