Testing “ZinMag” Themes

Tonight I've found some other great free wordpress themes. I found them all here. After test the demo, and downloaded some of them, now I'm trying to apply one of the themes. It is the "ZinMag Futura Theme" developed by "Web Hosting Geeks".

At first, it seemed so difficult to me to apply this theme. Later on, I found out why.. I've placed the files not at its proper place, so I failed at the first try. Then, I carefully read the instruction or the guidance that came along with the files.. and thanks God, everything then went so so smoothly.

This theme is wonderful !! It is so easy to apply, and has so many attractive features -at least for me. What I like best from this theme are:

This theme has so many great features, that encourage me to explore everything in it. But, there are also some features that I think should be added too, mainly:

1. The navigator buttons. The "next posts" and "previous posts" buttons as navigation for the blog visitor, even for the owner of the blog, is accordingly become something important to me.  The navigation links, the "older entries" and "newer entries" were placed below the posts at the first page of the blog. I almost can't find them, since they're blurred with the strong brown-colored line. Furthermore, I could not find these navigation when I open a single post. I wish that these navigation links could be found easily.
2. I experienced, unproper view when I want to see any posts that belong to a category. The view is not at as it should be: mainly because of the dropping side-widgets, and the darken view.
3. I also found, that this theme is best opened with Mozilla Firefox (I use V.3.0.4) and Internet Explorer 7. Everything is just fine with these two browsers. Though, some links will be dissappear when I use Opera (V10.x beta), and Google Chrome, especially the links below the flash-banner, which leads to a certain post when clicked.
4. The "Twitter Updates" at the right side. Eventhough I finally signed up for Twitter, I found that, this feature is not really "everybody-demanded". This feature is really great for the Twitter members, but it seemed unlikely for the non-Twitter-Member.
5. The absence of "blog copyright" below the theme. Unlikely most of the free WordPress theme I ever used, there are no "blog-copyrigted" sign at the bottom of the theme. In my opinion, this feature or sign, should be there, therefore it should be added at the next version.

After all, I really really like this "ZinMag Futura Theme". I really enjoy using this theme, the implementation was smooth and without any difficulties at all. Finally, credits and thanks goes to "Web Hosting Geeks" for this great, free, eye-catching theme. For a newbie like me, having blog with display like this is amazing. So, thanks again.

My WordPress Blogs

It's been a long enough time since my last post at this blog.. very sorry for that. This post just wanna tell you about the existence of my other blogs.

I have some blogs, mostly on Blogspot, while i have 2 blogs only using WordPress. One of my WordPress blog is mervandi.wordpress.com which is a free-service blog, with the wordpress_com on the address. While the other one is TheGeom.com which is a self-hosted WordPress blog.

Of course there are some advantages and disadvantages of using the free-service blog and self-hosted one. Here are some of them:

1. Free-service blog

• The free-service blog usually contains the name of the service provider at the end of the address. For example: mervandi.blogspot.com or mervandi.wordpress.com. Yes, just like my other blogs.
• One of the most advantages of this free-service blog is, that it will never die. You don't have to worry that your blog will be disappear. As long as the service-provider is there, your blogs will be there too. You don't have to be bothered to manage the domain name, you don't have to worry about the space-quota of your blog, you don't have to worry that your domain name and the hosting will expire, because they're all handled by the service provider.
• While one of the most disadvantages is, that you could not modify or manage everything at the blog freely. For example: you can not use any theme you like with the free-service blog. Just like this blog.. where I could not put another blog-themes I like, but the themes given by the service provider -in this case is WordPress.com.

