Coffee Desk
Here it goes. The Coffee Desk, my newest theme that I am very proud of 
I should have released it last week but I got stuck in making the theme compatible with ALL major browsers. I have tried many ways in HTML and CSS but just couldn’t make it display well in major browsers. Finally, I am glad that I found the solutions using jQuery!
This is the first theme I created 3 months after the “Simple Style” theme. Sorry to let you all wait for so long but I will my best to release at least 2 quality themes per month. Hope you like the Coffee Desk theme and visit this site regularly for more releases in future!
Latest Version: 1.03

Things to take note
Header Links
1) Limit the number of the header links to 4 only. If you display more than 4 links, the “paper note” will overlap with the “coffee cup”.
2) Control the length of the links to within 2 lines.
Blog Title
Currently, the blog title is using the Arial font. You can change the font style by following this instruction:
- Open “header.php”
- Remove this code
<div id=”blogtitle”><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a></div>
- Save the file and upload to your server
- Open “images/bg_header.jpg” in image editing software
- Add your desired font and content to the image
- Save the image and upload to your server
Blog Description
If you don’t want to display the blog description, simply remove this line from “header.php”:
<div id=”subtitle”><?php bloginfo(‘description’);?></div>
Post Title
Coffee Desk theme allows up to 2 lines for the post title without distorting the design.
Bottom of the Content Area
The white space size below the content area is not a constant. Sometimes you’ll see a big gap, sometimes the gap is small and fits well. This is a design constraint and is not an error.
User Showcase
The followings are a few examples of nice modification of this theme from other users. You can view all the nice design in the forum theme showcase.

Whats the encoded string in template.php in this template? It looks like a virus and reports as one to some of my visitors, as I am using this on a site.
@Garth, template.php contains links to the advertisers who sponsor the theme. Since the theme is available for free and to prevent others from removing the links, I have no choice but to encode them. I assure you it is not a virus.
If you want to remove the credit links, you can purchase the ad removal package at $20.
Hope this clears your doubt
You should be proud. This is lovely!

I love the design.. Great job.. Quick question though. Does this design support -subpages?
@Neil, yes. The subpages links will be displayed in the sidebar.
Hi.
Is there any way that this can be changed into a Tumblr theme? I’m really in love with it and would love to use it for my Tumblr.
@Sara, this theme is available in Wordpress and Blogspot. As far as I know, this theme has not been converted to Tumblr.

Hi Brian,
I wanted to drop by and say I absolutely LOVE the work you do. I’ve been on this site so many times oogling your beautiful work. When I decided to redo the theme for my blog, the Coffee Desk theme was the one I chose (The one with the books was a close second). Anyway, I modified it a little and it not only works perfectly, but my readers are thoroughly enjoying it. They said they feel like they are peeking at my notes.
If you have a chance, come on by and check it out. It can be found at http://bloggingwithoutablog.com
I hope you like what I did.
Thank you again. Your fabulous work in not going unnoticed.
@Barbara, good to hear that you like my themes. And the slight modification of the theme looks fantastic on your blog
