After careful consideration and attentive listening to customer feedback about WP-Vybe 1.1, we have revamped the theme and are excited to now have a new 2.0 release for you.
WP-Vybe has been a much-loved theme for many customers but there were some concerns about the changes in functionality that were made with the version 1.1 release. [...]
One of our customers sent us the following comment in reaction to WP-Terra’s release:
Must admit Terra is a very nice theme. Very stylish and does not even make the site look like a WordPress powered site.
This in a nutshell described our goal for this new theme. We would like to push WordPress themes in new [...]
The Solostream team has been working extremely hard over the last month. We have been aggressively pushing new releases to give you many new theme choices for your blogs and sites.

I get a lot of folks who want to add a header graphic to my Simplicity WordPress theme, so I figured it was time to just write a tutorial on it. It’s really pretty simple to do.
This tutorial provides step-by-step directions on how to install WordPress on your own server.
I’m doing a little experimentation with streaming video on a WordPress site. As part of that experimentation, I created a brief video introduction to WordPress. I think it’s like 15 minutes long. I’d like to know if you have any problems viewing the video, so please share via the comments link. Thanks!
There are probably over 1000 free WordPress blog themes/templates out there. Yet, I still get people who write and ask me to help them design their own. And that’s cool. After all, it’s a great way to express one’s creativity. This post marks the first in a series to help you do just that: create your own WordPress blog theme. Before we get into WordPress blog/theme design, however, we need to talk a little bit about WordPress itself.
My tutorial on adding Flash video to your Worpdress site was pretty popular … this tutorial is designed to make it easy for you to add Quicktime video to your WordPress site.
So you want to create the next Rocketboom (video blog). Or perhaps you have some video you want to add to your WordPress blog or website. This tutorial shows you how to do it with WordPress.
In this lesson, I show you how to install a plugin that’ll help create an email feedback page for your site. In the process, you’ll also learn how to create new pages for your WordPress site.

Love the idea behind this site and will be following, but, it would be great to have written articles as well as those video downloads (20 min download for me!) . Or have I missed them?

Mark: Thanks for writing. Sorry the downloads are taking so long. I’ll probably do written articles when I start charging people to access the info on Hacking Kubrick. For now, I just don’t have the time. The are many, many great written articles in the WordPress Codex at http://www.codex.wordpress.com.

Windows Media Player. Won’t work in QT. Not sure about divx or Winamp.

Michael, man, do you have any idea of intergrating Image maps into a kubrick header? i have done the raw method by getting rid of the kubrick header and pasting the image map html codes,
but i think there might be a better way.
if possible could you show how as to go about?
thanks

Thanks for making this tutorial. I’m finding it very useful. The videos worked for me in the vlc media player version 3.3.1.
