Probably not on the internet. 
But here’s the deal: I’m working on setting up a new site that will merge this site together with WP Stuff, so I can have all plugins and other wp ‘doings’ on one site. Which will make it much easier for you as well.

Precious theme: CSS Play
March 31. 2008
CSS Play is a special made theme for the WordPreciousss theming system, and was written to make it even more easy for anyone to create a basic theme.
The theme comes in two editions: one with just the basic files that will give you a starting point in creating your own theme, and the second with seven skins. These are the very same skins made for WordPreciousss 1.5. The skins edition requires that you use the Precious Skinner edition of WordPreciousss.

With Precious Skinner included: wordpreciousss213-skinner.zip
Note: If you have Precious Skinner activated on your site, you need to deactivate it before using the edition with Precious Skinner included.

WordPreciousss 2.1.2, support forum and ideas for the future
March 13. 2008
First things first: If you need help with WordPreciousss there’s now a support forum you can use.
And then over to new release: Version 2.1.2 of WordPreciousss is an update to make it play a little better with WordPress 2.5 and fixing some minor bugs.
Download: wordpreciousss212.zip
There’s one big change from version 2.1.1: I’ve removed the extra plugins “Precious Widgets” and “Precious Skinner”, together with the skins previously found in the default theme.
This is to make the base a bit lighter, as there is no point in having files, plugins etc. in your WordPress or WPMU installation you actually don’t use.
Other changes:
- New template tag:
precious_comment_gravatar: this uses the new WordPress template tagget_avatarif you use WordPreciousss with WP 2.5, on older WP version it will use the old gravatar code used in previous versions of WordPreciousss. - Renamed the template /pagetlp/search.php to sitesearch.php. The old one didn’t play along well with WPMU
- In WPMU any file added to mu-plugins/wordpreciousss/ will load as sitewide plugins.
- Depricated the template tag load_precious_themedomain. header.php in theme-base has been edited to reflect this change.
The next release of WordPreciousss will probably be version 3.0 - I’m hoping to get this ready by the end of April (this year ).

- theme-base are now protected by a .htaccess file, - you can use this to protect your “myown” directory as well, if you have one.

WordPreciousss 2.1 - it’s a plugin!
January 25. 2008
WordPreciousss is now plugin and not a theme.
Download and install instructions
Why making it a plugin?
This way you don’t have to keep a theme on your blog that you don’t use. And I also wanted the whole system to work better with WordPressMU.

WordPreciousss 2.0
January 15. 2008
Yet another new release of WordPreciousss and now we’re talking version 2.0.
Download: wordpreciousss.zip
This version works a little different than the previous release as I’ve added in better support for “Child Themes”.
This is a feature with WordPress: You can just create a theme using style.css and then use the template files of another theme, by adding Template:themefolder in the top of your style.css.
But with normal theme you can’t add your own template files if your do this, so this is a thing I’ve worked on to “fix” with WordPreciousss 2.0.

Feedtrouble
December 29. 2007
It’s been some trouble with the feed on this site, I actually upgraded to 2.3.2 RC1 to see if it was fixed, but no.
So I created a Feedburner feed instead, so for anyone who wants updates, use that instead:
WordPreciousss 1.5
December 29. 2007
Well, it’s been one and half month since last update and version 1.5 has a lot of changes and bugfixing.
Download: wordpreciousss.zip
Upgrading:
This is a upgrade you have to do with ftp and not the built in function under the precious extra tab.
- Unzip the package on your computer
- Log on to your blog using ftp and go to wp-content/themes/precious/ and delete page.php, single.php and your tlp directory
- Now go to wp-content/themes/ and upload the entire precious folder
- You’re done!
WordPreciousss 1.4
November 12. 2007
Well, yet another update on WordPreciousss and we’re now writing version 1.4.
I’ve improved the upload features in this version, so you now can install and delete skins, plugs and even upgrade WordPreciousss from the Precious Extra Tab.
The new code is based on the WUPE plugin, and WordPreciousss will check if you have the plugin activated and give you the link to the WUPE manage page if it is.
I’ve done it like this to make sure the two codes don’t conflict with each other, because you can use WUPE instead, you just need to get the upload paths right.
