Affyn (Previously Affinity) Released: Version 0.9 [Updated With Download Link]

affi

Affyn’s been released! Previously Affinity, this theme has gone a name change after an unfortunate naming collision. Affyn is a free WordPress theme with a clean yet grunge design, a modular form of widget layout that allows for mason-like layout in the footer, and other great features that make it a great WordPress theme.

What’s with the wait?

I’d like to apologize for the eight month wait game I have been keeping everyone in. I promise that it was not a publicity stunt nor a cheap way to get more visitors, but rather an inconvenient mix of time constraints and other tasks. I’ve been lately working on writing as well as starting some other large-scale and small-scale projects.

I made this problem even worse. I had originally checked for naming conflicts in November 2009. RocketTheme released a theme called Affinity in January of 2010. They are commercial and larger and it has forced me to undergo a name change so I won’t have to fight for the namespace.

I asked my followers on Twitter what the new name should be. I’d like to remind everyone that I value every comment and tweet that is addressed to me (@bradr) and employ TweetDeck to catch them all. I appreciate everything.

Where can I get Affyn?

You can get more information on my WordPress page.

Download it here: Affyn download from BW servers.

Thanks, Brandon! Just downloaded Affyn and am looking forward to playing with it. If I use it for my blog, I will definitely link to you and ask you to do a guest post about silence and web design.
