Like My Web Template? You Can Have It
I am a big fan of this theme and would like to share it with the general public to use for completely free. So, today, I am trying to make the effort to publicly share my web template that was originally called the “Blog Theme.” It was designed by Chris Rowe, one of the professional web designers of WooThemes.com, but to spice things up, I will even share my Wordpress plugins that I use as well.
Oh, by the way, any Wordpress template that WooThemes displays in the free themes section, is simply a steal. Their work is top notch and they are simply one of the best designer teams I have seen so far.
Do you really need a demo?

How to Install to Wordpress
- Login to your FTP account using quick applications like FireFTP or FileZilla (Self hosted only, not subdomain.wordpress.com) If you are using FireFTP, after you install it, you should see it when you hover over tools.
- Once you have logged in go to, wp-content>themes. If you don’t see wp-content right away, it is usually in a file called public_html.
- Now unzip the Blog Themes file that you just downloaded with applications like WinRar.
- Now, locate the unzipped file and select it through the FireFTP panel and hit the arrow point this way to your themes. (–>)
- Now wait for it, until it says it is complete on the bottom left. Once it says that, login to your Wordpress panel and click on templates. Then you should see a small picture of the template. Now activate it.
- Last, but not least, once you activate it, you should scroll down and click on BlogTheme options and fill out the all the required areas. Hit save, now preview your blog’s new appearance. You can also experiment with the variety of colors as well.

In total, I have 16 relatively free Wordpress plugins that I simply cannot live without. These are all the plugins I currently use to fully operate my blog on the Blog Theme template, and I’d strongly recommend them to any Wordpress user. Experiment with the themes, and try out different plugins that best matches your style. Wordpress is all about experimenting with fun new things.

I am setting up a new site using this theme and so far I really like it. However can’t figure out how to get my content to show up under the archives tab on the top?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FYI I love your site, very informative.
Do you mean the Lifestream sidebar? It is a plugin that you can download off the WP plugin database. Simply add your rss feed onto it and drag out to your sidebar under widgets, and you should be done.
