Techcrunch Changes Its Theme Again!! Oh Come On

Steven Finch — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:26:33 +0000

Techcrunch has changed their theme yet again. A few months ago the theme was changed for the 3rd time in a year and I thought it was really moving in the right direction. The navigation was clean, there were a lot more options to find the articles you are looking for, and the theme had some colour and character.

Techcrunch today have launched a new theme which keeps the same navigation principles but totally gets rid of all the character and colour on the page.

Let me know what you think!

Steven Finch — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:36:28 +0000

There are so many publishers out there that are just learning what Wordpress is and how they can actually make money from blogging. The easiest advertising network to join is Adsense from Google. Adsense provides users the ability to earn money every time one of their readers clicks on an ad. Recently I was looking through free Wordpress themes in search of the most basic template I could find which have adsense blocks as standard and in which optimise those positions to bring in the most revenues for the blogger. After all my searching I thought I might even compile a list of ten themes that I think everyone should use when they are first starting to blog on Wordpress.

Brian Gardner’s Revolutiontwo.com is Down and No Longer Free

Steven Finch — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:08:27 +0000

I was on Brian Gardner’s new project RevolutionTwo.com and previous there has been a lot of talk about this project, because he was offering free downloads but with paid support. This afternoon I went onto his new site and noticed that you can no longer download the themes for free and that they are now all paid themes. I find this a bit of a weird mood by Brian, is this because he was simply just not making any money from paid support?

I went back onto the site a couple of minutes ago and noticed that the site is now down due to a database error. Is this because it has been hacked or it Brian updating something? Anyone have any tips?

Firefox 3: Top 3 Themes to Download. Go Upgrade Now

Steven Finch — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:31:30 +0000

The majority of Firefox 3 users are still using Firefox 2, but it is now time to upgrade to Firefox 3! Already here on Crenk we have covered Firefox 3 Download day and 7 Firefox add-ons to help you browse anonomously, but we thought it was time that we covered some Firefox 3 themes that we thought you should go and download right now. These themes are worth upgrading for.

Phoenity Reborn – A colorful theme with multiple icon sizes to customize your browser buttons. This theme is totally compatible with Firefox 3 and might even just brighten up your day at work. Well probably not really.

Walnut – This has to be one of the sexiest Firefox 3 themes out there. It kinda looks like a wood grain dash board, but I must admit I would much rather be sitting in a car with this as interior than playing around on Firefox.

Red Cats -Well im not too sure if this should be called red cats, should be orange cats. This theme has some great extensions and it also comes in blue, you can ask for more than that.
