I’ve just started using WordPress as my blogging platform and really like the widget plugins. I also like the idea of letting users skin my blog using a theme switcher. The first one I found was Ryan Boren’s Theme Switcher. Unfortunately, it is not set up as a widget, but rather as plugin you manually add to the sidebar code. That is just too much work for someone as lazy as me. So, here is my slightly modified version as a standard widget. You can add it to your wp-content/plugins directory, then go to Presentation-> Widgets and add it to your sidebar. If you click on the configure icon, you can add whatever title you want (the default title is ‘THEMES’) and change from the default list to a dropdown. Have fun. I really didn’t do much work on this thing other than to grab some code off the ‘net to turn it into a widget. If there is somewhere that I should post it, somebody please let me know.
