Rarely do I have fun doing something useless, but this is an exception. Not much to say about what you’re about to lay your eyes on, something I read over at QuadsZilla’s blog that I found interesting. Here are my entries, excuse me if they are weird, I’ve had a bit too much brandy to drink tonight 
There’s absolutely nothing worse than those long scrolling landing pages. Those one page sites that take you hours to scroll to the bottom of, only to end up scrolling all the way back without a single clue of what it is you’re reading or trying to find. That’s bad business right there!
I have now designed a simple yet stylish, functional landing page that minimizes scroll and helps you organize your content in a way that users wont be scared to hang around on your page. I have also left a spot for ads, or possibly a newsletter form or contact/registration form.
It’s really very simple, if it looks professional, chances are users will last longer on your page. To give you an example, I was hired by www.America.edu recently to setup a quick landing page for one of their free student services, the real estate virtual assistant page. See how simple and organized it looks? What more can you want out of a landing page. This one in particular I have copyrighted, and it comes in different styles, there’s the horizontal navigation version of the design, and the vertical one. There’s also one with 2 wide columns and one with 4! Trust me, even with a 4 column theme it looks hot! 
Some University students from France have recently contacted me to help them with a project of theirs. They were shooting a documentary on ‘life in the military’ and wanted me to help edit some of their photographs mainly because they were forced to shoot some in day light, when it really should have been night.
I’ve been working on a few smiley packs for bloggers. These will be sold one time each only, exclusively to bloggers who would like to use these on their blogs in their comment section. I may also make a pack for a VBulletin forum theme I am making, similar to the style of this blog.
There are so few premium smiley packs on the market today, and more and more packs are being develped that seem to almost mimic previouse packs before them. I will also be creating custom smiley packs based on a collection of celebraty photographs, and peoples photographs.
I have been really busy lately but I promise to get this blog and my portfolio up to date over the upcoming weekend. Till then, here’s an apple wallpaper themed like my blog for everyone to enjoy.
Earlier this week I was asked by a good friend to skin a wordpress theme based on the whole ‘This Is Africa’ concept. So I did, and I tried to make it as widget friendly as humanly possible. I’m sharing this with you guys, hope you like it. If you need some minor alterations you can’t do yourself, feel free to drop me a comment and let me know, I’ll be more than happy to fix it for you.
This is a 2 column African based theme, widget friendly and absolutely free to download. Leave the footer links intact as thanks. As MK once said, it’s all about mutual respect.
Free Blogger Themes. It all started after a close friend asked me to cook up a quick Blogger theme for her. I did and it was so easy I went ahead and made a few more. I’ll add them on a daily, or bi daily basis for you guys to download. I’ll only be able to provide a screenshot not a live demo, so please, if you end up coming across a little bug in any, let me know and i’ll fix them.
This is the one I made for my friend just the other day. I’ll add more complex better designed templates later on. Feel free to drop me a comment if you have any requests or would like to see a Wordpress theme transformed into a Blogger theme!
Here’s a list of the top 7 free wordpress blog themes online in my opinion, download links and screenshots included. These are without a doubt some of my favorites and are download worthy, so download them! It takes a lot of hard work to create a simple wordpress theme, it’s a million times harder to create one of the below themes! Works of art, absolute beauty
A three column work of art. illacrimo is elegant, modern and well designed. Functional, simple but presents bloggers with a powerful professional impact for their blog readers.
Whalesalad is one of those wordpress themes that screams to be used. It’s a dark theme but colors don’t clash, I’ve had some hardcore light colored blog theme lovers swear by this one, which is praise enough i’m sure.
Green is the key here, lots of green, simple and crisp. This WordPress theme is free to download, it’s widget friendly and boasts a unique design. Minimalistic as it is, the design speaks for itself. It’s a 2 column light colored theme with right navigation. The theme is designed to be SEO friendly and with a little tweaking here and there to permalink structure and title structure, you’re looking at an amazingly versatile wordpress them. Remember, it’s free to download, just keep the link back to me in the footer as a kind gesture.
