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”!
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..
You are not going to believe your ears…
A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times
Wanna see some screenshots and have a small peek at the new dashboard? Go here.
And this is going to be our new navigation…

Not sure if I approve but for sure looks very sleek. Come on, someone please volunteer to test the bugs and let’s get the version released!

Yes, many of you come here to download my wordpress themes, but I am not the only one who makes them and as a designer I ceaselessly look for a new place where I can promote my designs. Most wordpress related blogs allow users to register and upload their own themes but in my opinion, it totally destroys the blog’s quality as expected going downhills. This is exactly the mistake that WordpressTheme.com avoids and as a result offers their readers only high quality content. In fact, most wordpress themes that I had seen on that website are not available anywhere else, at least I never seen them before.
If you are a designer looking to submit your designs, you have to read through the submission criteria and email the site’s admin. It’s PR5 well indexed website so submitting your themes will guarantee they will get indexed and boost your downloads count. Moreover, theme author’s website is posted on each post, which means a nice traffic boost, so no matter how you look at — you benefit if your submission gets approved.
If you are a blogger looking for a classy wordpress theme, then wordpresstheme.com the ultimate place for you. Why? Because the guys behind this blog visit dozens of sites daily looking for the most exclusive and interesting themes, and you get the essence of all the wordpress designs, gathered under one roof. If you know the theme you are looking for by name, you can view the complete themes list, where you can download directly.
As I said in the beginning, when I came across this website today and started browsing a little, I found tons of themes I never seen before, so for anyone who does not want his blog to look like the 100th clone of another, WordpressTheme.com is a must to drop by!
You will thank me later 
Remember the Lunar Pages contest where my theme, Modern Magic, participated? I won, you know! I am still in a process of thanking everyone for the help and support, the list is pretty big but I am getting there slowly, but in anyway, a very big thank you to all the toptut reader who voted for me!!! And I know there were many, so thanks for helping me to win.
Also, obviously I want to thank Lunar Pages Staff, and especially Amy for everything!
So, check should be on its way and tonight I sat to sort out my new shiny hosting account. Honestly I was very much impressed with LP hosting, first of all — it has cPanel!! Secondly, while I was setting up PSwish.com, I noticed that it loads very fast (faster than my test site on toptut.com), set up took practically minutes the account comes with loads of nice features. I must say I am more than impressed with the quality so far. Yay, I am off to keep working on pswish.com 
Today is becoming somewhat popular to claim financial compensation after even the smallest accidents. I had seen two of my family members doing it after car accidents they had and even though if, God forbid, accident compensation won’t heal any health damages caused by the accident, it gives a very nice monetary compinsation for buying things you could never afford before. The best part is, you can claim really big compensation since it gets paid up by the insurance company and not the individual. Recently, Keypoint Claims has expanded it’s services from Endowment Claims to include Personal Injury and Accident Compensation Claims so if you are in the UK you can avail of their services to claim your monetary compensation. Their legal team will support you right from the start and help you with every step. So like they say on their website — don’t add insult to injury 
It seems like you cannot make a spoof celebrity profile on a major social network anymore and get away with it. Especially not if you live in Morocco. I just read on Mashable that:
a 26 year-old guy, an IT engineer, has been arrested for making a fake Facebook profile for Prince Moulay Rachid, the younger brother of King Mohammed VI, according to FaceReviews.
Now, there’s one trend around the world that has been made blatantly obvious to me: most countries with monarchies don’t like when you poke fun at the royal family. While the fake profile was done in jest, the prank landed Mourtada in jail. He’s now facing up to 5 years in prison, and that’s no fun. It’s certainly not worth a fake Facebook profile.
The sad thing is how much one can be punished for making a stupid fake profilein a cyber world. The authorities considered such a joke to be classified as identity theft.
Don’t play games with the cyber world, else you’ll get all of Facebook shut down for your entire country.
