Biruality WordPress Theme
I have been and playing around with this WordPress theme for a long time and am finally ready to release it. I call it “Biruality,” which means “blue” in the asian languages of Indonesia and Malaysia. The theme is a simple, 2-column layout with rounded corners. I love the look. It’s clean and fast. The design was conceived by Sergios Singeridis (send me your new site, please) and tweaked by me. Summary of theme features:
- Tested with WordPress version 2.9.2
- 2 columns
- Right Sidebar
- Widget support
- Fixed width
- IE and Firefox compatible
- SEO friendly headings (a single H1 tag at the top level of each document’s hierarchy)

- 1.1 – 1.3 – Minor fixes

Please post comments and bugs you may find on the theme here. I hope you enjoy!

Yup, Biru means Blue, at first read i just guessed this template was made by an Indonesian / Malaysian designer :D
But this is made by you. Nice template and i’ll try it.

Others said it quite eloquently before me — this theme is clean and efficient.
The highly legible text makes it a natural choice for content-intensive blogs.

I do have one question about the replacement.js that is in the header.php, it is not in the archive, is it really needed, and what would it be for?
thanks

William, that is a reference to a dynamic text replacement script that swaps out text with text images. The theme does not use this now. It is from a previous build. It’s fine to remove it and I will do so in the next release. Thanks for pointing this out!
Update 3-1-09: Done. Version 1.3 uploaded.

I’m writing from Turkey. Your thema is so nice. It’s very nice that you’re writing on subjects about seo.

it looks like a premium template,
SEO friendly though

Wordpress is a great solution in my opinion, and with good plugins for example seo plugins work for webmasters very easy and comfortable

Really like this theme. Just what i have spent hours looking for but can it be made wider?
June 8th, 2009
Ally, you are right, it could stand to be wider. I’m probably a little lazy to do that at the moment, though :(

i want to learn how to create a theme in wordpress. but i am still new there so these themes can help me ;)
July 14th, 2009
Nice and using this however I am new to WordPress and having a few problems with some things I want to do.
I want the homepage to be static, and now I have the word “Home” at the top.
Any quick fix to this?
July 15th, 2009
Debbie, you can edit the header.php file and change home to whatever you want if you find this line of code:
get_settings(‘home’)
Also, you can make a static page appear in WordPress under “Reading”
July 18th, 2009
Hi again,
OK – got my “home” working. Now I want to add new pages but don’t want them added to the navigation. Some I want with the look & feel of the WordPress site and some I want to redesign completely.
How do I solve these two issues?
thanks
Debbie

Here’s the page on WordPress.org explaining how to exclude pages from the nav.

There are lots of ways to change the look and feel of pages. Here’s where you might start: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

How can I put ads on this theme? There is a lot of open space on the sides. Is there a way to put the ads in that area? Also where can I put a banner? Please help.
Thanks

Helena, the best bet is to use one of the many plugins in the official WordPress Plugin Directory. You can start looking here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/ads
