Ocean Mist is a theme for WordPress created by Ed Merritt. A friend of mine discovered this theme while looking for something to use on her site and shared the link with me.
Once I saw the theme in action, I immediately fell in love and figured that ExpressionEngine users might like to make use of it. Ed graciously granted me permission to port the theme, and so here it is.
Hello everyone!
Just a small note to anyone subscribed to the feed: Ocean Mist has been given an update to version 1.2.1. In this version, I’ve added Captcha support to the comment template for both versions of the theme. If you wish to add this to your existing installation, just follow the directions below!
In your comments template:
find
<div class="entry">
<p>Your response:<br><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
{if logged_out}
<p><input type="checkbox" name="save_info" id="save_info" value="yes" {save_info} />
<label for="save_info" id="label-save">Remember my personal information</label></p>
{/if}
<p><input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" id="notify_me" value="no" {notify_me} />
<label for="notify_me" id="label-notify">Notify me of follow-up comments?</label></p>
<p><input name="preview" type="submit" id="preview" tabindex="6" value="Preview Comment" /> <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="7" value="Submit Comment" /></p>
</div>
replace with
<div class="entry">
<p>Your response:<br>
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
{if captcha}
<p><label for="captcha">Please enter the word you see in the image below:</label><br />{captcha}<br clear="all" /><input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" size="22" tabindex="5" /></p>
{/if}
{if logged_out}
<p><input type="checkbox" name="save_info" id="save_info" value="yes" {save_info} />
<label for="save_info" id="label-save">Remember my personal information</label></p>
{/if}
<p>
<input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" id="notify_me" value="no" {notify_me} />
<label for="notify_me" id="label-notify">Notify me of follow-up comments?</label></p>
<p><input name="preview" type="submit" id="preview" tabindex="6" value="Preview Comment" /> <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="7" value="Submit Comment" /></p>
</div>
Easy fix, so it should go smooth!
This post contains a demo of how the different styling elements of all the themes. It contains the elements you will find yourself commonly using while posting to your site. Knowing how something looks before you “buy” (don’t worry… this is a free template) it generally helps… right?
Let’s start off with an ordered list right on the index and move the rest to the comments template:

This is just a test post with some dummy content to make sure the posts are lining up side-by-side as they do in the original. Using a count conditional rather than php made it so much easier and I have to give a big thanks to Lisa for pointing that out to me (as well as stressing the need for the weblog= stuff… One day I’ll remember it. Maybe...). So, with that said, poke around, comment and please point out any bugs you might find. I’m aware that there are some big ones right now, but that’s only because I haven’t had the time to really twiddle around and get everything working properly. That’ll happen tonight after dinner. Oh, and the Lorem Ipsum alternate text is created by the Text Generator at malevole.
Ulysses, Ulysses - Soaring through all the galaxies. In search of Earth, flying in to the night. Ulysses, Ulysses - Fighting evil and tyranny, with all his power, and with all of his might. Ulysses - no-one else can do the things you do. Ulysses - like a bolt of thunder from the blue. Ulysses - always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.

I released Ocean Mist 1.2 just about 30 seconds ago, so anyone looking to update can feel free to download the new zip file. Fair warning… as you can see here, Ocean Mist 1.2 is dramatically different than the previous versions. There are far too many changes to go into at the moment simply because I’m dead tired and my eyes are hurting. I’ll just mention the two biggest things…
If you want to skip that and just want to dive right in, head on over to the download page and have at it!
