is it free software? I want to install copy on my server
on Sep 1, 2007
I love the first version of this theme, but this one is even better! I find that it loads much quicker.
I have a few things to do, but I think I’ll probably be making the switch to this version soon.
One question though. Is it possible to change the header and make it a bit bigger. I’d like to add a custom image and the old one seemed to keep everything to one size.
on Sep 2, 2007
Okey Bob, that’s great, I’ll use latest version ;p
on Sep 2, 2007

Thanks for the reply Bob! Now I know what to change.
on Sep 2, 2007
Awesome! I’m using v1 of this theme right now, I might think about converting soon but it seems like a lot of work lol.
on Sep 2, 2007
uiyoo Bob.. jarang pembuat themes nak release theme sendiri guna.. ha ha.. ko mmg rocks la Bob!
on Sep 3, 2007
Hello Bob,
Do you have any plan to port you (very very cool and usefull) theme to sandbox ?
on Sep 3, 2007
Josh @ ok, take ur time
mohdismail @ huhu.. mau tukar ini.. tunggu..
Luc @ ermmm.. thinking.. maybe next, anyway thanks for the ideas.
on Sep 3, 2007

Anyway aku nak guna jugak theme ni. Pas domain aku yang expired tu aku bayar balik la.. Hehe
on Sep 3, 2007
I have switching to this themes..Nice looking..
on Sep 3, 2007
Bob, you freaking cool dude… the only problem I have with the theme is that the [tag][/tag] shows on the mini versions of the entries. How do I fix that?
on Sep 3, 2007
ambsmart @ ok.. jangan sesat lagi.
Ajibxx @ Yes, you rock!
Rell @ great question. may i know how it look?
on Sep 3, 2007
Yea. my site is http://www.newarkvoice.com
on Sep 4, 2007
How can I make on the index page that the old posts don’t get aligned to left or right, instead I need them to look like the first post. Thanks!
on Sep 4, 2007
@ Adrian, just use the old BOB theme.
on Sep 4, 2007
Well that’s not an option since I hardcore modded the actual theme. That’s why I asked for the code:)
on Sep 4, 2007
Let me see your site… I might be able to help
on Sep 4, 2007
also on the bottom, where the short version posts should be, I get only one post. Any idea on how I can display 4 of them ?:)
on Sep 4, 2007
oh and the website is http://www.halomark.biz/ ,silly me:)
on Sep 4, 2007
Adrian @ you will see the index-normal.php file, rename it to index.php.
on Sep 4, 2007
Thanks works like a charm. One more thing though:
on the archives page I don’t know why the menu bar isn’t showing up. I tried to include it like this:
but nothing.
Do you have any ideas?
on Sep 4, 2007
include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/menu.php’)
it seems php is not being parsed here
on Sep 4, 2007
What about me BOB? The issue I’m having with [tag][/tag]??? =)
on Sep 4, 2007
hurray! this is great! i’ll use it
on Sep 4, 2007
@ adrian… how did you get your addthis button to drop down?
on Sep 4, 2007
Alamak dah tuka byk theme yg dulu..tapi theme nih lagi gempak..ish2 confius2..
on Sep 4, 2007
On my blog the recent posts leaves the most recent post off the list and only shows up when I add a new post but then that post isn’t on the list. Please help.
Ryan
on Sep 4, 2007
Also what related post mod do you use?
on Sep 4, 2007
@ Bob or Adrian…. how do I get the http://www.addthis.com button to dropdown like yours?
Also @ Bob, did you figure out the problem yet?
on Sep 5, 2007
Nice theme - will look at it and probably adapt to my use and switch.
on Sep 5, 2007
This is just super cool ! I can now use it on my technology blog . =)
on Sep 5, 2007
Ok, this time you really got me hooked onto your theme designs. The formality and simplicity of it. Marvelous. Keep up the good work. Now I just need the time to update it to my site.
on Sep 5, 2007
hey how did you make sifr to work?
on Sep 5, 2007
i have the first version. but this new version is much better. thanks for the effort.
on Sep 6, 2007
Hi Bob. I tried your theme and I love it. The only thing is, I seem to have broken it when I tweaked the info and other details. When I view single posts the white background is missing.
on Sep 6, 2007
P.S. Also I tried uploading the original files I got from the download, but its still that way on my single posts. It still doesn’t have the white background.
on Sep 7, 2007
Your WP Template looks very good!
Thanks for offering it here ; )
on Sep 7, 2007
Hi Bob, I like the idea having the recent post below the main post. But if I want set to show 3 post then the rest summarised on below, when I press next page, only the “recent post” at the below changed, instead of the 3 main post. Any idea how to change it?
More simple saying is, I want the main post to change when click on previous post/next post instead of the the summarised post below.
on Sep 9, 2007
hi!
i just downloaded your theme and i really like it.
one problem though, sub pages are showing in the main navigation bar, how to remove them? you can take a look at the site http://nursingcrib.com also what are the plugins for this theme?
on Sep 9, 2007
Derek, you have too many ‘Pages’ published, with long titles for the space available. Try using just NCR instead of full names and they should fit properly.
Otherwise, you will have to edit the template to move the “Pages” to a location in the sidebar.
on Sep 11, 2007
I have searched through the code on your template and have found what I need but I don’t have the best php skills. I was wondering how would one go about making 5 top post instead of only 1 and then having the rest show up as the summaries?
What I would like to do is show 5 new posts at the top instead of just the latest.
Thank you in advance.
on Sep 11, 2007
ok. i’ll update the code soon. before that, try look at http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
on Sep 12, 2007
dear bob,
the design is really great. i have one questions. how can i display on the frontsite pictures in the other posts?
on Sep 14, 2007
Have there been any reports of this not rendering properly in the Safari browser
on Sep 14, 2007
@Billy Dennis - may i know the safari version? win or mac?
on Sep 14, 2007
Mac users. I’ve received two complaints from regular readers. I’ve asked them to send me a screen capture.
on Sep 14, 2007
Here is the screen capture.
on Sep 15, 2007
Hey Bob,
I’m getting a blank space under title line of my posts and pages…text and ads show up as they’re supposed to, but not formatted correctly and lined all the way across the page in that space. I didn’t make any mods to that part of the code that I’m aware of…was that way when I first uploaded your code.
Thanks.
Steve

