The whole theme is preloaded with JQuery. This is the only one fully JQuery powered WordPress theme on Theme Forest and probably on the whole internet too. It’s not just a simple minisite, it’s a fullblown WordPress experience with all the bells and whistles. Please take your time and explore every corner of this theme because it’s really filled up with my originality and unexpected features. I would even call it as my master-piece because I really tried to do my best here.

CreativeZodiac is mainly a Portfolio and Blog theme. It’s suitable for all creatives and bloggers out there, but I can also imagine it as a stylish virtual business card. The possibilities are endless, it all depends on your imagination and interest. Plus the whole theme is so simple and easy to use thanks to extensive theme options panel and custom write panels which makes everything quick and breeze!

Now let’s cut to the chase and sum up what it’s all about.

General Features

• NO PAGE RELOADING , EVER – THAT ’S A PROMISE
  • This is really good for increasing page views (for like 100% and even more) and improving overall user experience
• Support Back and Forward buttons on your mouse with animations (feel free to try it yourself right now!)
• Support Mouse Wheel for the Scrollbars:
• Scrollbars – are automatically added if your content in blog posts or pages is bigger than the height of the main container. No kidding, it just automatically pops up when and where you need it.
• Unlimited number of Galleries / Porfolio pages
• Unlimited number of Pages
• Unlimited number of Blogs and blog posts
• Unlimited number of Comments
• Search (again with no page reloading as promised)
• Full support for URL linking (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/blog/01-my-blog-post/) so you can tweet your latest blog posts with direct link!!
• Revolutionary and yet so simple Contact form with awesome field validation (see for yourself)
• Extensive Theme Options Panel
  • You can edit literally every piece of text – great if you want to translate everything to your language
• Intro page with 3 link-boxes
  • Can be completely disabled in Theme Options Panel, so the user can land on a page, gallery or blog directly. You just choose which one you want and it’s set.
  • Images of those introboxes can be easily edited in one really simple and ready PSD file without any clutter around. Here is a that PSD saved as PNG file, ready to use on live website (link)
• Many “small” PSD files for almost every “piece” of design and 1 big PSD file with the whole site. We both know that this is very handy.
• Well documented – HD video screencast on how to setup everything
• Amazingly light and sleek new lightbox (officially called “colorbox”)
• Pre-installed TimThumb PHP script for dynamic image resizing
  • Just upload one big picture and you are done! This scipt will automatically resize the picture and use it thoughout the theme.
  • Don’t like automatic resizing? I got you covered. When writing a post, you can manually resize and upload 3 sizes of your image (small, medium and large) and fill the URLs into custom Write Panel.

Page Templates

• Standard full-width page template with poping up scrollbar if the content is bigger then the height of it’s container

• Comments
  • Unlimited number of comments
  • It’s almost impossible to hack the new JS commenting system by general spam bots!
  • Sleek form for adding comments with magnificent field validation – you have to try it.
• Gallery
  • Every blog post can have it’s own gallery.
  • For instance imagine you were at the party, took some bling bling photos and you want to attach them to a blog post and share them with others. Or you just finished a project and have some screenshots to share? Quite handy huh? And pretty easy to use, just fill the URLs of your images into the Custom Write Panel when you are writing a blog post and you are set!
• Share
  • Built-In sharing which can be more customized in Theme Options Panel
  • Your visitors will be automatically one click away from sharing your posts with the world via famous services like Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon and much more
• Search
  • Blog comes also with it’s own search panel with beautifully designed search results.
  • Turn ON and OFF some or all effects and sub-effects of animations to your liking or for a better performance. See Theme Options screenshot here (link)
  • Disable the intro page with 3 link-boxes and then set any page you want as your homepage
  • You can also set the pages where those link-boxes should link after clicking
  • VCard function in the upper right corner
    • Can be completelly disabled or enabled
    • Text “Download my Vcard” can be of course edited via Theme options panel
    • Don’t like the icon? change it in /gfx/vcard.png or in photoshop with /gfx/vcard.psd
  • Think the body text size or line-height are too big or too small? Just adjust this line in style.css file:

    • body    {font-size:99px;} to change the general font-size

      or this line:

      body {line-height:99px;} to change the general line-height

    • By doing this, the theme won’t break! Sizes and line-heights for things like navigation, buttons etc. remains still same because they are fixed in other css classes, it’s that easy.
  • Literally every piece of text can be changed via Theme Options panel like buttons, description for icons in the blog, contact form steps etc., simply everything
  • Due to a javascript loading nature of this theme, plugins, widgets and different permalink structures other than / post_id – postname / are not supported.

Ramiro Coffee is a light weight magazine style theme for bloggers who like the idea of running their blog on a professional skin that enable usage of Adsense and thumbnails, yet don’t want to use a complicated and complex theme that will heavily rely on plug ins and scripts. This theme is extremely easy to use, you won’t need to do anything beside adding your Adsense code to sidebar (if you want, of course). If you switch from “regular” blog theme to this magazine, you won’t need to go over all your posts adding thumbnails and custom fields, which is one of teh main advantages of this theme, it will pull images (if there are any) directly from your post, resize them and bring to the post thumbnail.

