What’s included?
What’s the difference between this theme and the free themes I offer?
Basically, many bloggers want unique, or at least remotely unique design, but due to the high prices for custom designs, most bloggers today cannot afford it. Using a free wp theme means your blog will look like 1000 others on the net, if not more. Here, for a pretty symbolic fee of $10 $8, you get a professionally looking design with juicy colours, professional structure, fast loading, optimized for various plug ins and XHTML valid (please see Copyright credits for coding below).
*** Please note that all payments are non refundable. You will be asked to confirm the payment while going through the check out form via PayPal (secure payment), and once the payment is made, you will be automatically redirected to the download page. If you have any difficulties downloading, please email me to lorelei [at] loreleiweb [dot] com with your transaction ID.

Yet another little success - we got featured on the welovewp.com showcase gallery! These are actually great news after 2 days ago when toptut.com seemed to had a bad day… I came online just to find out that all the pages were deleted, plug ins disabled and a few other minor yet annoying problems that continue still! Oh well, thanks “WeLoveWP”!
If you are a designer who makes sponsored wordpress themes, you probably know that the peek of selling sponsored links on the free themes is already behind us. A few months ago it was a real hit, Digital Point Forum was practically over flooded with titles like “sponsor this unique wordpress theme” and now it’s a safe to say the trend is going downhills. Why? Who brought it down?
1. Thank you, Google. Advertisers buy links in order to increase their Ranking and SERP’s in the big G, so with the wave of penalties that advertisers suffered from paid links, quite a lot of them stepped down from the race for sponsored links.
2. Thank you, Rippers. When people start to get paid for something, they also start looking for a way to shorten the path to the cash… and just rip other’s themes. After having bought twice (!) a ripped theme from someone who claimed it to be 100% original, I really lost trust in “wordpress designers”. Moreover, my themes (mainly Modern Magic) was sold and resold and redistributed a several times already (I will not link to the rippers but I did already in my other blog), fighting against the kids who do it is pretty useless. They are all kids, they are all greedy, and they all get pissed off with you if you point out to their rip-off. Bearing all this in mind, advertisers start hesitating to invest hundreds of dollars in a SEO tactic that stands on shaky ethical ground.
3. Thank you, crap designers. While some people rip, others design themselves, but “unique” design does not always mean “good”. Or remotely good. Or somewhat good. We came to the point that there are TOO many

Finally, after having supplied over 7 thousand people with wordpress themes I looked at my own blog and thought that it cries out for a truly unique design. Not just yet another free theme with a different header, but something truly amazing. It took me a few hours to come up with the idea, and about 1 hour to doodle this idea in photoshop, then, after getting some positive feedback about it I decided to get it coded.
I could get the general idea coded but this layout, despite the misleading simple appearance, has its fair share of divisions and slices, so I needed someone professional to do it for me, and luckily Tom from WordpressMania made an absolutely fantastic job on it, it took only 2 days to get the whole psd converted to Wordpress, and it even came ready for gavatars, widgets and various plug-ins that I couldn’t get working with the layout before (wowie!). I’d have never made such a job myself, so endless ‘thank you’ goes once again to Tom for the incredible conversion.
So.. this layout might not be the fastest loading yet, but I will optimize it soon; also, since I sat half the day here modifying and adjusting various bits of the template I could have screwed something, so please report bugs. I can’t guarantee I will fix them, but at least I’d know about them! I hope you will enjoy the new look.
EDIT: Hmm, yeah, the pages links on top will be redone..
For the first time I am releasing a theme dedicated to sport, on Triathlon Training’s special request. Actually, I am happy to have this theme in the portfolio now, and probably will make something for the sports niche in the future although I always thought that those who work out don’t sit by the computer and blog… Anyway, here is a very sleek web 2.0 theme with rounded corners, rounded search bar window, and pleasant green / blue / white colours scheme.
I hope you will enjoy this release!
