SmallBiz_3 Theme for Wordpress

October 23rd, 2005 by admin in Wordpress Themes & Plugins

This website is based on Wordpress. The theme used is tailored to the content presented – mostly in the form of articles than blog posts. The theme is hence designed in a small business style rather than a typical blog style.

Please let me know your feedbacks after trying out the theme. Thanks !

    Throwing a business flavor onto this blog is ideal!

    Hope to find more works from you sometime.

    I really love your theme! :razz: I was wondering if it is offered in a two column form?

    WebtrafficJunkie,

    The following changes should be sufficient to convert into a 2 column theme. Basically, it will take out the right sidebar and expand the main body :

    1. In theme file index.php, cut out all code between

    –begin right-menu–

    –end right menu–

    2. In theme file style.css, modify
    .post
    {
    padding-right: 160px;
    }

    to

    .post
    {
    padding-right: 30px;
    }

    This should do the trick. I will certainly work on giving out a fully tested 2 column theme soon.

    Thanks !

    I just wanted to let you know that I have tried several times to modify my main blog to something other than the standard generic wordpress theme and screwed it up royally over and over again, returning back to the original BUT yesterday used your template and with a few glitches, figured it out and other than the header banner it came out quite nice, just wanted to let you know I’m really happy with your design and your instructions! Thanks again!

    Tammy,

    You may want to add a background image by modifying style.css:
    Of course, you have to upload the image as well.

    #header
    {
    background-image: url(images/yourimage.jpg);
    ……
    }

    Whether you add image or not, you may want to set the color of your header to either be visible on the picture, or on the white background if you don’t use an image. You can change the following in style.css:

    #header a:link, #header a:visited
    {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 24px;
    }

    #header a:hover
    {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }

    For color charts, you can refer:

    3-Columns in IE and FireFox

    [...] I’ve been having quite a bit of trouble re-working a custom Wordpress template to get it to show 3 columns correctly in both FireFox and Internet Explorer. The template I’m referring to is in use on my other blog Gangstas & Hugs. It’s based on a 3-column layout using VizmayaTech’s Business Template. The business layout was fine, but it was created mainly for business sites with a static front page. I wanted to use it for my “cultural commentary” blog, and wanted to have a column on either side that was easy to add content and lists to. When I modified the left and right columns via CSS and the template files, everything seemed fine, especially since I was using FireFox. The problem arose when viewing the blog in Internet Explorer 6.0. The columns were listed in the correct alignment horizontally, but vertically they were stacked according to the order they appeared in the template. [...]

    Great job on the theme! It does look more business like.

    Help…everything was fine then I cleaned my cookies and I no longer have a login to post on my blog. I noticed with this theme (which I love btw) there isn’t a log in like I had with the standard word press blog.

    I tried your wordpress login link (http://www.wahmconnections.com/blog/wp-login.php) and it does indeed show the login page. Was this the problem or am I missing something?

    Hi admin, I was wondering if it’s safe for me to upgrade to Wordpress 2 using your theme? Is it suitable for WP2 and if yes, do I need to upgrade any of the required plugins to higher versions?

  15. admin said,
    on January 21st, 2006 at 3:39 pm

    Hi Discounter,

    This website is already upgraded to WP2. I followed the upgrade procedure, and everything went fine for me. All plugins included with the theme started back fine – I didn’t upgrade the plugins.
    If you have additional plugins, please check whether they would work with WP2 before you upgrade.

    Hi again admin, thanks for the heads up on WP2, I’m still on WP1.5. Today I came across a problem I saw someone else who posted here have, my blog with your theme EXPLODED :( The theme is completely gone! I saw it for the first time after I finished todays updates, but I didn’t add any strange code in the last couple of posts I think. Do you happen to know how to fix this? I could delete todays posts to see if any of them caused it, but I’m not sure if that would accomplish anything…

  20. admin said,

    Discounter,

    Hmm.. That sounds like trouble. No, I haven’t seen this problem yet. I have 3 websites with WP 2.0 and vizmayatech theme. A slightly modified version is at http://www.vizmaya.com which is very active website – but not seen the problem yet.

    When you said “completely gone” does it mean the theme switched back to the default? Are you able to log into wordpress?

    I checked your website (http://www.buy-with-discount.com/) and it looks fine to me. Did you fix the problem yourself?

  21. Discounter said,
    on January 31st, 2006 at 12:11 pm

    Hiya Admin, the problem seems to have fixed itself? That’s odd, because what I saw 6 hours ago was basically a bland html page with just blue links, text and ads piled up on one another vertically. I forgot to take a screenshot, but it looked like your theme was missing. It didn’t show the default Kubrick theme either, yet logging in was no problem. I’ll probably upgrade to WP2 next month to be sure it uses the latest tech. Thanks for checking it out.

    This is great, however NOT browser compatible, nor is it viewable in 800×600 (yes, I know, FF and 1024 minimum are best – however everyday internet users do NOT).

    I’ve been having a terrible time trying to make this theme work fluidly in FF, IE, and in all resolutions. It just is NOT happening.

    I’m quite disappointed, as I was really looking forward to using this theme on many of my client’s websites…

  23. Jeanne said,

    I am using FF and the tabs for browsing. When I click on my blog, the tab says the URL of the blog instead of the name. Is there a way that I can change that so the name of the blog shows up instead of the URL? What file do I edit, and where do I make this change? Thanks, and I love your theme!

    I’m very new to this, and I can’t figure out if smallbiz3 has a Page option. It doesn’t look like it, but I probably wouldn’t recognize it if I saw one. I have a lot of static content that I could use a Page format for. If it isn’t there, any tips on how to gen it up myself? Love the layout: clean, crisp, classy. Thanks!

    Hey there. I represent a client who would like to use your theme, but with some modifications. We need this in 2 days, and it would be a paying contract gig. Contact me if you are available.

    Thank you for the Theme! It looks great and I like that it is fixed width.

    I have a small problem and one wish.

    The long comments are covered up by the adsense ad see here: http://site.xoxgift.com/mosca/2006/05/03/hello-world/#comments

    so can you help me prevent that?

    Wish: I would like to use the 160×600 ads, so what settings do I change? I tried to fudge it my self, but could not do it

    Thank you.

    I’m having difficulty getting the theme to work in MSIE, which displays the right column, then the body below that, then the left sidebar below the body.

    Also, I have 250-pixel-wide ads in the right column. Any assistance GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank you for the very nice theme!

    I’ve been trying to customize it all day and can’t quit figure out how to change the urls in the header. I want them to be external links is this posible?

    Also, I can’t figure out how to get the title in the browser window — all I see is “Mozilla” where normally I would see the website name.

    Thanks much!

    on September 12th, 2006 at 10:09 pm

    Holly,

    You may add more links to the navmenu in the header template.
    External links should also work.

    Great theme. Many thanks. My 3 column desire had me looking all over the place. I’m a beginner at this and I havent had too many serious obstacles to tweaking things but I dont know how to show the blogroll on the front page. This would be a great help.

    Hi, great theme and I have set it up and changed header. I am new to this and have been trying to include an rss feef, which I can get to show but when clicked says something like cannot use XLM with XLS stylesheet.

    There is a problem with this template in IE6. If you change in any way the left sidebar, i.e. you have many posts-categories, or you want to change the looking of the sidebar, the background color slips below the category titles. Search in Google for VizmayaTech and you will see that most sites with this template have a misplaced left sidebar. In Firefox everything works well. Otherwise this a great template.
