I was learning how to code a wordpress theme from WPDesigner tutorial when an idea of making a complete overhaul on this blog struck my mind. Basically o2 2.0 is originated from the tutorial template where I further shape up the theme according to my like. It looks ok, so i think it would be great if I can share this theme with all of you.
Anyway here's the features of this theme.
Features :
- clean and simple ( the folder size is roughly 80kb)
- 3 columns
- sidebar widget ready
- XHTML + CSS valid
- Tested in Firefox, Internet Explorer 6, Opera, and Safari
- PSD and font used are included
Updates: Adsense Integration
1. Put 468x60 ads between <div id="header_r_ads"> and </div> in header.php
2. In style.css, go to "468x60 banner zone". Replace everything between #header_r_ads { and } with
margin:2px 0 0 30px; padding:0;
width:468px;
height:62px;
3. Find "background-image:url(images/ads-holder.jpg);" under #header_r
and delete it. So it should look like the following
I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any problem :D I hope you enjoy it :)

It looks good buddy. i might give it a try in the future.

Nov 17, 2007 at 08:55:49

keep on producing those quality themes….
Nov 17, 2007 at 10:09:22
baru semalam ko ckp nak buat entry pasal theme nih - skang dah keluar….ok bro jap lg aku tlg promote ker ko ok.
Nov 17, 2007 at 10:16:42
madhur @ thanks mate!
od3n @ boleh tahan la..heh
zaki @ alop bro..long time no see eh..aku dah emel ko cemana nak fixkan header tuh..if the problem persists let me know.
dott-com @ mekaceh banyak2 bro :)
Nov 17, 2007 at 14:51:37
This looks awesome! I might switch to it when I have to time. Looks really good anyways. It is alright to modify it a little right? of course I’ll still leave the footer in place but i prefer another colour scheme.
Once again thanks and great job!
Nov 17, 2007 at 15:47:04
Swift, of course you can modify this theme :)
Nov 17, 2007 at 19:15:11
Boleh tahan design ko bro.. Boleh beat bob nih..
bro..Kalau nak adjust kale font dekat CSS jer kan..
Nov 17, 2007 at 20:42:25
overclock - nak beat bob masih jauh lagi..masih berguru ngan super bob kat carigold tuh..hehe..haah font tuh adjust kt dalam css je
Nov 18, 2007 at 07:02:28
I have a question. How do I change the font size in CSS? I can find the right one :(
Thanks in advance!
Nov 18, 2007 at 07:48:03
I didn’t make the font size entirely global. If you want to change the font size of the posts you may change it in “.entry” in the css. Let me know which part you are working on.
Nov 18, 2007 at 07:59:25
Thank you! That’s what I’ve been looking for :)
Nov 18, 2007 at 12:16:52
great theme, i found another good theme already, going to do some adjustment for my blog,
Nov 19, 2007 at 05:28:56
Great Theme, keep up the good work. Also, I need a 4 column theme for wordpress, it would be great if you can make this theme with 4 columns, if you can please e-mail me @ teamtgb@gmail.com
Thank You
Nov 19, 2007 at 06:27:13
icalvyn @ cheerio :D
http://WwW.TeamTGB.CoM @ cheers mate. Thanks for trying out my theme :)
Nov 19, 2007 at 15:11:54
kalau macam tu…leh ler i nak belajar dgn u lak..i pun nak theme sendiri gak…..apa pun tahniah…
Nov 19, 2007 at 16:17:54
bleh, apa salahnya :)
Nov 19, 2007 at 18:56:12
This theme are really nice, i guest you will be the next blog oh blog after few month~
after read thought ur coding, it is simple and easy~ easy to edit too.
I suggest you made few color for your reader to choose, instead of just using light blue.
Nov 19, 2007 at 21:36:52
Allo bro..Aku dari dulu kaji punya kaji last2 tak terkaji dah..Hang guna ape utk rotating recent post tuh..
Nov 20, 2007 at 02:26:39
la awat tak tanya? aku pakai plugin nih.
Nov 20, 2007 at 09:12:18
awesome eches! i would to try it too. pls guide me ehehe. the design & color matched.
Nov 20, 2007 at 09:27:46
No worries. Will walk you through. Let me know if you run into problem :D
Nov 20, 2007 at 09:48:00
