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:

  1. The flash-banner with pictures and links to the relevant post.
  2. The Tabber with Video-Tab in it, I like it very much. It makes this blog looks more professionally built.
  3. The headline for "Featured" category, at the top level just below the flash-pictures-banner.
  4. The "HomeThumb", that lets one to add a picture at his/her every post. It is so attractive to me.
  5. The "WP Cumulus", with its moving Tags, seems very cute and funny.
  6. and many more. Mostly, I like all the features, really.

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.
