Once again and as Bill the Cat would say: `Ack!` For whatever reason, I can’t decide which WordPress.com theme I want. I’m trying Black Letterhead again.
I’ll draft a nice wish list here and then post my wish list on the forum later on.
- Dark theme. Light colors hurt my eyes.
- Bottom bar. I hate sidebars! I like one-column themes!
- Top navigation bar with drop-down menu. I hate sidebars!
- Shortcodes for archives, links, media and pages. I hate sidebars!
- Custom header.
- Custom background.
- Toggles for meta data – tags, categories, authors, time stamp, date stamp.
- Toggles for sidebars, too. I hate sidebars.
- Toggles for different font sizes and type for different elements.
- Tagline (or blog description) underneath the blog title.
- Search form somewhere near the header.
- Feeds for both posts and comments near the header.
Blix theme: I like the single page view for `pages`. If there is a theme for single page view for `posts`, that would be nice.
Dusk theme: I like how the meta data is present with the time/date stamp followed by the category and tags. The comments and/or permalinks could be next but appears on the bottom of each post.
Black Letterhead theme: I like the dark colors of red, yellow and gray. It’s creepy.
Misty theme: I like this theme. The fonts are easy to read. The elements of a search page, feeds for posts and comments, top navigation bar, blog description (or tagline) and custom header are all near the header.
Hemingway theme: I like the bottom bar (or footer). The spread is even and the fonts are small. I like three footers, not two or four!
Contempt theme: I like how the sidebar widgets are nice and cozy inside their boxes. The header to each widget is well presented.
Regulus theme: I like how the search form and feeds are located on the top and bottom of the sidebar, respectively. I like how the `Top` link (located at the bottom) scrolls fast and fluidly back to the `top` of the weblog.
Unsleepable theme: I like how the sub-pages appear towards the top of each `page`.
Fresh Bananas theme: The corners are rounded. The light blue is nice and soft. The fonts are normal and large.
Day Dream theme: Of all the WordPress.com theme, I love the fonts! I still can’t figure out the bottom bar.
Inuit Types theme: I love the dark color scheme and the big fonts. But the `tables` element doesn’t show up.
INove theme: I love everything about it. Except it’s too perfect. It lacks my time stamp.
Kubrick theme: It’s normal.
As for the other themes, the time stamp issue is my main concern. That’s all.
