    Greetings everyone all around... I think its about time I can let my site/blog Nokia Symbian Themes get reviewed by you! Firstly, it will be really appreciated if you can be honest about it and next, if you like it then subscribe it ;)

    I am a Nokia Symbian Theme developer and all the themes are designed by moi... :D I also designed the logo myself! What can I say, I am a huge Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator fan... lol... (No flash stuff on my site though :p)

    Recently I changed my site's design and am going with the flow thanks to Adii's awesome Magazine Gazette Theme! Already tweaked it to death (like deleted the search box which didnt let me add pages, changed the default template with my own designs of Your Ads Here! and lots more) However, I still have a lot of work to do, like sizing up the featured post's images accordingly... (which is a heck of a work :eek: so I decided to skip it all and just move on with the new ones from the future.). Though I do have to update the advertisement page by today! (Already had to publish the Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, had to fix the License!)

    Also, here is a screenshot of whats about to hit your eye when you click THIS:

    Cheerios soldiers and senoritas!! Comments are much appreciated!

    That looks pretty hot for a wordpress site!

    As with all my reviews I start under the covers - get that javascript and css off the page an into a cached file. Give the bots a chance!

    Viewing the firebug load results on a "single" page there appear to be some serious bottlenecks on the page. The mario image for one, yet it's a small image hosted onsite. You need to identify if you can resolve some of these.

    Lol Yeah looks like that doesnt it! ;) Thanks man!

    I knoooooooooooooow!! But If I use plugins like wp-cache/supercache then my hosting company might just kcuf me up seriously! Probbie is I just liked this gadgette theme so much, I couldnt resist! My earlier theme was a pretty simple one with no java stuff (I hate java stuff on content myself!) but somebody from their (the theme's forum) told me that if I look at the source I will see that the G worm will be able to index it... and I was all ooookay just woot I wanted to hear lol.. Damn! what should I do, I have no idea... If I see the G index going against me in a like 15/20 days time I think I go with the Morning After lol... (waste of big bucks in that case *sighs*)

    Anyway big thanks for the review... just visited your SEO Blog in the meantime, I dont know if you have noticed it, but your archives link dont work... Think its the page template issue, not sure though O_O ... Fix it! You know you must! Adios mademoiselle! :cool:

    Looks good to me :) The header picture could be a little higher quality, I noticed some jpeg artifacts there. And the font of Nokia Symbian Themes could be clearer. But very good site overall :)

    different kind of caching. Just move the css and the javascript into separate files and the browser does the caching, you don't have to do anything. It will speed up your page loads.

    However get the firebug extension for firefox and review the page load times. It'll be worth the effort.

    Looks nice. I like the logo with the paint brushes and the phone to the right, pretty cool.

    Thanks a lot aqnshosting :D

    Yeah I guess... Cant speed up the load time without my hosting company increasing their speed I guess... and they informed me that they will increase speed pretty soon. So it will be okay then I hope :)

    Thanks for the review!

    As you mean like a separate "style.css"? There are actually three style.css files already there, one for the entire theme, one for the color scheme, and the last one for the Moo featured gallery.

    I am not a CSS/java script savvy by any means so if I am being totally out of the planet with this, I do apologize. :p

    Looks good. Have you checked the load time for slower connections? I am running 10mb and it took a bit to load all the graphics.

    No way your site's theme doesnt suck at all... yes it is not web2.0-ish (hate that term) but for your site it shouldnt be either! It should be more professional that flashy/glossy/bright and it is! Plus, you can always change the theme just like that! And as for mine... thanks a lot bro :)

    As the logo suggest, Chaos! The site design is nice, but I am a big fan of uncluttered sites, that reflects the message in one go. But thats just my perspective. Overall good, but can be made i a little more uncluttered.
