Web 2 Wannabe WordPress Theme

Published at November 30, 2006 in Left Sidebar and Two Column. 0 Comments

I came across this theme today from LiewCF. I had seen this theme a few weeks ago and was on the fence about it. Looking at it again, I like it.

Demo:

Why it Doesn't Suck:
Even though it is a dark theme, the contrast and "blackspace" is enough to make it easy to read and navigate. The glass design elements don't overpower the content.

K2 v0.9.1 WordPress Theme

Published at November 29, 2006 in Business, Two Column and Widget Ready. 0 Comments

K2 is the theme we've chosen for this blog since it looks nice, is easy to manage, and makes use of sidebar modules/widgets.

Screenshot:

Demo:
Check out the K2 site.

Why it doesn't suck:
Out of the box, this is a nice looking, clean theme with easy to use options in the control panel. You likely won't need to edit any theme files to configure this theme to your liking.

Tips:
If you use (or want to use) the Sidebar Modules plugin, install that first and it will replace the K2 Sidebar Modules in the theme menu. This way, your sidebar modules will work among all your themes that support widgets. 

Details and download:
Go to getk2.com to view all the features and download.
