Simpblue – Free WordPress Theme!

Update: Test Drive Simpblue at WPThemesFree.com!

My weekend project this week was to finally sit down and create my own original WordPress theme. Here are the results…

Hope it is something you can all enjoy and get something out of. I wanted to create a theme that would both look good by itself but could also easily be customizable too. I think Simpblue does both of those jobs very well.

+ Download the Simpblue WordPress Theme! (.zip)

Only thing that I ask is that you keep my design credit (and link) at the bottom in one way, shape or form.

As this is my very first WordPress theme that I have created I would appreciate any feedback you have. Feel free to leave a comment or drop me an e-mail at mitch@mitchkeeler.com. Happy blogging!

Another Gmail Apple Theme?

While waiting for the Gmail folks to upgrade my account – figured I’d go out and look at some of the alternative themes out there for it. This one I found over at Userstyles.org – the home for scripts used with the Stylish Firefox extension (or with some, Greasemonkey).

Gmail.app

I do have to say it looks pretty slick.

ShinRa House Blu WordPress Theme

ShinRa House WordPress Theme

I found another great looking WordPress theme that I just had to share with the masses, while I had the masses attention. ShinRa House Blu has that type of “Web 2.0″ look but still doesn’t bug me with being too simple or large. Two thumbs up for usability, design and all around awesomeness.

Lost My Mind, Found a WordPress Theme!

Lose My Mind WordPress Theme

It is not that often I find a WordPress theme that impresses me – so mark this date on your calendar of choice because it is a special occasion indeed. I really like the LoseMyMind 1.0 theme. It is simple, yet not too simple. Clean, but still gives you some features. As I look towards redesigning a few of my projects, I might just have to keep this theme in mind.
