As I promised earlier, I am back with a new wordpress theme which is free. This theme is a gift for you, my readers, for Christmas. You can see it live and working on this blog. Here are some of the technical options:
- three columns wordpress theme
- three spots in the header to add some details like about me or anything you want
- three spots in the footer to add widgets or plugins
- one 728×90px ad spot; one 300×250px ad spot which can be used also to place a video player like youtube; one 120×600px ad spot for banners or google adsense (better because with the proper colors it blends well)
- one sidebar specialy created for 125×125px ads
- I have included in the zip package the psd file for the logo so you can edit the colours and the text
- you can change the red color from the menu and headings by replacing from the style.css file the colour codes for h2 and #menu (border-bottom)
You can see those spots in the bellow image (click on it to enlarge):

A lot of people define web2.0 as a progression from what was the internet in the 90′ and what it is now, in 2007. K, so in the past , web1.0, there was only text and images because people didn’t have stable and high internet connections, now almost everyone has a broadband internet connection and for this fact the technology has evolved and now we have video, chats, radio, social networks, podcasting and other types, this is the so called web2.0 . In my opinion this is only the normal way of progression, as if you were a child and you grow mature, so I don’t think it was really necessary to define this progression with a certain word like web2.0 .
