Wordpress Theme Shopcoholic

20 Aug

Maybe you are wondering why I always change my theme from time to time but I will confess that I’m just like any typical girl I love shopping. I love the thrills of scouting quality goods on sale, but what if it’s free? Then it’s better, the WordPress community is filled with talented designers offering not only free but fantastic themes.

So what are the criteria for a non techie like me to look in a theme.

1. Clean and simple.

2. Easy to install.

3. No need to change any code whatsoever except of course the header to suit my taste.

4. Can be viewed in explorer, safari and Mozilla Firefox.

5. It supports widgets and conforms to the latest version of WordPress.

6. And most of all it should be free.

It’s over a year ago that I started to blog and I tried to install a couple of fantastic few but my problem is that I’m a just an end user without knowledge of tweaking I always end up messing up my site. Thanks to my Inweb Hotel who always helpful when I encounter problem in my sites. I remember when I upgraded to WordPress 2.8 last June my site went berserk, I can’t post images and link did not worked and some of my readers said that the feed doesn’t worked. I used a few themes that I really like but I got bored or I encountered problems with it then I, the perpetual shopaholic go out in the world wide web and shop. It’s like window shopping and trying it on then decide what I should use.
Then I encountered templatelite.com which own by Brian and he’s so talented and I found 2 themes that i like. I’m not so wild with scrapping, flowers, ribbons or anything that’s so girlish. (I think I’m a man lol) . But Brian makes it so nice and tone down so I first tried papercraft shown below and wow I’m impressed it was easy and clean but I need to change the little girl since I’m a Filipina and it will take hours with my beginner’s knowledge of Photoshop . But you download the psd file with a fee then you are able to tweak it the way you want it. But I can’t afford that because I’m just a student and this blog doesn’t earn anything yet so I have to find another theme.

Now, The Filipinamom in Denmark is wearing this coffe desk theme which I think it’s perfect because right now I’m sitting in my oak table with coffee, my laptop, my organizer (yes they call it calendar in Danish and its a must) and a pen though not a Montblanc. This is still a personal blog so it fits I just need to change the font in the header then its done.

This is not a paid review or anything but this is just appreciation of people in the worldpress community who offers free themes and tips which spent several hours and hard work. I once encountered a post about thankless community so I wanted to thank wordpress for giving us this wonderful and powerful blog platform and all those who offer their themes and plugins for free.

Thank you Brian and you can visit his site at http://www.templatelite.com/ and avail of his nice and wonderful themes.

    Hi Ana, thank you for visiting my site.

    I’m a fan of templatelite. I just discovered their site this month and I was surprised to see lots of beautiful WP themes for free. I like this Coffee Desk theme that you’re using pati yung Beach Holiday, Watercolor, Letter Frame, ang dami kong dinownload!
