Dribbble is a tremendous community of designers that allows participants to show off works-in-progress, creative processes, and current projects. ZillaDribbbler is a super-simple, super-swish WordPress plugin for loading your latest Dribbble shots into any post, page or sidebar. Handy.

The ZillaDribbbler Widget Options.

Perhaps spice up that “About Me” page you’ve been working on, by slamming your latest shots into your page with the ZillaDribbbler shortcode. Or, just no-look pass them into any sidebar with the ZillaDribbbler widget. Your call.

Nerdy stuff.

ZillaDribbbler uses the Dribbble API, WordPress HTTP API, and WordPress Transients API to grab, cache, and load your latest Dribbble shots. That means you’ll be show boatin’ shots with minimal impact on your site’s performance.

Like all of our plugins, ZillaDribbbler is completely free to use. Support is available to all those who have purchased a ThemeZilla theme and joined the Support Forum. Go download a copy.

In the past few weeks, we’ve released our 20th theme Hoarder, reached $1 million in sales and 27,000 units sold over at ThemeForest, and notched our free plugin count up to 4. Not to mention all the awesome works in progress. Phew! It’s a busy and exciting time for both our team and our customers.

But with such growth comes long hours and little sleep. After all, our “full time” team is only 3 members strong right now. So, we’ve decided it’s time to see the sun from outside instead of over the top of our iMacs. We’re looking to get an extra set of magical hands on deck to help us out with all the “stuff” we’ve got coming up in the next 6 months and beyond.

Who we’re looking for.

We’re looking for an über talented and super ambitious WordPress developer to join our full-time team for the foreseeable future. You need to be extremely experienced in WordPress development, specifically theme development. Some of the attributes we’re looking for in the new guy (or gal of course) include:

• Top notch coding skills (including PHP, HTML, CSS and Javascript)
• In depth knowledge of WordPress development
• Plenty of experience with “slicing-n-dicing” in Photoshop
• Excellent English communication skills (spoken and written)
• Preferably able to work in, or close to, GMT/UTC hours

Bonus points:

• Any previous experience with releasing products to a mass market
• Fluency in a second language
• An unhealthy love for customer support
• Past pro wrestling career

The Job.

A bit of everything. You’ll help us develop new themes, new plugins, and help keep our older products functioning like well-oiled machines. All of our team members, regardless of job title, offer support to our customers so you’ll need to be happy getting stuck in. You’ll be working remotely. In your pyjamas.

Cash Money.

If you’re planning on applying, ensure to give us your expected annual salary ($USD or £GBP). Payment would be made monthly by bank wire.

Applying.

If you think you’d fit the bill and are hungry to join one of the fastest growing companies in the WordPress space, then send us details about you and your work through our contact form over here.

Shutterbug is the first ever theme that we are releasing by an outside designer. The über talented Erin Nolan combined her love of pixel pushing and photography in crafting Shutterbug for all the photogs out there. Working with Erin was a dream, and will certainly encourage us to work with other designers outside the team in the future.

The yin to a photographer’s yang, Shutterbug offers a number of great ways to feature your work. Naturally, we’ve included filterable galleries, as no photography theme would be complete without them. But, we’ve included much more. Highlight your prized works by opting to include them in the hero slider or footer feature. We also give you control over your gallery layout, stack the images or put them in a snazzy slider—your choice.

Of course, we’d be remissed if we didn’t talk about the blog — this is a WordPress theme after all. You’ll find support for multimedia content – Tumblr style — included at no extra cost. Publish images, galleries, video, audio and more. Then check out how your posts stack up, masonry style. Nice.

Enjoy :)

Today we are proud to announce a new theme we’re calling Viewport. Take a quick glance, and you’ll see why. But this isn’t a portfolio theme. Oh, no. This theme is all about the written word. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see a crisp, clean, well structured layout. Not feeling the default layout? It’s okay, preferences differ. It’s natural. So to give you so flexibility, we’ve hooked you up with three different home page layouts.

If you are a WordPress truest, you are sure to pick the standard blog layout. Two parts content and one part sidebar to make one classic look. Feeling a bit adventurous? Stick with Viewport’s default layout. It’s those classic proportions, but with your posts divided amongst two columns. Don’t want that sidebar to distract from your articles? We get that. So drop the sidebar by using the full width blog template, and we’ll fill all three columns with your content. Nice.

Viewport's default layout in action.

Wondering about that Viewport? It’s pretty awesome. Use it to feature your favorite articles on the home page. Plus, you can easily post images/galleries, audio tracks, or videos in the viewport on your posts. Oh, and don’t worry. They’ll totally shrink to fit on your phone because the Viewport theme is 100% responsive.

