Hey guys, today I’m proud to announce that through my design studio – QBKL Media – I’ve released Bold, a smart, minimal and clean CV / resume template packed with nice features.

Bold is a minimal and clean one-page CV / resume template featuring print-ready and mobile-ready versions, downloadable PDF version generated on-the-fly, working Ajax contact form, jQuery lightbox gallery and social media section. It is also very easily editable and configurable.

You might wonder how Bold could help you, the blogger? Well, behind every blogger is a professional and truth is, no matter how much information you add to your resume and how much expertise you have, presentation is a key element.

The setup and configuration of the template is easy and straight forward and basically the time between the moment you finish downloading and the moment you have your full CV online is just a matter of how fast you type!

The Bold CV/resume HTML & PHP template is available for sale through the ThemeForest marketplace at the low price of $10 ($8 for the registered users with cash deposits).

It’s time to look good, be that online professional that everybody talks about!

One month and 2000 downloads later, the new version of the Simple Balance Free WordPress theme is released.

New options have been added – along with the options of Simple Balance 2.0 – to the theme’s control panel, including:

1. Easy to set up featured post (does not use categories);
2. Google AdSense alternative for both the top and right sidebar ad space;
3. Easy to set up email subscription form; *
4. Page selection for the top menu (only selected parent pages will be displayed);
5. Two brand new color schemes: Blue Bubble and Curly Green

WordPress 2.7 is getting prettier

With each day that passes, the previews of WordPress 2.7 show us a more and more visually appealing application. After giving people a preview of the WP 2.7 Dashboard (which by the way, Rocks!), the devs are now looking for the perfect icon designer to create an original icon set for WP’s main administration menu.

It’s actually the first time when WordPress introduces icons for their menus and, if you think you got the skills (experience in the field is required), follow this link.
