Reddybrek.com gets a new look

I've gone with a new theme on my blog to help give it more of a modern look. This theme is a relatively new one for BlogEngine so it looks a bit fresher than some of the other themes out there.

Out of the box this theme had a few bits wrong with it that I needed to patch up - mainly the 'comments form' section. The CSS was missing a few classes for the form so the 'Comment' 'Preview' tabs were a bit all over the place in IE. Still, it beats coming up with a new design from scratch - and it was free - so I'm not complaining :)

I also took the chance to upgrade my BlogEngine software to the latest version. This upgrade was so easy to do. Just run one database query and upload the files. That's it! I think it's the easiest upgrade I've ever made!!

I have some new posts about jquery and C# coming in the next few weeks that I'm currently busy writing up. If you have any suggestions for articles to write over the next few months feel free to get in touch.

Nice job on the theme, looks great.  Can you point me to where you got it, or maybe even your updated and improved version?

Agree that there aren't many themes out there for BE that're modern...mine included.  <chuckle>

Cheers,
AL

Hi Al,

Thanks for the comments Smile I got the link from here: www.themes4blogs.com/...ngine-Theme-typebased.aspx (the link is at the end of my site too).

Try the normal version first and if you have any issues with it let me know and I can give you the files as I'm using on my own site here.

I'll do a new blog post in the coming days on where to go for themes for BlogEngine as there are a few out there that are very nice but hard to find!

Good luck,
Rich

I downloaded the theme from themes4blogs.com but like your version better.  Any chance you can post your theme?
