Here we go again. Hopefully, for the very last time!
It seems, I’ve finally found that very theme with the set of all the functions desired. Not more and not less. Let me introduce you to the Dyna Blue theme, which is free and distributed by WebDesignLessons.com.
It’s a visually appealing theme, with a feature I was searching for a long time. I’m talking about the ‘Featured’ section right at the top, where you can see some selected articles. Also, there is a block of ads (probably empty right now), where I can advertise with Google AdSense, or with any other program. There is also a banner space at the very top, it’s empty right now, but I’ll find a way to fill it with some appropriate information.
To say no more, I just also wanted to mention, that this shift was made possible by the newest 2.8 version of WordPress. One of the new functions is precisely the one, that allows to add new themes very easily, just like you’re installing a new plug-in!

Why is it always so hard to get yourself to stick to a particular visual presentation? Not a month has passed by since I’ve installed my current WP theme, and now I’m looking forward to a new theme!
To be honest, the current one, Erudit, is very nice done and has all the features I need. It is visually simple but stylish, and the posts’ organization is thought through quite well… The only ‘bug’ I’m very dissatisfied with is that on Mac’s Safari (both for Windows and Mac OS) the CSS is not correctly handling the first letter of the post (it supposed to be big and on a special background), and it’s a little bit skewed up. This doesn’t make it unreadable, it’s just not looking right.
Besides, a new theme is on horizon, and this time I’m going to make some changes to it. What theme, what changes? You’ll see. Soon.

I think I’ve finally found the right theme for this blog! I’ve always been looking for a simple, not overweight, visually appealing design. Today’s New WordPress Themes section presented one with most of the qualities I value!
The theme is called ‘The Erudite’ by Soma Design, and it’s developed for writers. I like most of the features, especially that it focuses on the latest post, while previewing others. I’ll tweak a few minor things here and there, add a custom header image, but even now it fits my blog just fine!
