You may not even be able to tell, but the VoodooEmpire3 WordPress theme that is used on this very site is very near to completion after a fun day of coding.  The integration of many new features was seamless!  Everything looks the same, but it doesn’t have to anymore!  We’ve added a full featured admin menu onto the theme.  You can now swap out the background, the header image, the footer image, all the icons in the footer, all the links in the footer (including the copyright info), you can specify default thumbnails to be used in titles and posts if no ‘featured image’ is selected, you can swap out RSS feeds for a feedburner feed, you can even upload your own ttf or otf fonts and then assign them to various areas of the site.  Plus, if you swap out the header for your own, you can specify a new logo to drop on, and give it a link.  The only thing left to do is graphical.  We want to give you choices!  So soon, you will be able to pick from a variety of colour schemes!  And you can do this all from a menu system, how cool is that?  Just keep your eyes out for the official release of the theme, coming soon!

Well, been working on the finishing touches here at The Voodoo Empire.  You are looking at the final product.  We wanted to get the theme finished before the release of WP3, which will start the process all over!  Already in the plans are a new menu system for just under the header.  The one in place (the internal WP text links, not the external image based nav) is a bit dated, but WP3 is going to have a new menu system, so we are waiting to overhaul that.  We just refinished overhauling the sidebar, and touching up just a bit of the typography…things like spacing in the titles, leading caps, etc. 

But as far as WP2.x goes, we’re going to consider this a final theme.  It’ll stick around here a while finally.  This is probably the 3rd major theme change, with countless edite to themes and verious overhauls.  But we’ve finally got things pretty much where we want them.  Hope ya like it!

It’s the latest update in the overall overhaul of the Voodoo Empire’s online presence!  This time the Voodoo Forums have been done up!  The theme fits real nice with the look that is now present on the Voodoo Empire main site, the filesharing site, and the Blog!  All that’s left is an overhaul of the shop, and some minor details on the wiki!  Check em all out for yourself!

After launching the new Voodoo Empire homepage, and adding a filesharing service skinned to match, Rev. Voodoo thought it might be cool to build up a new theme for his blog.  That is what you are looking at now!  It still needs some tweaks here and there, but it’s near complete!  It fits in real well with the overall Empire feel.  Now that this site is upgraded, the previous theme will be released to the public very shortly!

If you are on the Voodoo Empire website you are looking at the new official version of our theme.  This theme represents a serious amount of learning and trial and error for Rev. Voodoo, but in the end it was quite fun and the results are very cool.  We hope you enjoy, and the theme should be released publicly very soon.

If you’ve come here looking for a demo of the Voodoo Empire 2 theme v1.7.2, it’s available for download, but it looks nothing like this site.  Rev. Voodoo is working on the finishing touches for v2.0 of the theme, and as you can tell by looking around here there have been many changes.  If you like this theme, don’t worry!  It’ll be out for public release this month.  Until then take a look around and enjoy, and don’t forget to leave feedback about the theme, maybe things can be added before the release, or in a future update!

It’s been a while since an update to the VoodooEmpire2 theme was released for WordPress.  But all of the updates have been packaged together and are here for your download.  The changes are pretty cool.  First, some of the code was simply cleaned up, I’m learnin to code slowly and was able to clean up some redundant and/or useless code.  The alignment in the sidebars is a little cleaner.  The greeting message was moved from inside the banner to overlaying the top of both sidebars, and instead of the user having to edit the theme themselves, they can simply click on Theme Options in the admin menu to change to a custom greeting.  Finally instead of the simple text footer we had, there is now a 3 column widget area in the footer.  All these options are active on this site so check it out, download, and enjoy.  As always, if you have any ideas or questions, let me know.  I’m always willing to learn, and to try to help.

The VoodooEmpire2 theme has just been rereleased by The Voodoo Empire.  Not much has changed, just cleaned up some code, and added a few lines to make it fit better with newest WordPress requirements.  It can still be downloaded at it’s permalinked location here.  Recently WordPress has opened their theme repository here, and Rev. Voodoo released it there but wanted to clean the code up first.  It’s available for download from there as well.
