Wordpress Theme - Xplosive
Written by Jai on November 26, 2007 – 11:20 pm - 30,163 viewsKABOOM! Yes…… I have named this new theme as Xplosive and it will surely blow you away! You can consider it as one of the best Wordpress themes released on our website. It is a fully XHTML complaint, Web 2.0 theme meant for modern bloggers. If you are a blogger who likes to go with the times, this is for you!! Xplosive has two sidebars (both on the right side as requested by many here) and has a very pro look to it. It comes with a Blue-Orange color schema.
Edit : Reduced the width of the theme to fit into 1024×768 resolution.

on Dec 2, 2007
Hey jai! thnx for all the great themes you share with us. I always love it when you release a new theme.
I love it that you gave us different empty headers, but I was just wondering what type of font you have used for the header of this theme!
Keep up the great work

Hi Jai,
Thank you for the theme but the RSS feed picture is unavailable on mysite brianandeve.com. Mind to take a look and let me know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Brian
on Dec 14, 2007
@brian: Which RSS picture are you talking about? I can see everything normal.
on Dec 14, 2007
Hi Jai,
Sorry about that. I think it is due to a delay in my hosting provider. They are fine now! THanks again.

Hi, I’m having a lot of errors with this theme. O can’t seem to get it to work! My home page only shows the first half of my post and it’s supposed to have 10 to a page. Also, the ONLY page that seems to be working right is the About US page!

hi, i ve a question about xplosive project
i must to insert an header in flash
so….where i can insert my swf code?
pleaseeee
on Jun 11, 2008
Jai…I really like Explosive. I have looked at hundreds of WP Themes in the last couple of days, and I think it is my favorite. (I also like it better than Explosive Reloaded).
One HUGE problem though. I assumed when I loaded up your theme that it would swap out the name of my blog in place of the word “Explosive.” Instead, I still have “EXPLOSIVE” across the top of the page. Unfortunately, that’s not the name of my blog.
I am tooling around in the files, and I see your note that I need to Photoshop a new header? I don’t have Photoshop or know how to use it. That’s the whole idea of Wordpress Themes, right — is that I DON’T have to be a graphic designer to use them.
Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to give my Explosive-themed blog ITS OWN NAME — and not lose the beauty of your header design?
on Jun 11, 2008
@Terry : Maybe you should check this link :-
http://www.blogohblog.com/head.....-xplosive/
on Jun 11, 2008
OK, Jai. This is very frustrating. I read the post you referred me to, and I have tried to follow your instructions.
(1) First I looked into modifying a header using Fireworks. However, it looks like Fireworks costs $300! Can’t afford it — and don’t know how to use it.
(2) So, I tried modifying my “css” and “header” files as you suggested. I’m not a web designer, but I gave it a shot. I inserted the commands you specified. I ended up with the name of my blog on the navigation bar — not in the header.
I really want to use your theme, Jai. Please tell me how to do it. Thanks.
on Jun 11, 2008
@Terry : Please download the blank header file from the link that I gave you (whatever color suits you the best) , edit it and then replace the existing header file.
For editing, you don’t really need to use fireworks. You can make changes by opening the image in any image editor. Even MS Paint.
on Jun 11, 2008
Jai: I must be the worst graphic designer in the world. Actually, I am not a graphic designer at all — that’s why I use Wordpress and Wordpress themes.
Anyway — I did download the blank headers, and I did find the Paint program, and I have tried — for HOURS now — to add my blog’s name and description line to that blank header.
I have figured out how to add the text — how to change the font and the size — and position it where I want it. But there is one huge glitch I can’t get past no matter what I try.
I keep selecting WHITE as the color of my text, but it keeps appearing as a shade of blue, just like the color of the Aqua header I am using. I can’t make that text white no matter what I do.

Hi, Jai.
The following:
Use this excellent template, which he edited a bit.
But I have a question: how to enlarge the size of the workforce, so that you will find full size?
(use Firefox)
Thank you, greetings
