For Blogger/Blogspot Template Users
My themes are getting popular in the Blogger world 🙂 Since I authorized Bloggerstyles/Falconhive as my official WP-to-Blogger template converter last month, more and more Blogger users are using my templates. Recently, I receive quite a number of requests from the Blogger users who use my themes downloaded from Bloggerstyles/Falconhive asking me to solve some of the Blogger template issues. Since I am not the person doing the conversion, I can’t provide feasible solutions for your Blogger template problems. Here, I would like to clarify to all the Blogger template users that I do not provide support for Blogger related issues. All the Blogger template issues have to be directed to Bloggerstyles.com However, I want both the WordPress and Blogger template users to enjoy problem-free templates (template without functionality issues). To ensure that your issues posted on Bloggerstyles will be addressed, I have contacted Bloggerstyles’ owner and arrived at a solution. Bloggerstyles’ owner has assured me that he will address your Blogger template issue within 5 working days. However, if he fails to address your issue, you can forward to me by posting it on the theme page. I’ll then look into your issue personally and contact Bloggerstyles’ owner to facilitate the process. In this way, I hope I’ll be able to take care of my Blogger template users...

Read MoreWow! My themes are on Hongkiat.com
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...

Read MoreCertified Themes by ThemesPreview
I am happy to see that some of my themes have been certified by ThemesPreview.com. To add to my excitement, some of my themes are awarded GOLD status!! Some of you might not have heard about Themes Preview. Let me briefly describe what this site is doing. ThemesPreview is a WordPress theme directory listing some of the best themes with FREE downloads. If it is just a free WordPress theme directory, what is so great about this site when there are so many theme directories around? Let me get into some of the details. Firstly, it is not that easy to get a theme listed on ThemesPreview. A theme must fulfill the following basic criteria to get a free listing: – it must be able to get installed on the latest WordPress version – it must have quality graphic – it must be widget ready Needless to say, my themes fulfill those basic criteria. Secondly, the editor will test each and every theme against several criteria. Most of the tested criteria are code-related. This section is to test how well the designers code the theme. If the theme passes a criteria, points will be given. The editor will then compare the passed score with the tested score to come out with the total score of the theme. Now, to be awarded Bronze status, out of 100%, the theme has to score within 60-74%. To be awarded Silver status, the theme has to score within 75-89%. To get a Gold status, the theme has to score above 90%. I have done some statistic about the number of awarded themes out of all the themes listed on ThemesPreview. As of this writing, there are a total of 296 themes listed on that site. Out of which, 62 themes are awarded Bronze status. 26 themes are awarded Silver status. Only 8 themes are awarded Gold status. In other words, only 32% of all themes listed on ThemesPreview are getting Bronze status at least. Another thing you can tell from the statistic above is that a theme needs to have VERY clean coding to be awarded Gold status. Less than 3% of all themes are good enough to be awarded the status. Out of the 8 Gold themes currently listed on ThemesPreview, 4 of which are designed by Templatelite.com. This shows how much effort I put in to create my “babies” 😛 My principle is: Creating WordPress themes with high standard for FREE...
Read MoreMy themes are now featured on Themelib.com
I am a frequent reader of Themelib.com and today I went to the site and found out that 3 of my WordPress themes are listed there! Themelib.com is in my subscription list because this site releases timely and useful updates and resources. I notice that one of the topics that Themelib write about regularly is the featuring of WordPress themes. On closer look, most of the themes featured on Themelib are paid one. Yes. There are a lot of featured free themes but majority are for the Blogger platform. You hardly find WordPress themes that are free. I am honored that Themelib.com featured 3 of my themes. I only have 10 themes right now. If you want to find more free quality WordPress Themes, be sure to visit Theme Lib. And if you are looking for Premium WordPress Themes, you can’t miss...
