    Latest version 1.0.5 (03/02/2009).

    • Fixed many IE5.5 & IE6 issues.
    • It works with WordPress 2.7 without any issues.

    Latest version 1.0.4 (08/12/2008).

    • Added an option which controls the sidebar position (left, right).

    Latest version 1.0.3 (05/12/2008).

    • “About me” text is being pulled from a database instead of a file. In order to change the text, go to your theme’s option page now.

    Version 1.0.2 (04/12/2008).

    • Fixed the background bug which occured using Safari.
    • Re-packed the zip file, when it’s decompressed the files would be in a folder “mortgages”.

    Version 1.0.1 (03/12/2008).

    • Added tagline.

    Initial version 1.0.0 (02/12/2008).

    Every theme I develop has a story. I am a big fan of “Fringe” and I really like the intro, especially those small bubbles. It got me inspired and I decided to play around. This is how my latest theme “Mortgages” was born.

    I couldn’t determine which background looks the best, so I decided to make an option page where you could choose it by yourselves (available 5 different backgrounds).

    You could also make this theme more personalized by editing about me section and putting your face above it. I prepared a background without a sample face, so you could easily attach your own (the background rests in images/photo-bg.png).

    PS regarding the logo, yes, I also watch “Heroes” ;)

    Features:

    • A special section where you could put some facts about you and your own face.
    • High quality backgrounds.
    • Option page.
    • Based on CSS framework “Blueprint”.
    • Released under GPL.
    • Valid CSS & XHTML
    • SEO optimized.
    • 2 columns.

    1. COOL!

      It’s work fine with firefox but not with Safari!

    2. Could you please be more specific?

      I’ve just booted my mac and tested with latest Safari and it looked fine to me though when I used Safari on Windows platform, the background image didn’t fit well the background color.

      I’ll have to research how to fix this…

    3. (background image didn’t fit well the background color.)
      yh, i was talking about that.
      I tested on other browser like Firefox, Avant browser, IE7, IE8 b2, Chrome on XP platform, Opera Browser on Windows Mobile 6.1. These browser work fine background image to fit the background color.

    4. I found the solution here.

      I removed the color profile from bg.jpg and it works fine now.

      The latest theme release 1.0.2 includes this fix.

    5. Great Theme!
      I have sent you an email

    6. I didn’t receive anything

    7. thank you!

    8. 我喜欢这个主题,I LIKE THE THEME

    9. How to you move the sidebar from left to right?

    10. Contesteer, I’m releasing a new updated today, which would add an additional option to change the position of sidebar.

    11. Hello,

      I cannot seem to find a way to allow users to comment on items.

      Can you help

    12. Sean, it’s not theme’s issue, I guess it’s about your blog settings.

    13. Change the enough faster!

    14. How you change the background?Why blue above the following is how the black?

    15. Hi~

      This template looks grate! But it’s not work under IE6 -_-!

    16. Kimi, thanks for your comment. Yes, indeed. I see many issues with IE6. I’ll do my best to fix it asap.

    17. I did a little change to validate the code for the index, because there is/was a a tag before exactly the close tag

      lines: from 27 to 35 of index.php

      I just moved ” from line number 35 to line 27

      Any question you can write me.

    18. David, I tried to validate any version of this theme and it passed the tests smoothly. You may try to validate my latest version:

      http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azmoney.co.uk%2F

      or

      http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azmoney.co.uk%2Fmortgages

    19. I don’t know why this is happening… Maybe if you take a look the index.php that is include in the zip file called mortgages.1.0.4.zip, you will see what I’m talking about… I think I should write something in my blog to explain myself clearly

    20. AWESOME theme. I’m using it now. Thanks a LOT!!!

    21. I love this theme. I was wondering if there is a way to have the comments work like they do on your Vista theme. Where you can just click on the comments icon or word and it will take you to the place to add the comment. I don’t know why people can’t figure it out but since i have added this theme I have had people calling asking why they can’t add a comment. Please let me know if there is anything I can do about this. Thanks again for such a SWEET theme.

    22. NICE,i use it now

    23. Would love to use this theme but, unfortunately, it comes out mangled in IE6. Looking forward to the update.

    24. ArcherTC, the update should be published by the end of this week.

    25. seriously, i love all your themes!
      thanks for sharing with us!

    26. I guess we can use the theme for our newly launched graphics design blogsite. I wish you have something for blogger though.

    27. I have a big bug on explorer, even yours is not working, what can I do? please help me :-)

    28. And i’m also having pb with the comment

    29. To all, I fixed all the issues with older IE, please re-download the latest version (1.0.5 at the moment).

      Ad, what kind of problems are you experiencing?

    30. I think your theme is great! and great implementation of blueprint, just a little fiddling and I changed it to 974px :) but…

      I spent 2 hours trying work out why I couldn’t chane the background-color of .content DIV. There is something overriding it which makes it impossible to change it from white. i got round this by renaming the DIV .content2, then it worked fine…

    31. Hi!!nice theme,but I can’t use an option “archive”…it’s shown that it’s supporetd and in the wordpress control panel it is stated that “archives” are installed,but I can’t see them on the page…what is the reason?
