I’ve gone back to basics with this one. I wanted something simple and elegant to serve as a basic blog template and I think I’ve accomplished that with this theme. I hope you like it as much as I do.

It’s a very clean 2 Column theme with one sidebar on the left side, widget-ready fixed width theme sporting a basic elegance featuring pretty mauve and pinkish colors. It has an author info page, gravatars and author box along with Custom Archives, Sitemap and full width No Sidebars page templates. Tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE6 and IE7. Compatible up to WordPress 2.7. And yes, it’s valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 right out of the box.

A bit of a more sophisticated theme, at least for me. I gave more attention to the graphics on this theme than I have on the others. It’s a 3 Column, widget-ready fixed width theme featuring an extended footer (non-widgetized), author info page, gravatars and highlighted author comments in the comments section along with Custom Archives, Sitemap and full width No Sidebars page templates. Tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE6 and IE7. As always, it’s valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 right out of the box and also fully compatible up to WordPress 2.7.

I have to say that this theme is my most favorite of all of them. It was inspired by a site I saw somewhere on the net (sorry I don’t remember where). But yeah, it’s a great theme! In fact I like it so much i’m using it here on this site.

Now on to the particulars…it’s a 5 Column (main content, 2 sidebars and 2 top sections), widget-ready fixed width theme in soothing Creme and Brown colors featuring an author box, author info page, gravatars and highlighted author comments in the comments section along with Custom Archives, Sitemap and full width No Sidebars page templates. Tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE6 and IE7. It’s read for the new WordPress 2.7 comment threading feature while still being compatible with older versions. And of course it’s valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 right out of the box.

My third theme, Surreal Reality. This one is a 4 column split-sidebar, widget-ready theme in soothing Cream and Green colors. There are 2 sidebars on the left and 1 on the right. My first attempt at fluid width that holds the layout down to 800px. Features an author box, author info page, gravatars and highlighted author comments in the comments section along with custom Archives, Sitemap and full width No Sidebars page templates. Tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE6 and IE7. And as with all my themes it’s valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 out of the box.

My second WordPress theme and it’s a little bit more ambitious. It features 3 sidebars – two on the right and one in the main area under the posts, and author box along with the customized Archives, Sitemap and Author pages. There is also a section above the sidebars for info of any kind. It comes ready to show either your own custom text or author information, be sure to read the README file for instructions on how to use this box.

It’s been tested in Firefox, IE, Safari and Opera and is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1.

This is my first attempt at creating a WordPress theme from scratch (with the help of the WP Codex and the many tutorials that are out there). And so it is called, appropriately enough…Maiden Voyage.

It’s a simple 2 column affair with cheerful Springtime colors and is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1. It’s widget ready with support for Gravatars and Related Posts built in. It also has customized Archives, Sitemap and Author pages. Tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE6 and IE7.

Now on to finish my next one!
