New Theme

Aug 22nd, 2008 by papabear

I was having a few technical problems with my previous Forte theme and getting help to resolve those problems was not that easy. The main reason was that the Forte theme was heavily coded and it was rather difficult for me, who has very little knowledge on PHP to figure out how certain things work. I had spent days to get certain parts of the theme to work the way I wanted it to work and still there are others that I just could not figure out.

So, I decided to look around for a simpler theme that allows me to easily tweak it with the little PHP skills that I have and I came upon Word Press’d from Blog2Life.

It is a clean, open, uncluttered, visually appealing and the part that I like best, very quick loading theme. The coding is simple and lots of notes in the PHP for guidance. While it took me days to set my blog in Forte, it took only a few hours to configure Word Press’d.

I maintained most of the plugins from the previous theme and added a few new ones since it was easy to configure those plugins under this theme. May be when I have the time, I will blog about the plugins that I am using on my blog.

Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What looks good to me does not necessarily looks the same to others. Feel free to let me know what you think of this new theme.
