I decided it is time for a new theme, I was using the same on that John Chow was using. Mistylook was a great theme and just when I was about to customize mine by making it blue, John beat me to it!! I really liked it a lot, it was professional looking and clean but I wanted to be different - especially since I use a lot of the same plugins as John.
So, I saw Rockin Blue 3, by Cory Miller on the ‘Net and fell in love - it’s blue (my favorite color!). It’s a three column theme that allows me to add more plugins in the sidebars. I have added a lot of little customizations (that I’m sure only Cory would notice). There is a ton of info now, and I don’t know if it looks too cluttered…
I have also added two new plugins (which John turned me onto). One is WP-PostViews and the other is WP-Print. Both are from Lester Chan.
WP-PostViews allows me to show off how many times a post has been viewed, which I put at the bottom of each post and in the sidebar.
WP-Print lets the users print posts without any CSS or sidebars attached!
What do you guys and gals think? Comments?!
Saman, love the tweaks! Rock on!
Thank you for the great theme Cory!
For the tweaks, I made the menu bar a little taller and added the Feed area. I also changed the hue of blue of the fades in the sidebars.
I changed the way the categories for each post is displayed and moved around some other stuff! Thats all I can remember right now…
Like the new theme. in the words on meatwad, “You do your job good!”
Thanks Nathan, I think this quote from Carl is more appropriate:
Hello Ladies, say hello to Goliath. We had to order special elastic pants for him on the internet.
Surely there should a link at the bottom to the theme designer?
Oh man - you’re right!
I must have copied over it, when I added info from my last theme!
Thanks for the sharp eye Armen!
No probs!
I wouldn’t have bothered saying probably, only I respect Cory and his work as a blogger and I believe that credit should be given where it’s due.
Anyway…keep up with the blogging - I’m pretty new to it too!
I could agree more, I totally believe in giving credit where it’s do!
Especially because there is a MySpace user who stole some content from me!