Hi Bob,
I love your theme. Could you please tell me where i can get the fonts that you used in the header?
on Sep 16, 2007
font : http://www.dafont.com/qlassik.font
on Sep 16, 2007
Thank you Bob
on Sep 17, 2007
I think I figured out what’s going on, I just can’t fix it. I’m getting a repeat of the header title area (the black bar) after the first post heading. Do you know how to get rid of that? Thanks.
Here’s the URL: http://www.successful-mindset.com

Steve Young, you appear to have an issue with a tag. Check out this code just above your Adsence ad:
This piece of the code may be causing problems:
Remove the id and that may fix your problem, you may have to remove the entire in order for it to work properly and replace it with . give it a try, but make a backup of your file before making the change.

I had to add quotes ” ” because HTML tags are stripped in this comment section.
on Sep 18, 2007
Steve, I believe I found your problem, but this comment script will not allow HTML tags, so I’ll try to show you a different way.
You seem to have a problem with a tag directly before your Google ads.
Look for the tag id=top enclosed in a p tag.
Reove that, and it should work, but you may need to keep the p tag without the id=top enclosed and without the forward slash.
Make a backup copy of the file and give it a try.

@Will - Thanks for the help. While I have an idea as to what you’re saying, I’m not 100% sure, so I have two questions:
1) can you send me your fix via email: steve@successful-mindset.com, so that way all the tags will be intact.
2) can you let me know which file what you’re referencing is in? Header, index, etc?
Thanks a lot!
Steve
on Sep 21, 2007
@Will - I found the problem in the code when I right-click and ‘view source’ from the actual page loaded up, but I can’t find where it’s doing that in any of the files…the original id=top tag is in the header file, but it doesn’t repeat in the actual file itself…
on Sep 22, 2007
Steve, it should be in your index file. The same file you added your Google Adsense code in. Have a look and see if you can find it there. Directly next to your Adsense code.
on Sep 22, 2007
Hey Will - that’s the problem…the adsense code is being added/controlled by a plugin. I just pick where in the post I want it and it inserts it…the adsense code isn’t hard-coded into the index file. I checked all the files and I can’t figure out why that’s getting inserted…
Bill, any suggestions?
on Sep 23, 2007
Exactly what plug-in are you using? Link if you have one.
on Sep 23, 2007
Hi,
I have a question. I just installed this theme, it looks good, but I wanted to show full posts (no summaries at the bottom). But when I do this I donĀ“t have a “previous posts” link?? how can I fix this?

on Sep 24, 2007
Will @ Thanks Will, help me for some user questions. you rock!

hi bob, just wanted to let you know that i LOVE the theme. i’ve been playing around with it WAY to much yesterday [at work
] but i can’t seem to figure out one thing. maybe you can help?
- the h2 in the sidebars seems to be “overwritten” by something. during the loading-process it shows “my” color [a blue] but once it’s fully loaded, it stays the colors you have in your sidebar header as well [the green, gray and brown]. any idea what in the css is have to change?
thank you so much for the theme and your help!
on Sep 27, 2007
oh one more thing, in the older entries at the bottom it shows the current entry as well. do you know what i did to make that happen? and how can i change the number of older posts it shows in the bottom… thanks so much again!
on Sep 27, 2007
Hi! Just a question.Where i can change this think “Here I’ll share my knowledge, discovery and experience related to my hobby and work. Most articles on this site are related to blog design, short reviews, tips and make money online.” in About me.I try to find but didn’t see where is that
on Sep 27, 2007
update: i figured out some of the probs myself
but the question about the older entries at the bottom i still haven’t figured out. anyone?
