    Hey Guy's
    I am looking for a theme for the self hosted version of my blog, so that is can further develop it.
    I have looked at every site that I could find with 3 column themes, and so far I don't see anything that is just "Bad Ass".

    I will be installing the new version of Word Press.

    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions,
    I am looking for:
    3 columns (left, right , center)
    Widget, plug in ready
    Like to have a sleek design that can still pass for business.
    Don't mind Black or dark themes, as long as they are easily read.
    Something with color options, to change the color would be nice.
    Heavy Graphic header is OK.
    Something that lists sub pages and sub categories neatly!
    I'll take what ever bells and whistles I can get.

    Free would be nice.
    Maybe somebody has run across one in the past or knows a site that I don't know about.

    I saw a theme that had a digital world clock in the footer( You know, NY, Tokyo, Rio, Moscow), that was the only thing I like about it, is that a plug in? and can I put that just below the header?

    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    What's wrong with the theme on your current blog? I think that looks pretty good. What changes do you need to make?

    Well, thanks, but, I got a couple of domains for it, and I want to self host it now.
    I do like the current theme, I just wanted to make it a little more "snazier" to launch the new version of it.
    Plus, I'm not particularly happy with the way the sub pages are listed on the side bar...they kind of run together.

    There is a lot I like about the options of that theme, I was just wondering if maybe I have overlooked on similar to it,or do I just need to bring that one over, and make some plug in, or code changes.

    Check out vertigo
    I'm heavily tweaking the vertigo theme for a few new blog redesigns of my own. They're looking pretty "kick butt"
    But if you are set on having a left sidebar, center content, right sidebar...you may have to change the CSS a bit.. not too tough though
