I’m featuring it because it’s a little bit more than just domain parking. I like it because it gives the visitors the option to subscribe to your feed before the actual launch date. If you have a loyal following and are planning on launching a new blog, this would be perfect for you.

This theme is also useful for when your blog’s under maintenance and you need to close it down for a while.

For the less tech-savvy blogger, all you’ll need to do is set up your Feedburner feed and put in its ID through LaunchPad’s theme option page.

Orignally, I wanted to integrate Javascript in order to create an expandable and collapsible food menu layout. But after several tries with several different scripts, it didn’t work out that way. Therefore, this beta-release (version 0.1) does not include any Javascript. In the future, the official version 1 will include the Javascript to add the expandable and collapsible posts feature.

If you can help me make that happen, please leave a comment or contact me. Overall, this theme is work in progress and there’s a lot left to do.

Although this theme doesn’t have the eye candies, it’s one feature-packed theme. From customizable elements via theme options to integrated and configurable social bookmarks, it’s impressive. Good luck to anyone interested in writing a full review for this theme. It would be a time-consuming and overwhelming task.

The default color is red, but it has a style-switcher you can use to pick blue or green. And if you know how, you can add other colors to the style-switcher. Use the blue or green style sheet as your guide. The style-switcher makes it easy to participate in projects like Pink for October.

Also, My Avatars plugins has been integrated with the comments template, but the avatars will not show up unless you have that plugin installed.

This theme uses the optional excerpt and two custom fields: Thumbnail, and Thumbnail Full (case sensitive).The values of Thumbnail and Thumbnail Full should be the addresses of the images attached to each post. Thumbnail is for the small image and Thumbnail Full is for the bigger one. Learn how to use WordPress image uploader and custom fields.

At least, make sure the first ten entries of your blog use those custom fields and have optional excerpts. Ideally, you want to use this for a new blog as the need for two images and an optional excerpt for each entry is a bit of work for established blogs with hundreds of entries.

However, you can easily tweak it for an established blog with many entries, if you know how that is. (Another version will be created for established blogs to easily adopt this theme.)

Example of excerpt and custom fields:

Features

• News / Magazine-styled front page layout
• A sub-page design for single post view
• Integrated Domtab
• Separated Comments and Trackbacks through Domtab
• Flexible sidebars that change location and styles depending whether you’re viewing the front page
• Widget-ready sidebars (unlike some of the other magazine-styled themes out there)

Installation / Activation

1. Upload this folder to your themes folder at: wp-content/themes
2. Log into WordPress administration and click on “Presentation”
3. Look for the Jello-Wala-Mello image and click on it to install / activate this theme
4. Go back to your blog’s front page and refresh / reload it

Download(s)

• Jello Wala Mello version 0.1
• .psd files

Usage

• By default, the second horizontal menu displays only three category links to prevent over-loading that second menu with too many links. To add more category links: open header.php and find wp_list_categories(’hierarchical=0&title_li=&include=1,2,3′). 1, 2, and 3 are examples. Add your own category ID numbers to add more category links to that menu.
• Use the ads-300×250.php file for advertisments.
• To replace the ads with a list of your most popular content links: open index.php, look for ads-300×250.php, and change it to domtab.php. Modify the domtab.php file to fill in your own list of links.

For two months now, you’ve been egging me to release this theme. It’s only right that I release it as Envy of the Seven Deadly Sins theme series.

Although this public release is far from the original debut, I’d like to think it’s still a good looking theme, great for blogs that need lots of main-column space.

Changelog:

• August 09, 2007 - Removed link to Wpdesigner forums in the comments template.

I’ve been a sucker for bold, stylish, and clean themes like IAMWW w2 lately. I hope it’s just a phase.

If anything at all, this theme proves that you’ll get my attention if you use a huge post title font size! Although stylish, this isn’t the easiest theme to modify. At least, it won’t be easy for newbies to modify. It’s important to note that IAMWW w2 is based on Upstart Blogger Minim.

The one thing I’d like to see removed or fixed is the inline CSS.

Comments by Small Potato

I’m starting to like Sandbox. Hopefully, I will get to do a more detailed design with many page-to-page variations to display the full potential of Sandbox.

For Wrath, I ran out of ideas for details because it felt right to stop. Without the rounded corners and mini icons, I know it doesn’t feel like a design by yours truly. But, I felt that those characteristics and adding more to it would have cluttered it.

Wrath is simple, sharp, and I painted it bright red, unlike the soft, rounded corners, and dark red of Lust.

This theme marks the fourth release of the Seven Deadly Sins theme series. Check out the previous releases: Lust, Pride, and Greed.

Right now is 11:12 PM. I thought I had to wait until tomorrow to have time to wrap up everything for this theme’s release. After painstakingly long hours of trying to get all the details in place for this theme through coding, I can’t express how much of a relief to finally release it. I’m loving Lust! Now, I can stretch, kick back, and relax.

Here’s the behind the scene image compilation of Lust. Warning: It’s a big file (677kb).

p.s. - Initially, I wanted the banner to feature a pair of breasts with curvy brushes and textures covering the nipples. And, I wanted to promote it as the only theme that would make you blog more often. Luckily for you, I reconsidered. Hahaha. I kid! I kid.
