Let me say it for the millionth time “content is king” and we all know that, don’t we?
Since content is the most important part of a site, your WordPress powered theme must emphasis on its presentation. Most cookie cutter themes come with a post list that runs based on the time your posts were published, in other words a chronological list of posts irrespective of its importance. Let’s face it, not all posts are created equal. Some posts are special, some are important and then some not quite so. Why then should all posts get the same treatment?
Magazine styled themes do a fine job of addressing this by introducing the featured …

I am back from my “much needed” vacation. I managed to survive with less than 2 hours of Internet access per day and making just one theme (which will be released tonight) in the last three weeks. I think I also managed to piss off two of my big clients and numerous others by my lack of response but that I am sure its forgivable considering I was out town!
There is a consensus within our team that since we do not have the luxury of time to blog each day, we will revamp this site to make it more business-centric and less bloggy, not sure how the new site will look but I …

Just released a 3 column version of Praca, a theme based in part on Blix and Blix Redux. This theme is widget ready, but works well just as is. The 3 column provides ample room to sort the navigation components and advertisements.

I consider myself a remix designer, if you know what I mean, like musicians who take an old tune and makes it more catchy! Here’s Blix Redux, from the name it is quite obvious that the back end is “Blix” theme, colored and adopted to suit new blogging needs. And just like before, I used my wife’s painting as the header picture! We got some Search Engine Optimization tips from Etrix. Check it out.
