Me & WP Zoom, or how this blog has a new theme

On september 16^th and 17^th, I went to WordCamp Romania (read all about it). There were even some contests at that event, with (ta-da!) prizes. Lucky for me, I took part at those contests and won a free theme for my blog provided by WP Zoom. Find out below how I collaborated with WP Zoom.

The theme I’ve won is Magnet theme.

My blog went through a dramatic change, see below:

As you can see, my blog looks much better with the new theme installed. How was my collaboration with WP Zoom?

• The team responded to all of my requests fast;
• I got all the support I needed from them;
• The timing was impecable;
• The actual result of their work (the theme) looks great.

I tweaked the theme quite a bit:
a. Links are underlined in blog posts;
b. Removed all the featured posts stuff;
c. Removed the bar with categories;
d. Removed the author info;
e. Modified the sidebar quite a lot;
f. Added subscribe by email in the footer;
g. Modified the subscribe links in the footer (strangely, they are not the ones in the header, with Feedburner, they are the default blog’s feeds);
h. Removed the “Add to Twitter” link (it used the long URL, and my blog posts have huge URLs, so I had to give it up);
i. Edited the RSS links;
j. Added a page for comments rules;
k. Edited the header;
l. Edited the social networks links;

I really enjoyed my collaboration with WP Zoom. Thanks Pavel CIORICI!