2. Self-hosted blog 

• Self-hosted blog is easily recognized from its name. First, it does not contain the name of any blog-provider like Blogspot, WordPress, Multiply and so on. Second, it contains only the name and the dot (could be .com, .net, .id, web.id and so on). For example: TheGeom.com.
• The most disadvantages of a self-hosted blog are: you will get busy with the domain and hosting matters, from the very start. You will be considering very carefully where to hire a server for space -called a hosting-, and when you've done with it, you must keep the domain and the hosting a life, for which you must pay for some extra money in order to maintain your domain (that is the blog name), and watch carefully your bandwith and space-quota of your hosting. Otherwise, your blog will be gone forever. Imagine the busy works, if you have many self-hosted blogs.
• The most advantages of a self-hosted blog are: you can manage anything of your blog, you can even monetize it, and the most important is that you are the very only master of your blog. It means that you can put or delete themes or anything you like or dislike from your blog, you can spare some space for people hire, or you can apply to any service provider for profit or revenue-sharing by putting their ads on your self-hosted blog. In short, you can optimize your blog at its potential.

Well then, it's up to you, whether you prefer to own a free-service blog or the self-hosted blog. Whatever your decision is, I invite you to visit my blogs, and perhaps we could link each other on blogs. See you around..!

Thank you for visiting, reading and may be commenting. I'll put this post on my other wordpress blog too.

Blog Theme’s Refreshed

Update (24/07/08)

Perburuan theme berlanjut. Setelah sempat teler gara-gara halaman depan yang memble, beberapa waktu yang lalu saya coba searching lagi, mencari theme2 lainnya. Alhamdulillah, akhirnya dapat lagi beberapa theme keren baru untuk melengkapi koleksi theme yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Diantara theme baru itu :

- Ada Theme Indian Muslims dan Padangan dari Jauhari, melengkapi koleksi Theme Ayumi yang sudah ada di blog TheGeom ini sebelumnya.

- Terus, ada Theme Gossip City dari Elene G. dari Design Disease. Theme ini bagus banget , dan jadi theme andalan selama sekian waktu, sebelum akhirnya ketemu dengan Theme Lemon_Twist.

- Sempat juga download theme Lemon_Lime dari Chris Murphy, cuman belum pernah dicoba ditampilkan ke publik, baru sempat di-preview tampilannya saja.

- Lemon Twist dari Chris Murphy juga. Termasuk theme favorit saya. Gara-gara theme ini, saya jadi kepingin utak-atik blog lagi. Hasilnya.. halaman depan Thegeom bisa tampil normal pakai theme ini . TheGeom juga jadi tampil "lebih normal" untuk beberapa theme yang sebelumnya amburadul.

Silahkan saja kalau ingin mencoba salah satu theme diatas. Linknya sudah ada semua, bisa dicoba dan dipilih. Kalau saya sendiri sih, theme mana yang akan dipakai lagi tergantung pada suasana hati, dan kesesuaian tampilan themenya. Sangat bisa jadi, Anda akan mendapatkan tampilan yang lain dengan theme yang berbeda lagi, saat Anda berkunjung ke blog ini lagi esok hari. 

—update ended— 

Alhamdulillah, hari ini sempat bikin beberapa posting lagi, sambil ganti theme baru. Theme ini namanya Personal Theme dari 1800blogger and iThemes .

Semoga dengan penggunaan theme baru ini, tampilan blog menjadi lebih menyegarkan, terutama dengan memasang foto anak-anak sebagai bagian dari theme. Jadi, bisa lihat foto anak-anak sambil mengurusi blog. Enjoy ya…! (more later). 

What Happen to TheGeom’s Home ?

Ada apa dengan Halaman Depan Blog TheGeom ? 

TheGeom adalah nama blog ini, mudah-mudahan Anda ingat. Sebenarnya alasan penggunaan nama TheGeom untuk nama blog adalah agar secara filosofi, blog ini berkembang dengan luas. Saya tidak tahu istilah tepatnya.

TheGeom adalah nama salah satu syntax dalam database spasial PostgreSQL dan PostGIS, yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan atau mendefinisikan gambar bidang-bidang peta, yang disebut sebagai geometry (geom). TheGeom juga bisa diasosiasikan dengan dunia, karena potongan katanya, yaitu geo, yang berarti dunia atau bumi. Continue Reading >>
