Free WordPress Theme: MagicBlue

magicblue.jpgMagicBlue - a fixed-width 2-column, free WordPress theme, with a right hand-sidebar, enabled for widgets. It’s also got gravatars, as WordPress Themes now insist on and post comments were separated from pingback/trackbacks, until WP 2.7 version.

The theme has been tested on Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and Opera 9.

Update 2009-Aug-01: MagicBlue development has moved here - theme updated for WP2.8 and several added options.
Demonstration: MagicBlue Demo

    I love this theme! THANKS!
    Would you consider creating other versions with the exact same layout and header - just other colors? Such as Magic Orange, Magic Green etc.

    Joyful greetings -

    Great Theme! I am new to the blogging world - how can I change the Header? Do I do it through WordPress or my files under my website builder (StartLogic)? And anyone know the best website to go to learn basic HTML? Thank You.

    I love this theme. Would you consider adding a third sidebar or telling me how? Thanks for what you do!

    Is there a way in style.css to remove the blog title? I’d like to add an image w/ a logo and the text would be redundant…

    Thanks! Nice, nice work!

    Great theme, many thanks. Are you available for questions? Just put my first post up last night, and inserted an image on the left side of the post with the text wrapping. The right side of the image needs a buffer space around it - the text is right up on the image. How can I fix this? Many thanks for your time!

    Great theme. Is there a way to center the page links in the header instead of them being aligned left and have them still look correct?

    Any plans to make this work with threaded comments in WP 2.7? If so that would be sweet!

    I can’t extract the new version file. Error: “Couldn’t find any archives”. Furthermore the zip file is even smaller than in versions before. Thanks for your great work. I really appreciate it.

    A few days ago was “Thank a plugin developer” day, so I’m a bit late, But; Thanks for the theme! It makes my site looks really cool. And although I’d like to get my own theme tailor-made, the designer of my own theme will have to put in a lot of work to make me change from MagicBlue. Again, thanks. It really ties the site together.

    Great theme,
    Any chance there will be a posibility for a pull down menu in the top (where subpages can be clicked?)

    Thanks :D

    Was wondering how you increase the size of the sidebar and move the dividing line? I changed the wrapper size which increased the sidebar size but I cant seem to find the place I can move the dividing line over. I increased the wrapper to 860.

    Does the sidebar show in single post views? I am using the WordPress default them by Michael Heilemann and the sidebar doesn’t show in single post views. That is why I am looking for something new.

    I also noticed that there are 2 Search options in the demo. One has a Go button and one has a search button? Is there a reason for 2 search options?

    Thanks for the awesome theme.
    But how can I remove the Home button.

    This is the only thing I don’t like about it.
    Thanks for your hard work

    I agree its a good theme - I have adjusted for my purposes but kept your link in there - thankyou. I’d love to be able to use Subscribe to Comments but it doesn’t seem to work even though I have installed the plug-in - any ideas?

    Hi,
    I am setting up this theme for my sister’s website. This is all pretty new to me and I love your theme and so does she. My one question is, when I made a page and made it a static page that the site opens to, I now have that page title as a page and also a “home” page link in the top and they both go to the same place. How do I get rid of the home page link in the pages bar? I looked in the edit theme section but could not find anything obvious to delete.
    Thanks

    Hi man, how did you get your PAGES with several links inside so you can click on (it’s like a dynamical menu on your website). Thanks to let me know if that’s a pluggin… I use a Wordpress Them (Magicblue something like that).
