I don't know if you're aware, but there are a couple of plug-ins to help organize your blog better.

Here's another one I'm just working on...
It's really not a blog but a very simple info site.

My latest Wordpress and Atahualpa Site

http://www.walesantiques.co.uk

hi. i've been using atahualpa to build cms websites. my latest is just about ready for production. the client will add korean text to the home page and will add to the business directory using posts. i need to learn how to alpha order the directory and write guidelines (with screenshots) to show the client how to add to the site.

i welcome your comments. http://www.7pineplaza.com

The "AStickyPostOrderER" plugin may help you in sorting the posts the way you want.

Well decided to throw my hat in. This is my first public Atahualpa site: http://inspirationalrisk.com/ its not totally finished but complete enough to be published.

@lmilesw - thanks for the plugin tip. it worked great to order the posts! it doesn't reorder the posts automatically (i have to go into the plugin to do that) but the end result is cool.

i appreciate it!

nice site. i like the look. how did your get the dark bar to span the window across the top? i usually set a fixed width; is that the effect of using a % width?

Really nice!

I really like your layout. Very clean and simple.

Every time I check this thread, I am inspired all over again!

I still have some work to do but here are mine.

MoneyTrina.com

Like I said, I'm still tweaking the designs such as figuring out how to get a widget box to the right of my image on QueenKatrina.com but I think they are all starting to pull together nicely.

Here's mine. Just finished doing it!

Let me know what you guys think!

Hi mnl

Thanks for the complement and sorry for the time it took to reply (I need to set an auto email to my post).

On the issue of the background: I used a fixed width of 960px for the site but have a background image spanning the body which is different from the header (http://inspirationalrisk.com/wp-cont..._bgd_trans.jpg), sort of decieving the eye to believe it is one single image. Hope that answers your question (am a visual designer and sometimes fail to use the correct terms so feel free to let me know if am unclear).

@Karl and @ChaseMann, thanks for the comments.

Thanks Kal, I debated for a long time if I should use them or not. I decided I liked them as well. Most people have a fast enough internet service that the embedded fonts wouldn't slow it down too much.

Thanks ChaseMann!! I am writing the content. When I first put it up I included the intro post in all the categories so they would show up on the navigation tabs. More for me to know what it would look like then anything else.

As for the social buttons. I found the original RSS on and like the style. So, I make a set to match. You are more then welcome to use them if you would like.

Finally getting it near how I want. I am going for very clean and simple so the photos stand out but the content type articles need the header to stand out a little more so I am going to come up with a logo and header styling. I'm very happy with my setup of having instructional articles outside the main loop though, and how the archives display :)
Ooh ooh and check out my background color switcher.

Hello all,

i've updated http://www.grifin.pt.
Now the front page is using a jquery code + CSS + html to fade in and out some slides.
Code is all inserted into the Atahualpa Theme Options.
Not using any wp-plugin or other code change in wp or Atahualpa.

Here's mine:

www.thegourmandandthepeasant.com

I'm really proud of it, considering I am code averse. Hope you like it!

I think you forgot an "e". Nice site:
http://www.thegourmandandthepeasant.com/

yup. duh. I need to hired a spell checker/forehead slapper.

Thanks for catching that.

This is my professional site ... Atelier Nxious
And one made for a client http://marketing-dynamique.com/

My second Atahualpa site: http://teachmewp.com
It's still a bit rough around the edges. The old site was terrible. It's for a Podcast, and I wanted something that would showcase the current episode. I think this does it well.

This is my Atahualpa WP site since last February. It's a "superlocal" news site in Montreal.

I work hard to made a new, more magazine or newspaper-like version within the theme options but it's very difficult without a lot a coding (and I'm still a dummy at this).

I'll would also like to customize the fonts (with Cufon maybe) but it does'nt work.

My Legal Blog - Divorce Law CA

http://divorcelawca.com

I'm incorporating the original header because it is what originally lured me into using this template. My intent is to attract readers with providing free information on a do it yourself divorce, later modifying it into either a firm website or a paying DIYS. I'm not an experienced webmaster and I'm amazed at the simplicity and flexibility of Atahualpa. This forum is truly invaluable - thanks to all the contributors.

Please have a look at my site and share your comments.

Cheers!

Very clean and to-the-point - an excellent example of the simplicity, beauty and functionality of Atahualpa.

I almost feel sorry that I am not seeking a divorce in California http://forum.bytesforall.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

This is still - in progress - but I am using these wonderful theme on Save-Elot.com - with a custom widget in the header.

The tabbed widget is created by the plugin - section-widget - and I love it because you can actually hide or show your widget area depending upon category. This really gives the Atahaulpa theme the power of many expensive themes that include this feature.

I am going for a more retro or "hippy" look with boombaby.org - baby boomers forum website.

I run a lot of more traditional websites, but I love this theme because it lets me play around and have fun!

our newest :)

this is my first site http://www.naturalgasgrillsale.com that i am still working on it and learning more option in this theme.

Hi My name is Joe and I am CEO of mwd.com was looking for theme for long time that I can build it my way thus my knowledge of php.

Anyway, since our blog is highly visited by tech people I am trying to update it for past few hours, just so people don't have much to brag about the new layout.

So far I have been working on it for past 3 hours and you can see example what I already accomplished. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.


This is best theme I ever downloaded or moded.

Gladly switched from Thesis and other framework's

Joe... Your site proves you don't have to be "flashy" and complex to be effective. Nice job.

Thank you. Only problem I still have is that "search are" that shows "white" but only in IE. Wasn't able to find CSS for it (yet). Works fine in FF.

I'm not sure why it is needed but putting this in CSS Inserts appears to fix the search box issue in IE. I added the margin-left as it looked a little cramped to me.

hi joe,

like your simple site design, one question for you did you made lot of change in the code or is this can be done by using atahualpa theme option.

I have made modest modifications to Atahulapa for my Watching YouTube blog. The blog is primarily new/resaerch items, targeting researchers.

My design goals are ease of navigation, clean look, minimal clutter. Pages have consistent look and feel.

Recently removed one sidebar (left) to reduce visual clutter and added Dig Dig Facebook and Twitter icons to increase sharing of items.

Nothing sexy or clever about my design -- I have made no CSS alterations.

SupraTT -

I love what you've done - I use Atahulapa for my cooking blog too! Can you tell me how you got the thumbnail images to show up next to the search results? For instance, I searched "pasta" in the search form and I see all the little pics from the relevant posts. I've been trying to figure that out for days! Thanks - Emily www.thegourmandandthepeasant.com

And again a new design ready: http://www.verenigingswerk.nl/ :)

Two new websites, also based on Atahualpa theme.

The Fantastic Mom (for my wife)

Review Horizon (mine)

I think I checked over 50 themes by now. Nothing comes even close to Atahualpa in terms of sheer flexibility.

Thank you!!!

Here's one I made for my friend Jennifer DailyDemitasse.com and not sure if I shared before, but here is my own coffee website MyCoffeePro.com

I have a super-secret one I'm creating for a client right now, but as soon as her business goes "live" then I'll post the link to it.

I just love the fact that I can manipulate Atahualpa so much to create very different looks.
Every time I attempt to use another theme, I get quickly frustrated by their lack of flexibility.

Cheers,
Chase.
