Neat and clean WP Theme with three columns – Grid Focus

by | Jan 12, 2009 | Critique

The New Year 2009 gift for wordpress users is a first and fresh Grid Focus Theme. This theme is the first theme of the year. This beautiful, grid based design is among one of the best and most customizable themes I have ever used.

The theme is designed by Derek Punsalan of 5thirtyone.com , it features a neat three column layout, an amazing navigation bar and integrated links.

The theme is available for wordpres.org as well as wordpress.com users. However the top menu bar can only be customized by altering the CSS. The theme includes the three side bars out of which two are visible simultaneously.

The three sidebars are:
1. Primary – Index
2 .Primary – Post
3. Secondary – Shared

The earlier Grid Focus was altered by Bloggerbuster last year for the blogger users. But the elegance and dynamism of sidebars which can be seen in the latest wordpress version was missing in the Blogger version. The front page icon is synced with your Blavatar. The blue icon that appears on the front page of Grid Focus by default will change to your Blavatar if you’ve uploaded one. You can also make a photo gallery on this theme.

The secondary shared is the fixed side bar and is on the right side. where as the middle side bar dynamically changes for the home page and the posts as shown.

I hope you would love the theme. Hopefully there are many more to come in the following year.
