I am so thrilled that this time, my effort has been acknowledged by this super blog, Hongkiat.com!

They just created a new Wordpress theme entry and my Red Light theme is on top of the list!

Why do I say that Hongkiat.com is a super blog? In my definition, a super blog needs to have 10,000+ subscribers, 10,000+ daily visitors and thousands of useful posts.

And these are the stats of Hongkiat.com
* Feed Subscribers: 12,000+
* Daily Visitors: 35,000+
* No. of Posts: 1100+

What is this site about?
Hongkiat.com is a mega directory for designers, tech users, and bloggers. It covers a wide range of design and IT topics from design ideas, tutorials to applications. You can find almost everything that is design-related. Visit Hongkiat now and you’ll know what I mean.

It is the one blog that I can’t do without. I incorporate a lot of ideas that I get from this blog in my theme design. To a big extent, I owe the success of my themes to this blog.

And now this wonderful site featured my themes. I am so excited that what I have been doing so diligently are getting some credits from this big guy. Nothing can express my excitement now. Thanks Hongkiat :Big Kiss:

I took more effort in the Red Light theme than others that I have created and I really like this one. This time, I used a lot of vector techniques in Photoshop Illustrator, thus giving you this artistic look.

I have created a few 3-column themes but this is the first one in my portfolio where there are two sidebars which are positioned on the left and the right side.
