First of all, I would like to congratulate Blog2Life (B2L) for releasing their free debut WordPress theme named Word Press’d, and this new theme has received an overwhelming response of 500 downloads early this July.

What is Word Press’d and how does it look like?

Directly quoted from B2L:

Word Press’d aims to give Wordpress users around the world the chance to make their blog look similar to the highly anticipated Wordpress Admin Theme release with version 2.5.

The theme tries to incorporate the best parts of the Admin theme while at the same time add customisability, compatibility and suitable to serve as a blog template while at the same time be visually attractive and have a light quick loading framework.

I really appreciate this theme. It is really similar to the new WordPress 2.5 admin control panel. If you are a WordPress 2.5 fan, you may love to turn your blog into a Word Press’d blog.

According to B2L, they are going to release version 4 soon.  In the upcoming version, they are going to include a Tabbed Sidebar Widget.

I always encourage everyone to get site updates via the RSS reader. As a blog reader, you can save up a lot of time and just sit down in front of your feed reader, let it grab all the latest updates of your favorite blogs/websites. As a blogger, you can let the RSS feature send updates automatically to your subscribers, keep them up-to-date with your blog.

Now, how are you going to impress your reader to subscribe to your feed (RSS)? Make your RSS icon as attractive as possible, make it obvious to your readers. Sometimes, I find not so straight forward to locate a blog’s feed. Once, I wanted to subscribe to a blog but it really took me few minutes to look for the orange RSS icon.

There are plenty of RSS icons available for downloads. Here is a collection of great RSS icons that I found from the Internet.
