I worked on designing and implementing a new editing interface on WordPress.com and my favorite feature is the fullscreen mode. I redesigned it to be as clean and zen-like as possible. I love using it and hope you do too.
Happy writing.

WordPress theme
The first thing I did when I got my job at Automattic was to design a WordPress theme I always wanted, but couldn’t find. Its a single column theme that is super flexible. I’ve been using it on this site for well over a year and I’ve changed the font, color scheme, and background photo.
Check out the announcement post and this featured post over on the WordPress.com blog.
My sister Carole is using it on her blog as do over a quarter of a million others. Its available for both your self hosted WordPress and WordPress.com site.

Embeddable Timelines
We recently launched embeddable timelines, which allows you to insert a nice list of recent postings on your site.
I had a lot of fun styling this one and really like how it came out. You can choose between two themes, depending on what you think will look best on your site.
Light Theme
[wptimeline url=”http://en.blog.wordpress.com” showgravatars=”true” width=”450″]
Dark theme
[wptimeline url=”http://withlovefromcarole.wordpress.com” showgravatars=”true” theme=”dark” width=”450″]
Add one to your WordPress site by visiting the timeline creation tool.

Sharing icons
When you set up a WordPress site, you can choose whether or not you would like your readers to have the option to share your posts. You can select which ones to display in a few different styles. I designed a colorful new set that was released today.
In the wild
Countless sites are using these buttons including Re/code, News Corp, and my boss Matt’s photo blog.. . .

Just Keep Making Things
I made this poster today.
Making things makes me happy, and sometimes its good to have a little reminder hanging on the wall.

Logos
I have a couple logo designs in the works, one for an antique car dealer, the other for a repair shop. Its always nice to take a break from the browser and get back into Illustrator.

Skate Paint
Brittny Badger and I had an extra skateboard laying around that we never use so we decided to gesso the deck and paint it up!
Check out the process video:
