I’ve been using my Applopress theme for couple of months and I felt like my site is more look like gadget site. And I decided to create new theme for myself in last two months. I got help from my brother and he told me about layout and what colors to use in my site but he still prefer me to use the old one. What changes you’ll see in my new theme.
Old theme

New theme

I’m still prefer to use three columns for my site.
Footer Section

I move about me, some blog and site links to footer. Those links will be change frequently.
Thumbnail posts
![]()
Yes, I made all the posts in excerpt and put thumbnail for each post. I think that can speed up blog loading time and bring more pageviews for my site.
Photo post

Photo post will be shown in full size.
Photo page

I made photo page that has collection of photos I posted here. Right now, you’ll see only two photos in my site. I’ll try to update as much as I can. Sorry, this snap is from my local ;)
Comments section

I used gravatars in comment.
Separated Trackbacks/Pingbacks

I separated trackbacks from comments section. I think that visitor can quickly scan the conversations from comments.
What else?
I’m still experimenting on this theme. And I have plan to release it theme into different versions like widget compatible, two columns, three columns and custom. Any suggestions/comments are welcome.
By the way, this post is 100th post of this blog.
Icon credits: I used all the icons from famfamfam’s silk icons for this theme.

I like the new theme and I am a big fan of Wordpress and Drupal for blogging and content management. Great work!
Excellent Job! The theme is really looking good. The footer complements the other parts of the site well.
I’m using Blogger and there is something wrong with template of one of my blog The Muzic World as Archive link is coming only on homepage.
I’ll try your template Memory Of Random Thoughts as it’s containing 3 columns.
Please try to add few more templates.
Thanks.
