You are seeing the new design of my blog, I launched a new theme for my blog a few days ago and still doing some tweaks to optimize this theme. If you visit my blog regularly, you will notice that I had used the Tidalforce theme from Elegant for nearly 2 years. Since WordPress is upgraded to version 3.0 and I want to take advantage of new features in this version, I decided to change to another theme of Elegant – Whoswho.
There are 4 reasons leading me to this choice:
- I have been a member of Elegant for a while and I love its design style, all of them have great looks, very clean, clear and elegant.
- I don’t have to pay more to use this theme. For $39/year, you get unlimited access to 43 premium WordPress themes and every new theme they release.
- Every Elegant theme has a great Theme Options Page called e-Panel. This panel make your work much easier, now you don’t have to touch theme’s codes to tweak your blog. It is separated into 8 sections: General Settings, Navigation, Ad Management, Layout, Colorization, Integration, SEO and Support Documents. Take a look at this page:
- Whoswho is maybe the lightest and the fastest theme of Elegant. I tested its speed with some other nice themes of Elegant (including the TidalForce theme I used) and realized that Whoswho outperforms all of them and its loading speed is 50% faster than my old theme.
The new design still has some errors and flaws, so I’d be very glad to receive your suggestions regarding the new theme, its look and the easiness of navigation. Thanks everyone!

New design is good, nice and simple,easy on the eye.
I recently redesigned both my sites, one using thesis and the other with the freshlife theme,
they really brightened things up
Thanks for your opinion, I greatly appreciate it. I read many good reviews of Thesis but finally I decided to continue with Elegant for reasons referred above.
Hope all readers can read news and navigate easily with this theme.
i never used Elegant theme…..
Your theme looks too good, you shouldn’t change it at the moment.
Frankly, the new design looks better than the old one. However, I think, you should dow more tweaks to make it more elegant and fresh. I do not know what should be customized and need more time to share my ideas. Congrats!
Thanks Mr Tinh,
I also realize that this theme should be tweaked more but I don’t know where to start as I am not a web developer. I really hope to receive your suggested ideas.
It is hard for me to say now but I will have more time to know about your design to have relevant comments
Yeah, plz let me know when you see anything offensive in this theme. Thanks in advance.
well quite nice decission….. themes look good and perfect for your blog….
Thank you, esoftload!
Your positive review reinforces my confidence in this change.
Nice blog layout. The new design seems perfect.
Thanks for your opinion, Sushant
Your theme is nice too, it looks like an iPhone’s app.
I am a fan of elegant theme, I have their subscription and was previously using this same theme
at Netchunks but at that time there was no epanel.
haha, fortunately you got rid of this theme so that I can use it now. The Whoswho theme is my favorite theme as it meets all my needs for a modern theme. I still prefer tweaking codes manually although epanel is excellent.
Nice! I am working on getting a custom layout for my blog as I think that will take it to the next level. Every blogger who is serious needs to invest on making their blog look good. There are tons of options out, some cheap ones too.
Designing blog’s layout is a serious work for us and it shouldn’t be underestimated. Nobody wants to come back to a blog with a messy layout and full of widgets everywhere. That’s why we should buy a premium theme or even hire a professional desginer to do this work.
Well the theme is very cool. However the footer is very simple.
Thanks for your suggest, I am considering adding footer boxes there but don’t know if they are really important.
cool theme dude…
realli liked the layout….
Tek3D – now I must really be honest with you. I came here from seeing a comment you left on FamousBloggers. I couldn’t believe how happy I was to see that you changed your gravatar. Forget about the theme for a second. I want to congratulate you on the gravatar first!! I really like it. Ok, now back to Hesham’s blog…BRB
Thanks for you honesty, Ileane.
At least I realized that my face is better than the last gravatar I used as it could attract you to my blog.
Btw, I’ve just visited your new blog, I believe that this will be your best blog ever.
I do not know how your previous theme used to look like, but this one looks pretty good. I specially liked the header and the navigation bar.
I am hearing a lot of good things about Elegant themes.
Thanks Sourav and welcome the first time you visit my site, I remember seeing you on Famousbloggers.
Navigation bar is one of the best thing I like about this theme, it looks very much like your theme’s bar.
not knew how your previous theme look but this one is perfect for your blog……..
