Wordpress Theme: Sleek

RecommendedWordpress Theme Screen Shot Of Sleek
——
It is highly recommended that you will use Widgets to control the sidebars.
Widgets are supported on the latest version of WordPress, version 2.3.
To make the theme look better, please use the plugin called PageBar.

About Sleek
——-
Sleek is a relatively new theme produced by Markie Designs, the idea is to make it easier for newcomers to WordPress to control their blog for example supporting widgets as much as possible, as well as popular plugins readily integrated into WordPress.
Widget support, Widgets are a relatively new product coming from WordPress and in my opinion the best thing on WordPress, using these widgets allows you to control your blog without the need for HTML knowledge which is a large reason why I have chosen to add widget support.

There is only two sidebars with a small box above them, this box allows you to place what ever text you like using widgets, this allows you to use the about me widget if you like or just the general text widget and place information about your blog.
The other two sidebars are mostly used for categories, archives and what ever else you can fit on it.

If you know something about CSS the sheet style is layed out to make it easy for you, it has comments separating each section.

Browser Compatibility
——-
The theme has been tested under:
Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6
FireFox 2.0

Please if anyone runs anything different tell me if the theme is compatible or report any bugs.

    Nice themes.
    Style switcher is only on 2 though and it redirects to the main page.
    I like the sleek theme, padding on it is actually a litle better than the blue theme.
    Saying that though I love the header in the blue theme.

  4. Comment Mike

    I’ve added the theme switcher to the other themes.

    Thanks for the feedback :D, will add some more padding on blue.
