Dig this Moodle 2.0 theme at University of New England (AUS)
The University of New England in Armidale, Australia adopted Moodle back in August and opted to jump right to Moodle 2.0. Their contractor, Netspot, has the site up already and Myles Carrick (@mylescarrick) has created a very nice theme; you can see it by going to http://moodle.une.edu.au/. It's nice to see a few Moodle 2.0 sites popping up [...]
Ask Mr. Moodle: Is the Attendance module default in Moodle 2.0?
This question was submitted through the Moodlenews contact us page, Do you know if Moodle 2.0 will have a built in attendance block? If not, I wonder why this is not standard on Moodle. Interesting question; the module being asked about, is of course the Attendance Module and Block . From my experience testing Moodle 2.0 and a quick review of [...]
A preview of the 15+ standard themes included in Moodle 2.0
The Moodle 2.0 theme set that's included with the core code has grown tremendously and is a far cry from the "Metal" and "Wood" mainstays of 1.9 and previous. These really are some class act themes and a lot of the credit is due to Patrick Malley (@ptrkmkl) of New School Learning who rebuilt the Moodle theme engine, provided a 1st glimpse at [...]
New Moodle 2.0 theme: Broad Study
Sleek and minimalist, this theme for 2.0 doesn't seem to take advantage of the navigation block. So despite it's development for 2.0, installing this theme, Broad Study, will give your site a clean, traditional Moodle styling with a custom horizontal menu. The theme was written/submitted by Linda Wang/99template.com. Download it for 2.x at [...]

Shared via Twitter by @ModuleMsystem and available on their blog here's a snapshot of a Moodle 2.0 theme under development for the University of St. Andrews . Looks pretty good to me!

Cool spartan theme for Moodle 2.0 at the “Mt. Orange School”
The official Moodle demo site has a pretty slick new theme (featuring drop-down menus and a spartan, but really sharp color scheme). Check it out! http://school.demo.moodle.net/ while I'm not sure what theme it is specifically, but you might accomplish something similar using the Creatif theme with a white custom background (or no [...]
Moodle Past, Present and Future (Martin’s Educause Interview)
Michael Feldstein (http://mfeldstein.com/@mfeldstein67) posted a high quality video interview of Martin Dougiamas filmed at Educause 2010 last week. The interview itself is about 40 minutes and covers all aspects of Moodle (history, present activities and future goals). Being immersed daily in Moodle news it was interesting to hear about [...]
Opinion: Moodle 2.0 Message Inbox (room for improvement)
When you received a message in Moodle (versions 1.9.9 and previous) there was a window popup which listed incoming direct messages (user to user). It wasn't pretty, but it was succinct and manageable: providing an easy way to respond to users and to see new messages. With it's inherent connectivity to email it was less important (since it [...]
