This time, I decided to try the beta version on my blog. I am using it on a live blog, ( not this one ). It should be interesting right ? checking for bugs and reporting them ? … I am new to this, so not quite sure, what, when, where and how etc. Will keep you all updated. !!
Theme Updates
Now, something about this theme and blog. I removed the flickr part on the footer of the blog. Added tags to each post. Now, I need to make this theme Gravatar compatible. I am yet to finish the about me page and yes, the header image is still blank. Is it annoying guys ?. I am not a good designer, so you will have to wait until I do something about it !! Any new comments or suggestions about the theme ?
