Another New Theme

Well I am someone who is always open to change. Nothing is more easy to change than a website, whether it’s a new feature or just a complete redesign. I tend to just start over (not really, but I heavily modify my old theme) which is why I have made a new theme. I thought my previous theme, Blank, was the minimal as it gets however this new theme is just so basic and simple, something I like yet so easy to look at if that makes sense.

I don’t know if I am gonna make it a free download anytime soon but  I am gonna create a portfolio page, showcasing my themes and sites I have developed over the last 2 years. Why the sudden change from a video oriented site to a portfolio you might ask? Well I want to become a freelance web designer on the holidays to make some fast cash which will hopefully ease my study load during Uni and I think a site like what I am thinking will seal the deal when it comes to getting some clients.

So perhaps in a few months I’ll release all my themes for download. Stay tuned!

P.S. The new theme is called Turbo which, by the way, means ‘fast’ in latin.

Blank

The basic goal of the theme was to make it a light coloured, shades of grey type theme with a minimalistic touch.

Some cool features are as follows:

  • Toggle the side bar; For those smaller browsers
  • About Section; Located in the footer. Can include a personal photo if you wish with acompanying text
  • Separated Trackbacks and Comments
  • Stylized Comment sections; Speech bubble type style
  • Customizable Banner; Defaults to Text of Blog Heading
  • Built in Widgets; Latest Posts, Archives and Categories. Can be turned off too
  • Custom Title input; Change the thing at the top of the browser
  • Valid (x)html (Strict) and Valid CSS 2.1/3 (More towards CSS3 though)
  • And last but not least, a fluid layout.

To do list:

  • Comment Pagination
  • Dropdown Menus for top Navigation
  • Threaded Comments
  • Equal-Heights-Thingy for the footer

Most of those things however, aren’t too important anyway. But I’ll try and knock them off slowly. If you think I should do something more, then suggest it but keep in mind this is a lighweight, basic theme.

It will be released very soon. I just have to test out some stuff and clean up the CSS.
