Today we have a simple, but nice looking WordPress theme - designed by Ceneb, and ported by myself. This theme has all the normal features of a blog theme here at Theme Lab, including Gravatar support for comments, a widget-ready sidebar, and native WordPress tag support. This theme also 125×125 ad ready, which can be edited through the sidebar.php file.

I’ve been using this theme for the last month now and absolutely love it. Hopefully, I’ll be able to customize the header soon, but other than that, I’m not going to change a thing.

Glad you like the theme. This may be a little late but let me know if you need any help customizing the header, I’ll be happy to help.

That’s a lovely theme. I’m going to download it if it’s OK and try it. I’m starting a new blog and this will give me a very professional look. :)

Nice theme! However, my theme did show only the latest post on each category-page. Don’t know why.. Anyone having the same issue / ideas how to fix it?

Great Writeup. I am using an autoblog for making my own personalized rss reader. Much easier to get information this way. I was using radgeaks plugin and it works great.

I am now using Autoblogged.com and I am really happy with it. I was wondered if it would be worth it and it really has. I am able to much more and the main thing is to be able to modify the template for the produced feeds.

Your site is great. I wonder if places like templateworld etc would want to get their templates transfered to WP?

I love the theme and I am just starting to tweek it. Do you know of a way to make drop downs of sub categories show when you hover over the category tabs?

Thanks!
Kathleen

I love this theme. I have it installed and tweeked. The only problem is I can’t figure out how to add a header. I want to add a custom header to really make this theme pop! Can someone let me know how to add a header and what size the header should be. I just want to add the header between the 2 black sections on the header.

Thanks;
Lisa

Quickie! Can you install this theme on yoursite.wordpress.com or you need separate hosting? Thanks

@Chris
No you can’t use this in wordpress.com unless you pay some money to wordpress.com, which is expensive compare to hosting a self hosted wordpress installation :D

you can use it in self hosted wordpress :D

I really like this theme, but is there any way of adding a header image across the top Instead of having the blank white color?

This is definitely a great theme to have, and I’m now trying to make some minor tweaks to it.

Anyone has the idea on how to replace the title with my own logo?

Thanks for you help in advance :-)
