We would like to share a preview of an exciting theme that we are working on - Folo. It is a portfolio theme that can be used to showcase work samples or services. The homepage provides unique layout (non-blog style) with a slider and highlighted items. It is our first theme that comes with dual menus (one left and one right). We are still finalizing the details and features. Let us know if you have any suggestions for this theme.

Theme Updates: Default Layout Options
Beside making more new awesome themes, we've also been focusing on improving our existing themes with more user-friendly features. After the Wumblr and Newsy update, here are the themes that have been updated with default layout options: Minblr (demo), Photobox (demo), Edmin (demo), Bizco (demo), Blogfolio (demo), and ThemeMin (demo). The updated theme allows you to set the default layout for Index (home, archive, category, search, tag pages, etc.), Posts, and Pages. You can have sidebar left, sidebar right, or no sidebar along with various list view and grid view layouts. On top of that, you can toggle the visibility of post title, date, image, meta, content, etc. We are looking to revamp all our themes to have the same layout features. Stay tuned.

Wumblr Update: Layout Modules & Mobile Version
We are please to announce that Wumblr has been updated. We added new modules where you can set the default layout for: Archive (index, search, category, tag pages, etc.), all Pages, and all Posts. As a bonus, we also added a mobile version to it. Wumblr now has the same fluid layout feature as our popular responsive design themes: iTheme2, Minblr, and Funki. What is responsive design? Basically, the layout automatically flows (responds) base on the browser viewport. This means the layout will still look good and consistent when viewed from most modern devices (desktop or mobile) and any screen resolution. To see this in action, visit our demo, resize your browser window to see the fluid layout. Also, don't forget to try it on a mobile device such as iPad, iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.
New Funki Theme
After the success of our two popular responsive design + mobile themes (free iTheme2 and Minblr), Funki is the new addition to the library. The theme is coded with HTML5 techniques and has a responsive layout which is a combination of CSS3 and Javascript magic. It works on all modern browsers, mobile devices (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc.), and on any display resolution. To see it in action, go to our demo site and resize your browser's window. On top of the great fluid design, we spent a huge amount of time building a number of customizable layout options (4-column, 3-column, 2-column, list view, thumb view, etc.). Funk up your site with Funki now!
Use the coupon code "funki" for a 30% discount off this theme until Apr 4, 2011.
