Shoemoney Has A New Theme

  • Sharebar

Well the ever famous Shoemoney has his theme get tweaked a little. Though he never announced it, it’s obvious. He has been promoting his newsletters and well this is the first time he has done this one. If you feel you will benefit from it, then signing up is a must.

Well the blog’s theme is nice but well I still believe the old one is better. You can see his blog have it’s own frontpage wherein the three subheaders are shown whereas it isn’t when you’re reading the post on the link directly. I got some reasons why the former theme was better

  • Better Width, Better Spacing – In his previous template he had everything extended. In this recent one he had a margin at both sides. Well IMHO the better the spacing the better it looks…
  • No threaded comments anymore – Though this one can be installed, I still think the threaded comments is one of the better part of commenting system of blogs. In this blog there is no threaded plugin because it’s not functioning well. So while removing the threaded plugin can be a wise move to lessen junk comments, I can say it’s still valuable. Large blogs like shoemoney aren’t just blogs. They are like forums. People talk in it, exchange their 2 cents and well criticize each other. Thats why I feel it’s important.
  • Looks like MMO blog – With the new theme, shoe’s blog has become like most “make money online” blogs there. The structure reminds me of most mmo (junk) blogs in the industry. Shoe never claimed his blog as mmo neither as a “blogging know how-to” blog.

Well a new theme is a fresh start. Sometimes it helps your readers feel more refreshing. I don’t know, maybe Im the only one thinking the old theme of shoe was better. How bout you, do you think your theme is that good?

      Relatively new to blogging only now starting to get serous about growing my readership and maybe earning a buck or two.   Read your lastest post, half of it I have no idea what your talking about—-(thats MY ignorance, but slowly learning the bloggosphere terminology here), anyway sounds like you know what your doing.  See ya around the campus as they say—-

      I’ll have to say. Jeremy’s new theme is much nicer looking than the other. It has that clean look and everything just looks nicely spaced like you pointed out. It’s making me want to change my theme (again). :)

      Personally I like his former theme better. I miss the three boxes on top of the blog. ;)

      I was never a big fan of Shoe’s old theme to begin with so this one I’m not too big one ether, but it does look a little bit better.

      Hey there Melvin. I noticed ShoeMoney’s theme change also. I agree with the better width and the fact that it looks like a MMO blog. I actually didn’t noticed the lack of threaded comments but I actually prefer it. On your blog, I actually prefer it like this because of the text box that shows up.
