miniBlog, A Free Wordpress Theme
The newest addition to ForTheLose.org’s collection of free Wordpress themes, miniBlog is built to make your blogging experience a breeze. It’s simple and clean looking, but at the same time, is extrememly powerful in the backend. Oh, and best of all, it’s free.
Because of the way I built this theme, there is literally an infinite number of customizations you can do with colors to make your blog unique. With a built-in optional Twitter widget, you’ll be able to keep your visitors up to date with all of your random doings throughout the day. The great news is, it couldn’t be any easier to manage the Twitter widget! miniBlog comes built with an easy-to-use Theme Options page that makes customizing the theme so simple that even the most inexperienced coder could use it without breaking a sweat. From the Theme Options page, you can do things such as:
- Change the color of the background & other elements.
- Enable the built-in Twitter widget.
- Identify Key used for post image thumbnails.
- Add and remove elements from the sidebar.
- View Theme Options Page HERE
If you’re still not convinced that this is the theme for you, let me give you the specifications of the theme. When you download miniBlog, all of this is included:
- Wordpress 2.7+ Ready
- Widget Ready
- Gravatar Ready
- IE 6 & 7 Compatible
- Firefox Compatible
- Safari Compatible
- Opera Compatible
- Netscape Compatible
- Custom Post Image-Thumbails
- Infinite Number of Color Schemes
- Detailed Theme Options Page
- ReadMe.txt for Help Installing the Theme
- Separate Comments and Trackbacks
- Easily Editable CSS - Fully Commented
- Web 2.0, Tableless Design
- Best of all, it’s all FREE
Whew, that was alot of typing. Right now, you’re viewing the default color scheme. This is just a specific combo of colors I picked, I felt it was mild and kept the clean look.
miniBlog will be one of the best decisions you could make to separate your blog from the rest of the pack. Why stay with the same old generic template that is not only used by a countless number of other blogs and doesn’t look all that great when you could be enjoying the amazing functionality of this theme?
Well, I think I’ve wasted enough of your time with all of this writing. I put alot of work into this theme and I’m glad to see if finally getting some spotlight. If you have download the theme, I thank you. I hope that miniBlog will bring a new life to your blog and give you an upper hand in all of your other blogging “competitors.”
NOTE: If you download and use this theme in any way, shape, or form, you are NOT allowed to remove ANY links from the footer at all.

Hi Ralph
Good job and great theme.
I’m just wondering if is there any tutorial how to make the slider works.
probably need just some keyword but I can’t figure out which one.
when I use the default “image” i can see the picture in my post but not in the slider.
can you give me a litle kick
cheers sweed
Hey sweed.
Not sure what’s going on. Can you give me a link to your site so I can check it out?
Thanks
That site is on my local but it works now.
There’s a problem with the picture slider on top of the site. when I use Lightbox in nextgen gallery I can’t see any pictures or links to post in that slider.

the theme looks nice
Nice theme. Thanks a lot !
Ralph - I absolutely love this theme. I had been shopping for months and then had a “Eureka” moment when I found miniBlog.
Just one teeny tiny request: Is there anyway to configure photos inside of posts to be something other than a square. My posts are going to be quite photo heavy - I use lots of them - so if I could use a 500×330 size that would be ideal. thanks!
Hi
Great Theme. But a dumb question.
How do get the picture in the preview, like in your example, the cat.
Is there any way of making the articles show full in the front page instead of showing up as resumed?
Sorry for the double post, forgot to ask if there was also a way to show up images in the front page along with the posts (so I don’t force people to get into each post to be able to read and view all).
nested comments?
I want to show the twitter’s icon on sidebar,like in your sample
how to do?thank you
It says theres 50 comments for this post but theres only 20 visible…where are the other 30? :S
very good theme
minimal.what i like!
pretty good!
how do you get the thumbnails to display, like the cat on this page????????
thanks.
What plugin are you using for the user photos? I can’t seem to get any of the ones I’ve found to work.
huhu. interesting. I like this one!
Thats beautiful theme tanks
А как на вашу рсс-ленту подписаться? что то не пойму
wow.wow.wow..nice dude

I think the theme MiniBlog is By far one of the best themes for wordpress I have come across and I believe that it will be one of the most popular themes in boonrepublic.com you should get work from our members. I see that others have asked about the image of the cat, and How do get the picture in the preview, like in your example, the cat. Appreciate the help one suggestion for future development, allow for a logo in the miniblog title area. thanks
Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.
I love this theme but my sociable plugin doesn’t work in it…anyone have any idea why?
Awesome thing! Thanks!
very very very good theme
I love the theme but only have 1 question. How can I get links to show up as links on the front page and not have to click “read more” to see the links>
wow i have no idea waht u people r talking about… but it seems very interesting. and i just felt like putting up a comment.
Great Theme tnx alot…

How about: “If you download and use this theme in any way, shape, or form, you are NOT allowed to remove ANY links from the footer at all. ”
hola!
It’s simple but so nice. Thanks!

I love it.it’s awesome!!
Is there a way to rearrange the order of the “pre-installed” widgets?
Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks, perfect theme.
Howard how did you rearrange them?
Also, I want to totally get rid of the image (where the cat is)… I’m assuming I’ll have to play with the code for that…
You can just move the ‘div’ sections around in the sidebar.php.
Also, here you can coompletely just delete the images and then change the spacing in the style.css.

Meh, I suggest using a WP plugin like WP e-Commerce to sell this theme. You’re barely gonna make anything from ThemeForest