This skin is ideal for coffee-lovers like myself, so make yourself a cup and start blogging!

I think we came to the point that free wordpress theme have over-saturated the market, there are millions of them by now but when you come to pick one for your website — let’s face it, you can’t find even one semi-decent there. They are all either poorly coded, or ripped, or just plain ugly (of course this excludes OUR free wordoress themes collection!). So I decided to compose a small list of truly high quality themes, professionally coded and laid out, which you can get for 10-20 dollars and moreover won’t need to make do with a long trail of spammy links at the footer.

1. “Our Community” WordPress Theme

ThemeForest’s best seller — Fantastic integration between a cosy looking personal wordpress theme and a neat, web 2.0, professional magazine style layout. While the price could seem a bit expensive to some ($30), it’s is way cheaper than a regular magazine style theme of this standard. You get the PSD file with the download, and apart from a beautiful design, there are some premium features like: custom admin panel features, ads management system, drop down menu, and moreover, you are able to define which categories to be shown in front page. View the demo, download and purchase details…

2. “Showcase WordPress” Theme

Perhaps the best wordpress showcase design you will ever come across. It is quite universal and can be both an inspiration showcase site (like cssmania.com), a database of free wordpress themes, personal or photography portfolio and anything else in between that requires an easy to use and manage image gallery. Costs $30 and in my opinion worth every cent. Among other features: 125×125 sidebar adds, fully managed by a Custom Admin Panel in wordpress admin, custom random image rotator in the middle of the footer and the thumbnails you see on the front page, are inputted using custom fields. View the demo, details and download options…

3. “Blazen” WordPress Theme (new)

This theme might look simple at the first sight, but if you take a closer look you will see that this theme has an enormous potential. For people like myself, who are not keen on the “classic” magazine style wp themes, this one resembles more the structure of Smashingmagazine.com and can suit practically ANY blog with main section of posts and a “sideblog” on the right column. The theme costs only $25 and was released earlier last week, so if you want to grab the design fast — this is your opportunity before the price might rise (as I seen it happening with a couple of other themes). Some of the notable features include:

• Built in Custom Admin Menu
• 3 Color schemes
• Built in Custom Write Options (Post Image, and Subtitle)
• Sideblog (Micro blogging)

See more features, deme and download options…

4. “Wood World” WordPress Theme

5. “Eat Fish Cat” WordPress Theme

6. “Code Breaker” WordPress theme (only $12)

7. “Aurora Borealis” WordPress Theme

8. “Quick Tab” WordPress Theme

9. “The Other Blog” WordPress theme

10. “BMag” WordPress theme ($12 Only)

So, this was my top 10 picks from the rapidly growing new network of wordpress themes – Theme Forest. Hope you will find something for your liking in this list.

As an ex-musician I remember that back when I was recording my own music, the biggest problem was always recording in the right format, to avoid losing quality and sound channels. It was particularly annoying when you record in the one and only format, which you equipment allows you to, and when you come to play it to someone else on their player, it would not work because formats are not competible. This is why anyone who works with sounds, music, videos or media files must have Blaze Media Pro close by.

This is a powerful all-in-one multimedia application that includes MOV converter, video encoder and even DVD software that will convert, rip, edit, record, burn and playback anything you need. Their software comes with plenty of advanced features including video capture, video creation, combining, extraction, video editing, audio and video merge, MusicID audio recognition, lyrics search, audio tag editing, FreeDB support, and more! You can even create videos from still frame images or pieces of other videos. You can create your own videos with separately attached sound, combine a video clip from pieces of other media files and create anything you wish, with Blaze Media Pro — the sky is the limit.

I have tried plenty of sound and video editing programs, some were better, some were worse, but this one is probably the best because:

• It supports all the formats you may ever need: CD, MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, MPEG-4, AIFF, M4A, AAC, AC3, FLAC, ALAC, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI, WMV, ASF, Flash (SWF and FLV), iPod, PSP, 3GP, MOV, VCD, SVCD, and DVD.
• It has an extremely easy to use interface.
• You can try it free before buying for 15 days and purchasing a license costs ONLY $50 (this is at least half of what normally software of this scope would cost).
• Video editing is available for for AVI uncompressed and compressed, using any available codec.
• BMP, GIF, JPG, PCX, PNG, RAS, PPM, TGA, and TIF are the supported image formats that can be inserted or extracted.
• Drag and Drop features are enabled.

Not only it gives fantastic value for your money and allows you to create your own videos and sound bits with no limitation, but it also converts practically any sound/video format to whatever you need, so you will never get stuck with a CD or DVD you can’t play due to format incompatibility. Once you have this program installed (like myself) you will find yourself spending long hours finally letting your creativity go wild, making and editing videos and combining your own mini-clips to post on youtube.

Today, when there is an enormous variety of file formats (why were they all invented in the first place?), Blaze Media Pro can be the ultimate tool on your computer to help and easily convert files in a few seconds.

Try it free.
