I’ve been saying to myself for a year or so now that I would develop my own WordPress theme to distribute on the web. Well, I recently have had my tonsels out which has meant lots of time has been spent either in bed, or lounging around the house (be it in pain but still). The other day I decided I finally started, and three days in its going really well!
The name of my first WordPress theme is (Nerd)Press, inspired by the TV show Chuck which I was watching at the time. So far I have working index and single-post pages, as well as working navigation, sidebar and footer sections, and finally a hugggee search bar panning 800+ pixels but looks very neat. The searchbar itself slides down using the ever popular jQuery which I am loving! I have also registered http://nerdpress.co.uk for when its ready to go public, at present there is only a centered logo up there but I plan on having an Email submission box up soon for anyone wanting to receive updates on my progress.
Thats about it for now, but here is a screenshot of what I have so far.

This theme looks so bloody cool mate. Loving the colours and feel of it.
AM looking to help distribute themes through my own site if you want any help getting the word out. If you want to do a post for my blog just talking bout any progress etc that would be great for me and hopefully for you to.
If you carry with this as its looking now I am sure this will be a big hit, so good to get the news out there before hand and all that.

I’ve signed up at nerdpress.co.uk. Let me know if you need any testing doing or anything.
@Dan - Thanks mate your help will come in handy when its ready for testing
Love the attention you gave to typography and whitespace. The coloring is discrete yet confident. 5* !
@Jose - Thanks for your kind words! I have just added a sign up on http://nerdpress.co.uk which will be used to send updates on NerdPress
Saw your Twitterings on releasing a free and premium version of NerdPress. Might be worth opening that discussion up on here. Also any vague idea of an ETA?
Nice design- like it.
@Dan - I am hoping to get it out soon as! I am bit stuck for time due to work commitments but if you add your email to http://nerdpress.co.uk I will be sending out updates of how I’m getting on
Re: The Free/Premium versions I am going to release this free with it been my first Theme and then future themes I may look at selling
