The best thing about this theme is it’s great use of Web 2.0 colors and is an ideal theme for any technology-related blog or even a general website. The theme is widget ready and has been tested on both WordPress 2.0 and 2.1.

The Glossy Blue theme contains all required template files such as index or category view, search, comments, 404 error page, single view and a static page template.

I just came across a nice new theme by Pilkster on his new themey.com blog which has a great look and is based on the look and feel of the brand new Apple iPhone. As you can see from the screenshot the theme is a single column theme but it is very eye-catching and professional looking. The normal sidebar contents are displayed below all of the posts.

The iPhone theme is built on the famous K2 structure which makes it easy to adapt to suit your needs and it also should support a wide variety of plugins out of the box. The theme also supports pagination and has a built-in options page. This is a nice theme that’s sure to be popular.

For a full and comprehensive review of the iPhone theme you can visit the Theme Critic.

It’s great to see that the Misty Look Theme has been upgraded to Version 3. The theme is designed by Sadish on WpThemePark.com and it has some really nice extras.

Custom Header Image

In version 3 you now have the ability to import your own header pictures directly in the presentation admin area. The pictures are then cropped to the right size and it will automatically become the new default header for you blog. This is the first WordPress theme to accommodate ‘Custom Header Image’ feature.

The theme also incorporates many other upgrades, in line with the recent release of WP 2.1, and the full list can been seen here.

Theme Features

MistyLook V3 has a lot packed into it for just one theme. Here is a short list of some of the features of this theme;

• Sidebar Widgets Compatible.
• Theme Options page allows you to exclude/sort Pages for the top Navigation bar. Options page also supports Asides. Asides are ‘quick bits’ of information you want to post. They do not have to look like a regular post.
• Includes Page Template for an Archives Page. Just create a new page and use ‘Archives’ as the Page Template.
• Includes Page Template for a Contact Page. Just create a new page and use ‘Contact’ as the Page Template.
• Includes Page Template for the Links Page, so you can display all the links you have in a separate page.
• 404 Template and Search Template too.

All in all, this is a great update to an already great theme. MistyLook is one of the highest downloaded themes on the Wordpress Theme Viewer site at the moment. It is also cool to see this theme being used by some of the Top Bloggers, such as John Chow dot Com blog and many others.

I would highly recommend this theme to anyone looking for a good solid theme. It looks great, it’s cleanly coded, has nice page templates and lots of cool features built-in. Recommended.

Plugins Supported

Anaconda has inbuilt support for 15 popular WordPress plugins out of the box. The theme is designed to work perfectly with all these plugins;

Widgets Supported

Anaconda is also 100% widget ready and provides 17 builtin WordPress widgets for you to extensively customize your site without writing or modifying a single line of code! The following widgets are integrated into the Anaconda theme directly, or are available as a separate plugin/widget;

The Anaconda Theme will work, without any configuration, right out of the box. However, it has been designed to be extensively customizable for those who need it. Customizations can be easily done using the Anaconda Options control panel in the Presentation theme menu. The theme has built-in support for inline and sidebar asides. It also supports Ajax commenting, Live search, fixed width layout if required.

Hoofei V4 is an excellent looking two column Wordpress theme with a blue, green and white color scheme. It is a simple and clear theme. If you are thinking of changing your own theme, this one is well worth looking at.

A live demo can be seen at www.hoofei.com

This is Hoofei’s 4th wordpress theme and they just keep getting better and better. The only slight drawback with this theme is the fact that this theme is not widget-ready. However, when a theme looks this good, it is easy to overcome this by getting creative with the clearly written sidebar.php code.

Installation

As usual, simply extract the hoofeiv4.zip file to your theme directory, wp-content/themes/. Then log in your wordpress Administration Panel and activate the theme.

Integrated Plugins

WP-PageNavi - Hoefei has integrated the WP-PageNavi Plugin by Lester Chan into this theme so you don’t need to download and install it. And don’t worry it will be wrong if you have installed this plugin before, I have renamed the function in plugin code. )

Required Plugins

Gravatar 2 - This is an updated version of the original Gravatars plugin by Skippy. Important: You must install this plugin for this theme.

Conculsion

An excellent and fast loading theme worthy of gracing your blog. To download please visit the Hoofei Version 4 Theme page. Have fun!
