quicklink: tech cocktail needs a redesign
Tech blog tech cocktail is looking for a redesign.
So, if you’re a theme designer looking for inspiration to fill your weekend head over to this post and see what you can come up with.
theme: Sakura floral wordpress theme by area381
This theme reminds me of a duvet cover I once saw in John Lewis.
I can also see it being used for a guys personal blog. It’s kind of the equivalent of those stupid pink floral shirts we wear occassionally to prove that we’re comfortable with our feminine side (or is that just me?).

Themes: comedy iphone wordpress theme
Personally I’m totally underwhelmed by the Apple iPhone. Yeah, it looks pretty. Yeah, it’s really shiny. Yeah, it marks you as a grade A geek. All of which is great. But that thing is HUGE.

Interestingly the author has bundled a number of plugins to ensure they styling of these fits [...]
Themes: far from fearless

This is an interesting example of what I would term an ‘experienced user only’ theme, in that it comes with a number of healthwarnings:

New themes: Superfly
Sometimes the name of a theme gives you absolutely no option but to review it. Introducing superfly by Milo. I love the header, I can see a cool zombie book review site running with this theme. I don’t know why it says zombies to me. Maybe I’ve been 360ing too much this week!
