Squible
Squible is co-developed by Theron Parlin and James Carppe.

This is the home for the Squible Wordpress theme. The purpose of theme (besides putting out something that’s different from the herd) is to promote the use of social networking within Wordpress. How? By including the tag system I built that sits on top of Wordpress categories into the theme. Other neat features include an advanced layout, support for multiple plugins, the ability for registered users to add tags, livesearch, ajax commenting and an archives page with support for extended live archives. For the latest and greatest information, see the official Squible discussion board at Thought Mechanics. For announcements, subscribe to the google group.
Current Version
The current version is Squible Beta 2 (Note: this requires Wordpress 2.0. If you’re reluctant to switch to WP2.0, then use Alpha 2.5). View the demo site.
Installation

Acknowledgements
The squible theme got its inspiration and code from a variety of places, I don’t want to leave anyone out so I will do my best to give credit where credit is due.
Design and layout was inspired by the following blogs and sites:
- Technorati
- Binary Bonsai’s K2
- Niggle
- Somefoolwitha.com
I’ve also borrowed a good amount of code from K2, specifically for the menu and for livesearch.
