Description :
THiCK is a theme designed specifically for personal blog from WooThemes. We have seen many excellent themes from WooThemes but most of them are either targeted for business owners or collaborative sites like newspaper or magazine style themes.
So it is indeed refreshing when I came across THiCK. It is about time someone personalises a theme that focuses on the blogger, rather than the blog itself. After all, nothing is bigger than the blogger and there would not be a blog if there were no blogger in the first place, right? Let’s see how the designer Matt Brett describes his creation.
Theme Features:
- 20 different styles & colour schemes available - including grunge & clean, and light & dark designs;
- 3 different widgetized spaces with oodles of custom widgets to allow you to move content around as your heart desires;
- An integrated lifestream to publish all of your online activities elsewhere; and
- Two alternative header layouts for you to play around with.
- Asides / sideblog functionality.
- Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice site-wide
- Built-in Gravatar Support for Authors & Comments;
- Automatic Image Resizer, which is used to dynamically create the thumbnails and featured images;
- Integrated Theme Options (for WordPress) to tweak the layout, colour scheme etc. for the theme.
What do I think about this theme?
Like I have mentioned, the design of THiCK is a refreshing variation from the many identical themes of WooThemes and other designers out there. While (all) designers scramble to produce niche and Web 2.0 styled themes, we have Matt here who takes a bold step using grunge styles and reverting the focus of the theme back on the blogger.
I like the Twitter plug just below the header, I like the tabbed navigation menu, I like the social profiles listing as well as the LifeStream (and My Books, My Movies, etc.) sidebar(s). If I have $70 or more to spend, I wouldn’t mind using this theme for my personal blog, not if there were more beautiful newspaper, magazine or Web 2.0 styled themes available for free. I just love a theme that is focused on me, enough said!
