We mentioned that the blogging platform we are using is WordPress MU, the same application that runs WordPress.com. It is a flexible system that seems to have a better learning curve than most blogging platforms.
One of the advantages is that we can change the look and feel of a blog in real time by applying a theme. The theme defines the layout of the page (2 or 3 columns, full or fixed width), font types and colors. Some even come with background images. Content, like text and embedded videos stay the same, what changes is how they are displayed.
The limited number of themes available in our version of WordPress were pulled from a list, where people have created thousands of custom themes. Here are two lists that I use:
http://themes.wordpress.net/
http://www.wpthemesfree.com/
Jason and I are not fond of the theme we are currently using and we want you to choose a new one. The only criteria is that it must be 2-column, widget ready, and display sub-pages. Check out these lists, or others, and let us know your favorites by commenting to this post. In fact, I’ll take the top 10 choices and make them available to everyone who makes a blog with our WordPress.
I sort of like Tonus 1.3.
wash me inverted…?
For reference, here is the link to the theme that Derek suggested:
