This is It.
I’m loving the current blog theme - it’s called Modern, and the minute I saw it, I fell in love with it - it was exactly what I’d been looking for.
Thanks to Andie Summerkiss for sending me those brilliantly clean and simple minimalist Wordpress themes - you’re my new hero!
Now, the plus and minus about this theme:
+ It’s clean
+ It’s got big fonts for the postings, and small fonts for the sidebar
+ It’s unique and slightly abstract
+ People will either love it or hate it - just like Durian. And Rima says I’m like the fruit. So there you go.
And the minus:
- It’s not widget ready, so I have to add the widgets on the sidebar manually. As in, adding codes that I’m not familiar with. Like, CSS, HTML or whatever the hell it is.
- Which forces me to have an overnight crash course in coding, which can probably put as a plus, but I’m too tired to get into that now.
- I had to trawl the entire world wide web looking for codes to allow adding stuff like Recent Comments and Recent Post, drop down Archives menu, Tag categories etc’, - mad. They should come automatically with the theme.
Conclusion:
I’m loving the theme and I don’t care what people think - I ain’t changing it!
Back to Hiatus now.

LOL I was considering this theme for about 30 minutes before moving on to another one. Now I can’t remember why …
I am sending you something I found about widgetizing the theme. I never use it myself but it could get you started. I think non widget is fine, you did great..

Good to see that you are pleasing ourself, rather than us cyber critics. It really is about you and the content. Only us shallow batik lovers worry about colours etc etc.

Love this!
I’m moving to wordpress as well, but with bloody dial up connection I’m having, I must wait until I’m back to UK. Can’t wait to use the logo header (*cough)

Do you still needs any help for choosing the template?
July 26th, 2008 at 6:00 am
look at this…
its Rima who found it but how do you think?
July 26th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
i love wordpress too. it’s easy to be managed. there’s many of free CMS out there, like joomla, mambo, but it’s a little more difficult to be managed.
anyway, it’s a nice template.
so, this what woelank’s said in silly’s weblog huh?
>>> ‘lagi ada emak2 berkelas yang les private nginstall wordpress ampe masang theme segala…’

I was searching for Blogs about Wedding Invitations Templates and found this site. I am interested in your content and appreciate sites like this.

I use Modern too, and have had no luck trying to piece in the code to widgetize the sidebar. I’ve read a million tutorials and nothing seems to work. Any tips?
