Awesome theme, good job.
Alex, the theme looks great! My favorite parts are the butterfly and the red
Kidding, I believe it will be a hit 
Thanks for share…
Anyway…can I replaced the butterfly pic with another one?
Jayce, of course you can. There’s no restriction in that.
Very attractive theme Alex, looks excellent. Congrats.
Very gorgeous theme. Thanks for sharing!
Impressive, I should say. I like the fact that you add monetization elements in it.
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;
}
Maybe this is just me, but I like to have a Edit post link for logged users. I know this is easy to do it myself, but would’nt it be nice to have it by default. Pretty please!
@Eugen: Got that. Will be built with the next update.
Thankz, Very Nice Theme!
I have added in my blog post here 7 Creative Out of Box Free Wordpress Themes
oh wow.
Very nice theme I will use it.
Thanks a lot!
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.
Hi, Alex,
Great theme! I’ve played around with others but keep coming back to SimpleBalance – so easy to customize.
Question: I am more of a spot logo person and tried to modify the header type to make it a little more noticeable – not working too well. Is there any way I can use a logo (clickable to return home) instead of the type header?
Thanks!
Pamela, I’ll write and publish a tutorial on this matter this weekend, so check back here to find out how.
Alex – you are the best! Thanks so much – I’m subscribed and staying in touch.
My best to you.
