Blog Template System (Themed)
This Blog Template has an Archive on the right side and examples of your blogs on the left. But its most standout feature is that it is themed. Meaning you can allow your visitors to change the color of your site to the themes you have set.
This makes it easy for people to see what you have listed without having to click through all the months and years.
Keeping it simple and clean, with a natural feel.
Information and Live Example
