While not as sophisticated as many of the sites listed here, my Watching YouTube blog shows what a non-css coder and fairly green blogger can do with the Atahualpa template in a few days.

I find my current layout to be a bit busy -- something I hope to correct over time. My main concern is readability and ease of use. Blogs, like newspapers, can be a bit messy at first look but are nonetheless easily navigated and digested by the regular reader.

Nonetheless, I am humbled and inspired by the many excellent uses of the Apahuala template see in this thread.

I have used Jooma (Rochettheme) and still do for Strangelove.com but find WordPress to be MUCH easier for simple content management and page/post updating.

Flynn's Atahualpa theme is well worth charging $50 to $80 and is an extraordinarly user-friendly and flexible product.

I'm still working with it, but Atahualpa is by far one of the best Wordpress Themes I've found. Here's how my blog looks at the moment: Cosy Little World.
I wanted to make rotating quotes for the header, at the moment I'm using the Tag Line, but I guess I'll just make multiple headers with diferrent quotes.

Thanks for the kind words, Vikram. The catalogue perk is a feature of WP Shopping Cart plugin. It's a little clunky but really does a nice job. Can't beat the price!

I just created a personal blog using this theme. It is great to say the least.
I tried to keep it as simple as possible. Didn't really change it too much from its default settings:

Hi all,

I'm the managing editor of Babalu Blog and during early february we made the switch from an outdated version of Movable Type to WordPress. I was looking for a good 3-column theme that I could customize to maintain the original look and feel of our 2-column MT blog. I downloaded Atahualpa and love it. Flynn has been great in answering questions. If you're using Atahualpa show your appreciation by making a donation.

P.S. I call our version of Atahualpa "Hatuey". Hatuey was a Cuban indian chief.

It's still very much a work in progress as I continue to explore and discover the wonderfulness of Atahualpa ...

A week ago I hadn't used anything more teccy that 'Word' or 'Excel'.

With this wonderful theme and the support of this fantastic forum, I now have a website that I feel is ready for the world to see.

It's not entirely 'there' yet but it's certainly on the way ....

Thank you SO much

We are about to launch a global website for a big event. We are working on content, but I would appreciate the comments.

"Echoes of Apollo" The World's Biggest Space Party and You're Invited! www.echoesofapollo.com

It is a big site!

Well, I'm getting there.

This is "WordPress as a CMS" and this theme makes it soooo easy. No blogging, no subscribers, comments, etc. "Just the facts, m'am." (You are ready for Social Security, if you know that reference).

It is frustrating that there is no way to center the logo. It's not in the Theme control panel and I can't figure out where o insert code in the files to force it. This should definitely be considered for the next upgrade.

As soon as the site owner provides photos, a Photo Gallery page will be created using the fantastic FunnyZoom plugin.

Likewise, I've installed only one header image. The one that is there today is made up of borrowed photos and it too is waiting for the site owner's photographer to provide material.

I welcome suggestions and feedback.

BTW- that Apollo site is awesome. At first I thought it cluttered. The I began digging into the material. Very impressive.

I am thoroughly delighted with this theme.

I'm new to Wordpress, but have worked with enough site software to recognize a spectacular product. This is an excellent template. It's very easy to use, and my site is dang near designing itself! About a year ago I opted for the paid version of a popular php directory software, even paying extra to join the support forum. Being new to php I had a handful of simple issues with my site I couldn't resolve even after reading most of their forum. To date, I never did get any answers to those questions. lol I had to figure it out for myself by trial and error. I'm very impressed with the level of assistance I see here, especially considering that you don't charge for the product.

I was looking for something a little different than my other blogs for this new one. Found Atahualpa and decided to give it a try. The result http://www.expression-web-tips.com/

Had a problem with it validating but checked the forum and found a fix. Still needs some tweaking but I like it. I do want to combine the styles in the header.php with the static style sheet. Need to be careful though as I wiped it out last night.

Thanks for a great theme that resizes to a smaller screen and validates. Off to make a donation now.

Here is my page built on your wonderful theme:

Very nice work everyone! This is such an impressive and user friendly theme!
My site has been around awhile, but I am in the process of converting it completely over to WordPress and this theme. Please take a peek and share your thoughts.

Hi,

I switched to this theme after using another great theme for a few months. The previous theme is great but this theme is greater. I was so amazed that such a great theme can be free. And it can be customized to a great extent without knowing much php and css. Thank you for this great theme.

Please see my work using this theme at Today in Myanmar. This is an travel information website about Myanmar (Burma).

i used tables here--will look at making individual tables with CSS later when i brush myself up with CSS

any suggestions welcome...

Once again, Atahualpa has come to the rescue.

This is for a community "event" site for a Motorcycle Cruise-In that happens every summer.

Thanks again for the speed in which Atahualpa allows a rollout.

There's not much 'content' as yet, but room for that has now been established.

I'm totally enthousiastic about this theme.
I've created a site for a client of mine using the theme and I never thought I could find such a freedom in the configuration both for the architecture and the design !

This is the adress of the site ... www.martinewicki.ch for the pleasure of showing the flexibility of the theme.



Thanks to all the team for this great work that saves me so much time

Nice job nxious!

I really like this theme, and have been playing with the many settings with my site http://www.crazytrike.com

Take a look and let me know what you think of it.

Thanks

Doug

Here's mine- just figured out how to get the drop shadow right.
I too love this theme!

Another new Atahualpa based site is now on the Internet: www.fromtheranks.com. It is focused on IT and IT Fundamentals.

As each of you have "been there and done that" with WP and Atahualpa ... please check it out and let me know what you think.

You won't hurt my feelings with suggestions. I've been looking at this for two months straight almost and fresh sets of eyes would be appreciated.

Thank you Flynn for your top-flight theme. It made my side of the equation a whole lot easier!

Wow! So much inspiration and support here.

I'm a first time blogger and found atahualpa the best theme to work with for a newbie like myself. I'm always making improvements to my site and it's possible because of everything I can find here on the forums. Thanks for making it all possible!

Here's my blog. Still a work under progress.
