Hello!

Welcome to LunaStone Designs. My goal is to create personal, creative and affordable blog templates and web pages without sacrificing quality. I am self taught, so I don't have any hefty credentials to throw at you. But I love the challange of new things and am constantly learning many things along the way.

I must let you know that, even though I am a stay at home mom, I still do have a "real life". My best times to work are Mon - Wed during the day. Thurs - Sun are usually either busy with "Mom/Wife" stuff or I just can't get to the computer as I have to share it with a husband & two kids. I do try to work on these days when I can, but it's not a guarentee

Besides templates and web pages, I will also be posting about different plugins, tricks, scripts, help websites, etc. I hope you find them helpful.

Thanks for stopping by & you can always Contact Me or leave me a comment in the Q & A section if you have a question.

Here are some recent examples of my work:

Best Plugins & Widgets Lists

AnyFont

Want to do something new with your blog? Take a look at the AnyFont plugin for WordPress, which allows you to use any truetype font for post titles, menu items or anywhere else you want to use a custom font in your current WordPress theme design. This plugin automatically generates images using the desired font and changes your preferred text items with those image items. No code editing is required from your side. Text replacement options are available for post titles, page titles, widget titles, blog name and blog description.

NOTE: This is like the TTF Titles, but much easier to use & Also allows you to change the font of your widget sidebars.

Twitter Friends Widget

Twitter Friends is a WordPress plugin that displays your Twitter friends/ followers in your sidebar in the same way that they appear on your Twitter homepage.

WordPress, version 2.8

WordPress, version 2.8 is now available. I upgraded all my blogs this morning & it seems to work great EXCEPT for with my Paranormal blog which has more than 2 sidebars… BTW, I’m using the Arras Theme.

When it works, the new widget “Drag N Drop” system is great! Much more time friendly then the previous style.

All in all, I give it a 3.5 out of 5 so far.

Taggegator (TagGator)

TagGator is an auto tagging plugin, provide the plugin with some keywords, it will convert these keywords to tags and automatically adds this tag to all posts containing these keywords.

Emergency Sale

The $10 sale is over, but the templates are still on sale, for $20.

I’ve been adding to the premade templates the past few days, including 3 Halloween & 2 Christmas ones… one of which comes with 2 templates.

Here are some screenshots… You can mouse over them for larger shots & click on them to see working examples.

They’re still all on sale for $10 off, but the sale will be ending soon.

WP Wall

WP Wall is a “Wall” widget that appears in your blog’s side bar. Readers can add a quick comment about the blog as a whole, and the comment will appear in the sidebar immediately, without reloading the page.

All comments are internally handled by WordPress so that means you have normal comment moderation, SPAM protection and new comment notification.

WP Wall is fully customizable with a CSS file and included graphics.

WP Wall features:

  • Global commenting “Wall”
  • Comments are handled entirely by WordPress
  • RSS Feed for the Wall
  • Smilies
  • Instant delete for admin
  • Option to display HTML and make links clickable
  • Navigation through pages

Interactive Wall: It can automatically refresh turning into a chat
