Pears ⇥

Dan Cederholm has created a public tool to exchange common patterns in markup, especially with regard to WordPress themes. As he explains:

I wanted to create my own database repository of commonly used patterns and figured the tool might be useful for others as well. Breaking interfaces down into patterns has been immensely helpful in learning and reevaluating the best possible code to implement them. I’ve just gotten started and will be adding more as I create them.

But Pears isn’t about how I code these patterns—it’s a tool for creating your own.

Very clever. I should probably rebuild this theme using markup that conforms to pesky patterns and what I hear are “best practices”.