Owh gosh, I overlooked your comment, calvyn. my bad. I was thinking of using few color like tiga theme by azhar. But it’s complicated, need to learn how it’s done though. I think it is suitable when the theme doesn’t require images.
I guess being the next blogohblog is going to take ages lol. Bob has the X-factor that make him stand out above the rest. Anyway, speaking of making wordpress theme, I’m working on the second one. Need to learn photoshop a lot, it’s not really my thing heh
Nov 20, 2007 at 16:39:08
wa..sorang lagi ikut jejak langkah bob..hehe..aku pakai theme ko tu..meamng best wa cakap lu..nanti aku try design n slice kat photoshop..aku kasi kat ko design tu..:)amacam?try2 erk?kalau menjadi..kita talk about that later..orait?:)
Nov 20, 2007 at 18:50:47
One more question, how do I disable the capitalize post title?
Thanks.
Nov 20, 2007 at 23:30:40
Go to “.post h2″ in css and remove the following
text-transform:uppercase;
Nov 21, 2007 at 03:12:24
seperti yang aku mahukan! you did a good job. aku akan pakai theme ni.
Nov 21, 2007 at 03:15:25
satu soalan. boleh tak kalau ko sesuaikan theme ni dengan brian’s threaded comment? sbb masalah aku, ade banyak theme wordpress yang menarik, tapi semuanya tak sesuai digunakan dengan plugin tu.
Nov 21, 2007 at 05:11:27
cuba cerita sket brian’s threaded comment plugin tuh cemana..
Nov 21, 2007 at 05:54:10
Owh camnih ke? tapi macam ada error je kalau pakai plugin nih..kat blog wawa pun camtuh..katakan kita dah select untuk reply satu message, pastuh cancel, terus tak leh reply dah, kotak reply pn hilang..
updates: tapi nampak cool, so pakai je la :D
Nov 21, 2007 at 06:48:37
That’s work! Thank you :D
Nov 21, 2007 at 10:09:24
Glad to hear that :)
Nov 21, 2007 at 10:46:58
eches ko dah antar theme ko ker wordpress ker - cuba ko antar ke sana, mungkin meletooop lg comment ko nih…cadangan sj lerrrrrrr
Nov 21, 2007 at 12:35:58
Yeah! I like the rotate recent posts area. It is really cool!
Nov 21, 2007 at 12:56:48
Dah bro, tp lom muncul2, nanti cuba submit plak hehe
Nov 21, 2007 at 15:23:20
I like your theme :)
I’d like to tell you that ads-holder.jpg doesn’t work with Firefox. I don’t have adsense, so it will be nice to know how to fix it :)
Thank you so much.
Nov 21, 2007 at 15:59:37
Hello robert. Care to explain more? I think that’s my bad, giving the wrong description to the jpg. The ads-holder.jpg is actually referring to the bubble. You can remove the picture if you wish.
Nov 21, 2007 at 19:03:54
haa.. so kiranya dah ok theme ni kalau nak guna dengan plugin ni? kena download balik tak?
Nov 21, 2007 at 19:09:42
boleh je pakai plugin tuh..takyah download balik, cuma perlu copy file comment.php dalam existing theme dan paste dalam theme yang baru nak install tu.yang dalam plugin folder tuh takyah kaco..ada prob, sound kat sini, bleh troubleshoot
Nov 21, 2007 at 21:28:16
Nice Theme. Congrats :)
Nov 22, 2007 at 00:40:45
It was my mistake :) I didn’t recognize reason. Now I know:)
I still can’t see ads-holder.jpg on the top (even at your webpage) because… My AdBlock Plus thinks that is still some Ad :) Although it’s only a picture, ADP qualifies it as a advertisement.
Interesting, isn’t it? :)
Nov 22, 2007 at 06:03:20
It makes me wonder too, what happen to the innocent little picture at the top right corner ;p Renaming the jpg and a little update in the stylesheet will definitely do the trick. Anyway, thanks for trying out my theme. Cheers!
Nov 22, 2007 at 16:19:18
Nice professional design. It reminds me Steve Arun’s design which he made for outsourcing company about 5 months back. It looks exactly the same.
here is the URL’s:
http://blog.kpoweb.com
http://outsourcingpoint.com
He has better graphics and you have better design. I understand WP Themes are look alike and coders are working hard to improve each other’s work.
Congratulations!!
Nov 23, 2007 at 17:23:28
Nice work dude, I liked the theme.
Nov 24, 2007 at 12:45:39
ohohoh.. eches mai la ajar aku buat wordpress themes.. aku lom master CSS lagi.. oho
