If you are a regular reader on Ninety Nine Ways then you will have noticed the theme change to Fresh News by WooThemes. Last month I won a contest and managed to get my hands on the theme which I had originally intended to use on one of my other blogs but after using it for a little while I thought that it would be a good fit for this site too.
Getting it set up was really easy and at the moment I am still working on customizing it so some things may change over the next few days but nothing too major. Some of the things are a bit more time consuming than others but the support forums have proven to be an invaluable resource where I have been able to get the right fixes to get things looking the way I want them to look or working the way I want them to work.
If you are on WordPress and you don’t already have one, you should seriously consider getting yourself a premium theme. From my experience so far, WooThemes would be a very good option. They have feature rich themes to fit all sorts of blogs, customizing themes is relatively easy, different homepage layouts and colour schemes are available for a lot of the themes, most if not all have widegtized sidebars, for all your queries on what to do to fix something they have excellent support forums and the list goes on.
You too can get your hands on a WooThemes theme to see what they are all about for the following:
- Standard Package from $70 (Bonus 2-for-1 offer)
- Developer Package from $150 (Bonus 3-for-1 offer)
- Standard Club Membership $125 + $15/month thereof
- Developer Club Membership $200 + $20/month thereof
Or, you can come back to Ninety Nine Ways at the start of next month to see how you can win a Standard Theme Package and save yourself $70. There may be more than just a WooThemes theme you can win so make sure to come back then.
I think this is a nice theme I use it on my blog and I have seen other good themes over at Woo Themes. I find it a bit difficult to customize, but I guess it’s also because I’m still learning my way in wordpress.
But I’m begining to enjoy my experience with wordpress.
Before you know it you will be able to do a lot without even thinking about it. As I said in the post, the support forums are a very good place to start. Just keep on learning as much as you can. You will have plenty of fun learning about all there is to learn.
Woo themes are really slick themes. I think the only problem sometimes is that newbies couldn’t customize it that much because its not as easy as the other ones..
You are right, they do have slick themes. I tend to disagree with you when it comes to customising the themes. Their support forum has a wealth of knowledge to help you get things looking the way you want them to look and if they don’t have a solution for what you want to do all you need to do is ask and someone usually gets back to you with a fix (if there is one) in short space of time.
i like woo themes but mostly i use Thesis theme for my blogs and do some tweaks on the header and sidebar to give some unique look
Woo themes are also the most popular ones and seo frdly as well
