Download: WordPress Three Columns Kubrick Theme

Am planning to change Wordpress template into three columns design. As you can see now, the sidebar is quite full… Well, 1/3 sidebar space is generating weekly revenue for me.

What does it look like?

The 3 columns design I am planning is something look like Engadget and Gizmodo. The content column(most width) at the left hand side and two small columns at the right hand side.

Why 3 columns?

For frequent readers, you do not need to change your habit of reading(read from left hand side) and I probably separate ads and site content in the other two columns. One for ads, one for site content.

Isn’t it nice?

Looking for new skin

I am browsing for pre-made Wordpress 3 columns themes / templates. Remember? I am not a web designer. Anyway, I think I can tweak current WP1.5 default kubrick into 3 column template. :)

You have see LiewCF.com in the blue kubrick theme look since beginning of year 2004. Feel bored? An worse, Wordpress choosen it as default wordpress template. Arrgh! :mad:

Are you web designer?

If you are a kind web designer who want to show off your design on a popular blog site(here!), and able to create a clean, simple, beautiful and tableless(CSS) wordpress design(3 columns)… Please contact me.

  • Mine's 3-col all-CSS-no-tables as well. Validates summore! *LOL*

    But for Blogger.com only, and I had to grep a a lot of the code from Ruthsarian Layouts.

    (Err.. you will see *some* table tags but that's for elements *within* the columns and not for the columns themselves.)


    I'm not a CSS master.. just know enough to survive, and learning as I go along.

    Cheers!
  • I can whip one up for you.
    When do you need it?

    I'm free after June only though. Exam time now.
    Even my blog is on hiatus
  • Hmmm.... I've been trying to create a 3-column layout for Wordpress to do my company's blog.

    Problem is, my CSS is half-bucket-water and I dunno any PHP. In the end, I trashed my Wordpress installation and installed Blogger instead! Hahahha! Contact me if you wanna see my Blogger 3-column template. It's a Header-3column-footer layout with no tables. The CSS should be the same, right?
