As mentioned here before. on my personal blog I decided to install Habari. While I still enjoy working with WordPress here and elsewhere, I have found Habari suits my personal blog quite well since I do not need all the bells and whistles which I use elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the one thing the platform does lack is a very large stash of themes. This fact could hinder many from using it considering most of the themes that are available favor minimalist designs. While this is not an issue for the current adopters, I can see why others are reluctant. In an effort to add to the development of the project, I decided to take a shot at adapting some themes and came across these 7 sources of wisdom.
1. Habari Fun
Andrew Rickmann has thrown together a great guide to convert Wordpress themes over to Habari, based on his port of the Dilectio theme.
2.WP Fun – Theming Habari vs WordPress
There is also a tutorial available for theming at Andrew’s other site. He has created a few themes for Habari and he gives a good headstart to the folks that need one.
3. Habari Project Theme Functions
This page on the Habari Wiki lists common theme functions and how to use them.
Not only just a list of themes created for the platform, but also a portal to a list of developers that have already gone through the process of creating a theme.
5 & 6 Mark Mail & Google Groups for Habari Themes
Message boards used by the Habari community. Still looks active and there are some code examples in the posts.
7. Habari Room in Friendfeed
Pulls in resources from blogs and microblogging sites Twitter and Identica. Most of the good stuff flows through this room and the admins are open to adding new sources they come across.
