Maybe its a good idea to just have thumb and crucial data instead of lot of text to make space for more themes…
Also please release my themes too 🙂
Is it a good idea to have more than the name of the blog and perhaps an image in the header? I notice that more feed icons and search boxes are appearing in headers. I understood that this kind of behaviour was not liked by search engines.
The first is good.
hai john, “I understood that this kind of behaviour was not liked by search engines.”
i dont know about this, mind to share with me/us?
Theme releases are getting worse these days.
Hi,
We’re looking for some cool template/theme for our bollywood video weblog.
Any suggestions. The current one doesn’t have columns when we’re on a particular page or video. So, the page impression reduces terribly.
Please suggest me if anyone know related theme.
Thanks.

Is your Theme Internationalized? I use Gengo and can switch languages on the fly but 99% of Themes and Plugins are not made to be translated.
Let me know and I,ll grad your Themes because they look great!
I’m sure someone already commented, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for including thumbs of hte themes as well. Life is too short to click links to new themes, but thumbnails give a good sense of what kind of theme it is (i.e. magazine v. blog) which makes it worth clicking on types you need.
Well I downloaded five themes including this “Blue Dream”. I mailed to my webmaster as he is my partner also. He has better knowledge about programming, seo and other related things, so he will make a decision out of five which to upload.
what is the method you are using for checking “valid css” ? I found no css error with the Blue Lilly theme.
Thanks
