Notes Blog Core is available from wordpress.org.
You can also download and install the theme from within your WordPress install. Just go to Themes and then Add New. Search for “Notes Blog Core” or the author “tdh” and you’ll find it!
Core is licensed under GPL version 3.
Requirements
The Core needs WordPress 2.8 or newer to work, so if you’re running that, you can use the Notes Blog Core theme.
It will probably not run on versions of WordPress prior to 2.8, and there are no plans to support these at this time.
Language Files
The Core theme is localization ready, and in the theme package you’ll find a language file called notesblog.po. Use translation software such as poEdit to translate this to your language, unless there already is one available below, and save the translation in accordance with your language code (see here, sv_SE for Sweden for example). Put the translation in the Core theme folder and the theme will use it, assuming that you’ve got WordPress setup to use the particular language in the first place.
Available Translations
The following translations are available within the theme package. More will be added as they get released and approved for addition.
- Swedish (sv_SE) courtesy of TDH
- French (fr_FR) courtesy of Tams Design
- German (de_DE) courtesy of Martin Anton Müller
- Polish (pl_PL) courtesy of M@kowiec
- Turkish (tr_TR) courtesy of Ersan Özdil
Translations temporarily hosted on notesblog.com (to be added in next release):
- None at the moment.
Translations located elsewhere:
- Danish (da_DK) download
Have you done your own translation? Be sure to let me know so that I can include it here!

Any updates on the child theme?
The first child themes will be released within the month. Reality kicked in, a bunch of sites already run Notes Blog Core, including a blog network, so expect more soonish.
Unless I’m blind, I still don’t see the child theme?
Still not out, sorry.
Ahh okay. Glad I’m not blind!

Thord:
I apologies for disturb you, but I have a problem with your WordPress Theme.
I did installing your theme (Notes Blog Core) because is simple, clean, and wonderfull!
Now I want put a background image in the blog’s title, reaching one side to the other of the big black line placed in the bottom of the title, and I don’t know how to do this.
Maybe you can give me the code to do this.
The second question is:
When I try to install a widget (Pages) on the submenu, the word “Páginas” appears over the submenu. I don’t know how take out that word.
Well, if you can’t help me with this, don’t worry about, I know you are busy. I will find the way to do it.
You can check my site at http://www.juliosandovalberti.com.ar
By the way, your Theme is realy great!
I live in Argentina, regards!
Hi Julio. This post will hopefully solve your problem. Good luck!
Thord:
Yesssss! I did it, just like you said!!!
Excellent!!! Great!!!
I did use the text widget to configurate de submenu, and look’s great now! Thank you very much!!!
I am happy now.
That’s great!

Hello
I wonder if you can give me some advice.
I have tried everything but cannot get my RSS feeds to work in Opera, Firefox or IE 8.0. They do work in Safari. I am using the standard WordPress Meta widget.
This is Opera’s error but fundamentally they are all the same: Error!
XML parsing failed
XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 2, Character: 0)
Error:XML declaration not at beginning of document
Specification:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/

2:
3: <rss version="2.0"
4: xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
5: xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
I have installed and run the feedburner plug in but to no avail. The strange thing is that the feeds don't work with any themes including your Notes Blog or the WordPress Default.
I think I am being a bit stupid and missing something obvious?
Please can you help?
Tracey
Hello
Firstly my profuse apologies. It was me, I have taken the whole thing off and started again and now everything works.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your theme (as I knew there wouldn’t be).
My RSS feeds are now fine.
The book is excellent, thank you very much!
Tracey
I’m glad it worked out for you!
Doesn’t render correctly with ie6
Where are you seeing this?
I emailed it to you over 6 months ago. You said you were going to fix it.
The items at the bottom scroll up into the middle of the page on IE6. I’ve tried it on my computer, on browsershots.org, and even on browserlab.adobe.com and it always does this.

Sorry, must have fallen off the todo (unless I fixed it already). I’ll try to recreate and see what I can do.
Any chance you can provide a testing version or something so I can test it?
I’ve managed to recreate the problem. Will try to solve it whenever I get a minute or two over this week. Tight schedule so chances are it will slip to the next I’m afraid.
Any chance of solving it this week
Yep. It’s on my list for the week.
Version 1.0.2 is released. Let’s hope this fixes the issues you’re having.
Hej, jag vill bara säga tack för en snygg sida, jag letade länge efter ett tema som jag ville ha men fastnade inte för något. Sedan hittade jag din sida när jag surfade omkring och är superglad. Nu ska jag börja lära mig hur man utvecklar sidan med widgets etc… det var 15 år sedan jag höll på med html och det jag lärde mig då är stenålder jämfört med vad man kan göra idag.. så från en glad amatör säger jag tack och glad påsk!
I’m glad you like it!

Hej Thord Daniel Hedengren!
Har jag fattat det rätt? Har jag köpt en bok på engelska (Smashing WordPress) från dig som verkar vara från Sverige?
Låt mig säga att jag gärna vill lära mig hur man bygger upp en blogg, men att jag har jobbigt med engelskan. Men som sagt jag ska försöka att ta mig igenom boken och lära mig av exemplet som du har på wordpress/themes, stort tack för den!… Vi får väl se hur det går, vill så gärna ha en blogg som nyhets sida till min hemsida och kanske en dag…..
Kram Kim
