Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Guys, This blog has been dressed up with two themes before. CopyBlogger Theme with Three Columns from the inception of this blog way back in December 2007 to May 2008 (6 months) and WP Premium Theme(current one) From May 2008 to till Date.

I have done lots of tinkering to this theme from Increasing the Sidebar Width, CSS Changes, Implementing Rounded Boxes in Sidebar and lots of other stuff. I am now looking for a new look. I am now bored of this old look :)

I would like you all readers/bloggers to pour in with your suggestions on Themes that i should try.

The new Wordpress theme should have following features

  1. SEO supported
  2. Two sidebars on right side
  3. Should fit 125X125 3 ads on the sidebar at the top
  4. Each sidebar should be 160px minimum
  5. Adsense support with HIGH CTR :)
  6. Other stuff...

I hope you guys can refer me Nice Impressive Free Theme/Premium Theme which is a bit cheap.

How to implement Threaded Comments in Wordpress Themes

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

In Wordpress 2.7 Features, a new feature - Threaded Comments is introduced.

The problem is that most of the wordpress bloggers are facing is that their theme doesn't support Threaded or Nested Comments.

To check whether Threaded Comments is supported by your current theme or not, Follow the below steps:

  1. Upgrade Wordpress is to 2.7 version, if not yet upgraded.
  2. Login to Wordpress admin and go to Settings -> Discussion
  3. Check on "Enable threaded (nested) comments 'n' levels deep".
  4. Click Save changes to enable Threaded Comments.
  5. View any post of your blog that contains few comments.

If you see a Reply link after each comment like shown below, then your Wordpress Theme supports Threaded Comments otherwise it doesn't support:

You will see reply links for every individual comment

You will see reply links for every individual comment

My current theme doesn't support it. I have made some changes to comments.php and style.css to support Threaded Comments. But, the changes are not yet live on my blog. I have done whole testing on my Local PC and the screenshot is taken from there. I need to do little bit of tinkering in CSS. By the way, if you are new to CSS then Learn CSS by reading this Book. Download It Free!
