What’s the hot topic in the Internet recently? Yea, no doubt a lot of people, especially tech bloggers, are talking about Google Chrome. What is Google Chrome? It’s a browser by Google! That’s really a buzz, isn’t it? I have not yet fully tested this new browser, but what I found impressive is the simple and clean interface. It supports tab browsing, and several features which you can learn more about it here.

Guess what? Some kind souls out there have made such simple and clean interface into a blog theme which you can use for your blogs! If you are a fan of 2 columns, white and clean layout, this is a theme that you will definitely suit your taste.

You can always download the latest WordPress release and upload to your host. And start to do the installation manually, just like how you setup a WordPress blog in your own local computer.

Most hosting plans include a bundle of pre-install scripts in your control panel (eg. CPanel, DirectAdmin). There are several script library like Fantastico, Installatron, etc. (depends on your host provider). To make life easier, you can always install your WordPress blog via the script installer. Learn how to install WordPress using Fantastico. It’s more or less the same for other script installer.

Now you have WordPress installed, and you probably don’t want to stick to the default K2 theme, which looks so plain and not attractive. Although content is the king, first impression is also very important. What to do next? Search for your desire WordPress theme! There are plenty of free themes available.

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.
