I just found two really powerful and elegant wordpress themes: Mandigo and Royale. Both the two themes are designed by onehertz, so they got similar functions. The most powerful part of these two themes is that you can customize almost everything in the Presentation panel: you can edit the header and footer in HTML insert tab, change the setting of theme in Theme Options, you can even switch the layout from 2-column to 3-column, and of course they are widget-ready. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

I found two elegant and clean themes today: iTheme and YGo Loner.
iTheme is designed by N.Design Studio, here is the official description:
iTheme is a WordPress theme that is designed for the Mac lovers with a truly customizable sidebar. As an administrator, you can customize your sidebar’s contents without modifying the source code using WordPress widgets (no programming required). As an audience, you can rearrange the sidebar by drag & drop or you can collapse the box to hide it.
Note: this theme requires Javascript in order for the sidebar to work (drag & drop).

YGo Loner is designed by YgoSearch:
It is again a 3 column wordpress theme with black and grey as the dominating colors. The page links are on the top bar with title and description towards the left. Two grey lines outline, the header, intelligently merging it with the body of the text.

Hope you like them, Happy blogging…

I can’t find any theme for Wordpress MU home page, except edublog home theme. But you need to do a lot of modification to use it. I got a easiest to change the home of WPMU, and not to destroy the layout of your favorite theme.
- Choose a favorite theme, copy the index.php, and rename the reproduction to home.php. This is the new home page.
- Delete original code between <div id=”content”> and its close tag </div> in the new home page.
- Open home.php in the home theme which is the default home theme of WPMU, copy the codes between <div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”> and its close tag </div>. Back to the new home page, paste the code under <div id=”content”>.
- Upload your new home page to your favorite theme folder, you got your new home in the style of your favorite theme.
This is what I do in my website, I’m new to WPMU, if I missed something, please let me know.
