Do you like this post?

When I was on blogger platform, I designed various templates for blogspot blogs. One of them was FreshBrown. This template got huge popularity and it was loved by all of my blogger friends. This template even got 4200+ downloads at btemplates. I was planning to design a wordpress theme for a long time after moving to wordpress. So, finally I converted this template to wordpress theme.

Why there are two “home” and “about” pages in navbar?

Pages are not two but links are two. You can edit the coding in any navigation bar to put your own links.

Dude I have seen you keep on changing your theme regularly. That’s not good for your blog. Keep one unique theme and change it after long time and not after a small interval.

These sites only helps you in learning the basic html and css tags. But if you really want to be an expert then you have to practice a lot with html templates.

Did you craft up this theme from scratch or you used some software like artisteer or something. I’ve been planning to study theme making for sometime but never really gotten to do it. I hope I’d be able to cough up my very first wp theme this year.

Really like the theme, but am encountering a error when I try to update posts, or make any alterations to the template:

No – sorry, it’s still breaking for me – and to be sure I did a fresh wordpress install with no plug-ins. Still the same errors.

Hi, I tried your theme in my blog, but for some reason, in IE8 (windows 7) and Opera, the sidebar goes to bottom.

Can you help me to fix the problem ?

Simrandeep January 18, 2010 at 11:32 am

Let me check it first

Leo January 18, 2010 at 3:14 pm

Ok. My site is http://www.simpatias.org

With theme without modifications, the same happen. Try access some post:

http://www.simpatias.org/2010/01/01/simpatias-especiais-com-romas-para-o-dia-de-reis-06-de-janeiro-2/

I have changed in styles.css the value of #nav-wrap1 -> width, from 110 to 240, because the orange bar is breaking the big names of the pages in the top of the page. Create a page yourself and use a big name and you will see by yourself.

What is the biggest size of the logo ?

Can you tell me what is the hex color of your links ?

Thanks and excuse me my bad english.

Dude #nav-wrap1 is not the problem. I tried it with width 240px and its working fine. I think you have done changes to margin and padding of the theme.

Reply

Leo January 20, 2010 at 4:25 pm

I dont change anything except #nav-wrap1. With or without the modification or widgets, the same happen.
