This site is my personal portfolio and blog website. It features a blog which has a fluid, auto-aligned format where post excerpts are expanded to full posts via ajax. In addition to the blog, the site features some of my latest web projects and an information section. Overall, it is a simple yet functional site.

Child theme support has landed in the Carrington core framework. We’d love to get some additional real-world testing on this before we tag the next core version.
You can grab the latest from SVN on Google Code. Then simply replace the carrington-core directory in your theme with new version you have checked out from:
http://carrington.googlecode.com/svn/framework/trunk
and that should do it.
Note that the way child theme support is implemented, your child theme can add new templates to your theme as well as overriding existing templates. I think this is necessary for Carrington – it allows you to create custom templates for your specific site and have them upgrade cleanly via the child theme.
Feedback welcome.
UPDATE:
The steps to test if you want to make a child theme for a Carrington theme (before this support is rolled out in new releases):
- Download the framework from SVN using the URL above and replace the carrington-core directory in your parent theme.
- Create your child theme (which can include new Carrington templates).
That’s it.

TDI’s newest website, built by Crowd Favorite on WordPress MU and BuddyPress, was imagined and designed by the clever folks at Crispin Porter + Bogusky.
While the main part of VW’s TankWars site is powered by WordPress MU, the most interesting aspect of the site is its use of BuddyPress. Each driver’s profile (see the “Leaderboard“) contains their best mileage score and rankings. Users can upload photos, vote on profiles, and leave comments.
