A cool new WordPress theme called Adsense Boqpod has been released which is ideal for people who would like to have a instant Adsense website, with a pre-configured Adsense layout and where all you have to do is simply to insert your own Adsense publisher ID into the theme files. The theme includes the Adsense code for adunits, adlinks and the google sitesearch.

The theme is originally based on the theme Green Boqpod from Hardi P. Hardi P had included a .psd file for the header and footer images, for the Green Boqpod theme, which made it really easy to modify.

With the new modifications made by pilkster, Adsense Boqpod is now a full Adsense Ready theme that you can download and get to use straight away.

Newsportal is a nice, fast-loading 3 Column WordPress theme designed by Kaushal Sheth which is ideal for a business or news type blog.

The theme has a fully fluid width structure to suit all screen resolutions. The big benefit of this theme, I believe, is that it is really fast-loading. There is no fancy graphic headers or unnecessary code to slow down its performance and would be ideal for text-heavy website, such as a news or article site. It would make a great business blog too.

By default the theme does not use a tagline, but that can be easily changed by editing the theme with the theme editor if required, see below. Another feature is that the Newsportal theme is fully Widget compatible.

Quick Theme Tweaks

As can be seen from the picture above, the page navigation menu bar is centered just below the main site title. I personally do not like the navigation to be centered like this, but it is very easy to change. To have the navigation menu on the left, it is simply a matter of changing one word in the stylesheet (style.css). In the Menu styles, #navlist section simply change the line text-align:center; to text-align:left; (or text-align:right;).

Also, to add a tagline to the theme it is simply a matter of adding the line < h2>< ?php bloginfo('description');?>< /h2> just below the main H1 title tag in the header.php theme file (ignore spaces when adding to theme). An example of the tweaks can be seen below.

To download the theme, visit the Newsportal page here.

Tech-o-Crunch is a new three column theme for WordPress and is a very clean looking and Zen-like look and feel. The theme is designed by Omer Cakarca. It features nice, easy on the eye, text fonts and large headings for easy readability. An entire column is dedicated to Adsense ads by default, however this is optionable if so required.

Tech-o-Crunch is widget-ready for easy sidebar customization and also included in the download is the PSD file (PhotoShop) for easy editing of the graphic and logo on the header.

Overall, the Tech-o-Crunch theme is very modern looking, has a great Zen-like feel and also looks very Web 2.0. Definitely a theme for today’s blogger.