Nov 25, 2007 at 14:26:03
hi eches, hope you happy. thanks for the theme. look at my blog, i use you theme and make some modification
Nov 25, 2007 at 15:41:47
Thanks Nirmal for dropping by :)
Nov 25, 2007 at 15:42:15
mari2 :D
Nov 25, 2007 at 15:43:43
Hey exinco,
thanks for using this theme. With some modifications, yes it looks awesome. cheers
Nov 26, 2007 at 12:49:25
too bad..i’m still using blogger…hope this template will be available to blogspot soon..:D
Nov 29, 2007 at 00:40:17
slow slow dude… I see a good future at you… I have no talent on create a theme, just able to edit some only, Hope you don mind i edit it…
hope to see ur next theme coming out..
Nov 29, 2007 at 08:06:13
Eches,
it’s a great theme. I am still modifying the theme diligently. I have one suggestion for now. In your comments.php file line 114, you might want to change the code from
to
When a reader clicks on the link where no comment has yet to be left, it’ll be taken directly to the Comment Form on that article instead of the top of the article.
P.S. I am still struggling to get the comments count to show up on the single article page (single.php).
Nov 29, 2007 at 12:56:18
I guess it doesn’t translate tag. :-) My bad.
It is supposed to say change from
*h2>Post a CommentPost a Comment</h2*
Replace the * with the opening and closing tag.
Nov 29, 2007 at 12:59:25
Let me try this again. Eches, you can delete the previous comment so it won’t confused others.
Change
*h2*Post a Comment*/h2*
to
*h2 id=”respond”*Post a Comment*/h2*
Replace the * with the opening and closing tag.
Nov 29, 2007 at 23:00:20
Well man, u don´t need to talk in spanish, just keep making beautifull themes!!!
Nov 30, 2007 at 01:09:09
Thanks for the heads up man! I’d fixed it and reuploaded; I just noticed it. I’m too learning how to make it counts up. There’s tutorial at Johntp.com but I don’t have time yet to look for that. Again thanks for trying out my theme :)
Nov 30, 2007 at 01:09:42
cheers bro!
Nov 30, 2007 at 01:15:05
Hey I see great changes on the theme and it looks good!It doesn’t need talent to create a decent theme; preserverance yeah, it’s a must I say.
Dec 11, 2007 at 05:36:06
I am using O2 2.0
I want to make the sidebar_top width smaller to 180px and push it over to the right. I want to get rid of the lsidebar and stretch out the middle to use up the space. I see that the css controls the size of sidebar_top in #sidebar_top under width, but when I make it 180px, it moves to the center not to the far right.
please any help?
Dec 11, 2007 at 07:42:15
Hi. I like this theme but I can’t figure out what’s up with Pages tabs on top. There are dummy ones in place that say page 1, page 2, etc. but I can’t seem to find where to remove them; and when I CREATE a page, it puts it in the sidebar and not in the tabs. Please help, thanks.
Dec 13, 2007 at 14:05:01
Hello Bunny, I’d fixed the problem some time ago. I presume you download it from other places (i.e. wpfreethemes.com etc).
Please download the latest zip file from here. It should fix the problem.
Dec 16, 2007 at 17:25:59

Dec 18, 2007 at 19:05:14

Jan 11, 2008 at 17:45:49
Someone is using your theme but had changed the footer. He declared that he designed the theme. Here is the website: http://blog.balivisual.com/

Feb 16, 2008 at 12:41:35
I’d visited your blog. Everything seems to be OK from my end. Does this thing happen in all browsers you used?
Feb 16, 2008 at 12:43:54
I’m afraid there is nothing much I can help because I’m not well versed with blogger. It would be better to ask the person who convert this theme. I’m terribly sorry for that..
Feb 17, 2008 at 08:20:34

Mar 30, 2008 at 02:05:35
selamat singgah ke sini TK :D theme ni nanti release lepas wordpress 2.5 keluar, senang kalau ada apa2 problem boleh setelkan dulu :) ermm pasal soalan nak kuarkan cuma title je, cuba ganti “the_content()” dengan “the_excerpt(__(’Read more’))” dalam file search.php
