Is 3 better than 2 ? hmm confused ? I am talking about wordpress themes. Is 3 column theme better than 2 column theme or the other way around ?
You know that I am playing with copyblogger theme these days ….. and I am asking myself, is 3 column or 2 column, the better layout ?
I don’t have an answer yet, but I know that I love 3 column layouts. ( I was looking for 3 column version of the copyblogger theme, and finally found it here )
Self Hosted WordPress How to : Themes
October 7th, 2008 — blogging, hosting, Wordpress Themes
So, thinking about moving to “self hosted wordpress blog” ? learn how to find, upload and edit your themes
There are tonnes of themes available for you to download. Most of them are free. They are free themes way better than some paid ( or premium themes ). So, think twice ( or more than that ) before you purchase a paid theme.
The best way, will be to google a little. Try Google or you can go to WordPress’ Official Website. Also, there are brilliant theme designers, with themes that will fall in love with. Here is one of my favorites, pearsonified.com
ps: I will keep updating you guys about beautiful themes that I find during my theme hunts, so subscribe to the RSS feed, for more
A lovely WordPress Theme with 2 Colors.
September 25th, 2008 — blogging, me, Wordpress Themes
Who said you can’t make good wordpress themes or web designs with simple colors ( and without images ? ) If someone told you so, let them visit this blog.
Colors used : Light Sky Blue, and Black. Yes, thats it !!! Images ? Only their logo and a simple one for twitter.. and there you go … a new design !! Good job Amy Mahon !!!
Another beautiful thing about this design is the font used for post titles. It looks really good. Anyone know the css code for it ? just curious … ( yea yea, just curious I say, you tell me the code, and the next day you will see the font here lol )
Another Post on CSS and Design ?
Addicted to Thesis
July 24th, 2008 — blogging, me
Thesis ? ….. Ok, I know… that is what you are going to ask me…. right ? Okay, it is a WordPress theme … or rather, a premium ( paid ) wordpress theme. If it was a free theme …. you know me very well right ? ( if you do not know … I keep changing my themes .. I change whenever I find a good theme ).
See what it’s author says
I built the Thesis Theme because I wanted a framework that had it all—killer typography, a dynamically resizable layout, intelligent code, airtight optimization, and tons of flexibility. Now, after months of field testing, I’m confident enough to offer it to those of you who have come to expect nothing but the finest themes from me.
WordPress Theme Directory : Now Live !!
July 18th, 2008 — blogging
After releasing WordPress 2.6 one month ahead of the schedule, here is another cool new update from WordPress. A theme directory, where you can browse, rate, preview and download themes from. ( Please note that this is only for self hosted WordPress Blogs. )
Why is it important ?
It is important because there is nothing of this sort available elsewhere. Its important because, we really need something like this on WordPress.
There are thousands of WordPress themes available. Theme developers have their own download sites, preview blogs and rating options. Even though themes.wordpress.net is there, it is not functional at the moment.
How does it Work ?
Blogging in Indic Languages, do you ?
I have started blogging in Malayalam too !!
I find reading Malayalam blogs more interesting than actually writing blogs in Malayalam…. may be because I am not used to writing Malayalam online using the transliteration and similar stuff, where we write words using English letters which will be changed to the desired language automatically.
When I started reading Malayalam blogs, I found that most of them use Blogger.com since they have the transliteration feature, a feature which makes blogging in Indic languages really easy. Why don’t they just use WordPress.org or WordPress.com ? We really need more people start using WordPress, to blog in Indic languages. Don’t you think so ?
Initially I started with Blogger itself, and then started copying the content to WordPress and it worked perfect. Just that I typed everything using Blogger.com and then published it using WordPress.org blog on this domain itself. ( sssh … secret .. I have another installation of WordPress on this domain where I play with themes and now Malayalam Blogging )
If you install certain softwares, which enables transliteration on your computer, you can directly blog in Indic languages, using WordPress platform. So I installed “Keyman” and started writing to WordPress blog directly, in Malayalam.