Want the nitty gritty details? Well, we’ve packed in the usual suspects you’ve come to expect from us:

• Fully responsive
• Audio, Video, and Gallery post formats
• Custom widgets: Twitter, Flickr, video, ads, and popular posts
• Theme options for full theme control
• Color picker for easy accent customization
• Three home page layouts, one badass viewport
• And beaucoup more

Enough chatter. Go check it out already. Viewport Theme Details

Ever wanted an easy peasy way to link to all your social profiles on WordPress? Yeah, we thought you would. That’s why we created ZillaSocial. With ZillaSocial, use dead sexy icons to link to all of your favorite social profiles; and maybe a few that you gave up on years ago (myspace anyone?). Twitter? Check. Facebook? Yeah, we got that too. That one with the little pink basketball? Yup, got that one too, plus loads of others.

Get your widget on.

We’re pretty sure that if Brad Pitt were a set of icons, he’d be this set. Prekesh Chavda did a fantastic job at putting these together, and thoroughly deserves a slow clap.

More than just an über handsome set of icons, ZillaSocial is simply mega. ZillaSocial will work with any theme out there, and probably make it look a bit better. Add the icons to your sidebar with the ZillaSocial Widget or place them in posts and pages with the ZillaSocial shortcode.

Want even more control? Can I say: zillasocial(); Yeah, we coders had a hand in making this, so we insisted on including a function that you can add to your template files. We even set it up so that you can load icons X, Y, and Z on this page, and icons A and B on that post whether you’re using the ZillaSocial shortcode or the ZillaSocial function. Ultimate control. Nice. Developer fist bump.

Who’s this plugin for? We’re pretty sure it’s for everyone, and will make 97.3% of websites look 12.4% better. Commercial site for a client? Go for it. Your kid brother’s website about Scarlett Johansson, ZillaSocialize it.

The complete list of icons – 500px, AddThis, Behance, Blogger, Mail, Delicious, DeviantART, Digg, Dopplr, Dribbble, Evernote, Facebook, Flickr, Forrst, GitHub, Google+, Grooveshark, Instagram, Lastfm, LinkedIn, MySpace, Path, PayPal, Picasa, Posterous, Reddit, RSS, ShareThis, Skype, Soundcloud, Spotify, StumbleUpon, Tumblr, Twitter, Viddler, Vimeo, Virb, Windows, WordPress, YouTube and Zerply.

So, what are you waiting for? Go get the ZillaSocial plugin!

Today, we’ve opened the doors at ThemeZilla, and Orman decided to celebrate as he knows best: to give something awesome to you all. For free. Aptly named Launch, it’s a theme that we think you are really going to love. As a tumblog styled WordPress theme, it packs supports for video, audio, galleries, asides, links, quotes, and, of course, good ole standard posts.

Display a whole host of different media.

Personally, I think that Launch is a dead sexy theme. Orman really outdid himself on this one. But Launch packs more than just good looks. Having been built on our new framework, you’re getting the Theme Options you need, without the bloat. Nice!

We’d expect most folks to use Launch for micro blogging, but what are you going to do with it? Get started with Launch right now.

A great feature of the WordPress content editor is the ability to use shortcodes to enhance your content. However, WordPress only comes with the [gallery] shortcode. So today we are launching ZillaShortcodes, a free plugin that includes a bunch of shortcodes that is compaitble with any theme (not just our ThemeZilla themes).

The ZillaShortcodes plugin includes a bunch of popular shortcodes, you can include columns, buttons, toggles, alerts and tabs with the click of a button. The available shortcodes have been included in a super useful one-click menu, just to make things even simpler.

When creating a page or post, click the “Z” icon to reveal a list of shortcodes (you must be in visual editor mode). Choose the functionality you wish to include, configure the options and insert. Job Done.

Customers who have already purchased one of our themes will be aware that the shortcode functionality used to come packaged with our themes in the past. For several reasons we decided to pull it out of our themes and make it a plugin:

• To allow people who don’t use our themes to be able to use our shortcodes.
• You don’t have to worry about changing your theme and losing your shortcodes. Take them with you wherever you go.
• As a plugin it is easier to maintain and develop the code.
• When an update for the plugin is available, you will only need to update the plugin and not your entire theme.

All of our new themes will be 100% compatible with the plugin. If you have purchased one of our older themes, don’t panic. We are in the process of updating our older themes so that they will be compatible with the new plugin.

So, what are you waiting for? Go and take a look at the ZillaShortcodes plugin now.
