I still remembered when I was a kid, my mom bought me a handcraft kit and I used it to make a greeting card. I thought of the moment and decided to make a theme that looks like it is handcrafted.

Of course, this one is much better than the one I made 20 years ago :)

    Hi there!
    First of all, CONGRATS for the lovely template!

    I just uploaded it to my blog (Url above) and noticed that 2 links columns were created. What can I do to leave the links in one column only?

    Thanks so much,

    • Brian says:

      Do you mean you want to change the 2 columns in the sidebar to just 1 column? If so, there’ll be big change in the coding and I am sorry that I have no time to work on it.

      I am not sure if you have made a right choice to switch to Wordpress.com because there are limited templates to choose from there. Most of the beautiful themes you saw, including mine work on Wordpress.org only.

    Hi, first of all I want to say how beautiful your work is!!!!!!!!! I love these themes.

    I am wondering though, is there a way that I can make the comments show rather than just the number of comments I have? Like I have 3 comments on the one post I’ve posted so far. But in order to view them you have to click on them. I’m looking for a theme that will just show them there. Or one of the many you have like the one I have up now.
