A Wordpress Theme for Barack Obama Supporters
March 11, 2008 ( 11 )
We had a departmental meeting last month at Category 4 and realized that 1) we all liked Barack Obama, and 2) we wanted to release some free Wordpress themes since we use WP for so many of our smaller projects. The combined result is Probama, the first freebie of what I hope will be many.
The theme is meant for bloggers who want to focus on Obama’s political career and specifically his campaign for president. I handled design and production duties while the talented Matt Dawson implemented some custom control panel functions that let you edit RSS info for YouTube, Feedburner and Flickr.
The full list of features:
- Control panel options for Flickr, Youtube and Feedburner
- Subcategory dropdown menus
- Author-highlighting and gravatars in the comments section
- Custom archives page
- Latest-post highlighting on homepage
- Dynamic subpage menus
- RSS integration with BarackObama.com
- Additional print.css stylesheet
View the release page, check out the live demo and Digg the theme if you like it!

Outstanding work! Any ETA on the release of Mimbo Pro? Looking forward to making that purchase.
Thanks again for your work.
I was thinking the same tracy, first i thought the title said; a wordpress theme for mimbo pro supporters. :)
That’s great. I was telling my fiance last night that if I can’t decide on a candidate to vote for, Barack wins in my book because he’s got a sharp website. Hah, I was joking, but now there’s a WP Theme to match, sweet!
I like the theme, but I must say the slogan made me think of “problema,” aka. problem in spanish (PR slogan nightmare). Ha.
I’m hispanic, and I strongly believe Obama will have a huge support from most of the minorities citizens and with no doubts he will be the first minority to get in the White House as a president of United State. I predict California, Texas, Florida and New York would be the keys for his victory to Mr. Obama in November 2008.
