   Chris - did you design this theme? Customize it? Find it somewhere? I really like it. If you’re a computer guy, I wonder if you’re into design dabbling as well. And…well…I’m in dire need of a non-crap theme…

   Deas - I spent months in my design labs…. I’m kidding.. I bought it from premiumnewstheme.com and customised it. I put together the header myself and changed some of the code. I do a little design, in that I know how to use photoshop and have previously designed layouts, but I’m not a designer.

   I tend to spend far too long working on a design and by the time I have it online I’m tired of it and want to change it again! So I decided to focus on the content and let someone else worry about design issues.

   There’s a lot of free themes at http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/02/09/83-beautiful-wordpress-themes-you-probably-havent-seen/

   I especially like the free themes at http://www.briangardner.com/themes

   I usually find what I need with the free WP themes even though I have to modify them quite a bit sometimes.

   Yours looks great!

   I love this theme! In fact, I use it for my blog as well

   It’s the nicest wordpress theme I’ve seen yet

   @Billy - I’m glad I made the investment to buy it. I’d still be working on a theme right now if I hadn’t! I’m planning to keep modifying it gradually so it won’t look too much like all the other sites that use it.

   @Koichi - Haha I didn’t realise. I’ve been reading your feed but hadn’t visited the site in a while. I just noticed your blog isn’t on my blogroll… I’d better fix that!
