Orange consists of a fluid three column outfit, with widgetized sidebars and footer columns, built in are recent comments with gravatars, related posts, social bookmarking enabled and Flickr is enabled in the themes options panel.
Emphasis is the newest WordPress theme release from Jasonetics. It is a very simple theme, with subtle colors. The posts are bordered with a very light grey, and the links are green and hover orange. This theme is called emphasis because almost all of the focus is on the content and posts.
Three column, widget ready, gravatar ready theme with ability to post images to index page automatically
all these light colored themes suck, is there a dark colored theme similar to the theme I have on my blog, that is widget ready and 2.6 compatible? I’m looking for an overhaul on mine, but I don’t know how to do the coding anymore.
and actually I’m not even sure if I want to go widget or not, because some of my sidebar.php items are customized, that aren’t plugins, thas the only reason I haven’t switched to the widget system yet.
I like Helium the best out of the selection. Also, thanks for choosing that particular theme too, because Jungle Jar looks like a decent WordPress blog either way.
Helium is probably my top pick from this batch. Emphasis is probably good if you need a minimalistic theme, and would definitely look slick if it had a dark version to compliment it.
Orange seems like a stretch. No real structure to it … kinda feels like it was thrown together. Just my opinion.
Helium is a nice looking theme. I’m actually already using it on a couple of blogs. I’ll check out the others two.
Great selections this round! I like the mix of minimalist (Emphasis), journal (Helium) and avant-garde (Orange). Not sure what Rice means by “thrown together”. Orange is very structured and offers finely-tuned widgets that other theme designers don’t deliver. The design dovetails nicely with her other themes, and the fall colors make it a great seasonal option for bloggers who use her other fluid three-column themes.
