Pretty nice theme, i saw some Romanian bloggers already adopted it.
alexandru, could you drop me a mail with those links? Would be nice to link to some real examples to see the theme in action.
Hey, great job.
Wow…that’s a cool one… Awesome job Alex…
I like this theme but there are blue borders surrounding images which are linked.
I mean image links are surrounded by blue borders.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks everyone for downloading.
@Anand: Please re-download the package. Problem has been fixed along with some other small issues.
Generally speaking, the problem you had can be solved by adding this code to the style.css file:
a img {
border: none;
}

Wow! It’s great theme! I like it very much.
using it on my site. thx alot! GREAT THEME!!! although i changed things a bit.. i did like the empty ad banners. Plan to change the butterfly.
Fantastic theme!
But with the version PHP 5.0.4 of my host server don’t work.
In 5.2.6 it works correctly.
Could you tell me that I have to change so that it works in PHP 5.0.4?
Thank you.
Sergi, could you send me an email with the errors you encounter so that I can study the problem? Thanks.
Hello Alex, the most important problem is that it doesn’t show errors, for that reason I don’t discover as solving it.
I send you an mail so that you can check it.
Thank you.
Sergi, I’ve sent you an email reply. We’ll continue the discussion there. The problem seams to be with one of your plugins.
I love this theme, but is there a way to make my images show up on my main blog page without them having to go to individual posts pages?
YummY, I guess you are talking about displaying full posts instead of post excerpts.
If I’m right, all you have to do is to open the index.php, to look for this:
the_excerpt();and to replace it with this:
the_content(' Read more...');Yep. That did it. Thanks so much for helping.
[...] Yesterday I promised I’d tell you what I’ve been working on lately. Well, Simple Balance version 2.0 has just got out of development stage and for today will be in a testing stage across a few WordPress versions. If all goes well, tomorrow you’ll be able to download it and take it for a test drive. For now, version 1.0 is still available for downloads. [...]
