I really enjoyed my past them – fracticles – but I started to run into issues with the theme and plugins The whole point to have a plugin on your site is so it can improve some aspect of the user experience… so, when I cannot use the plugins of my choosing, time to look elsewhere.

At the suggestion of Gianna, I needed to install a “subscription to this post” feature.  A feature that didn’t want to work in the last template. 

Now that we’ve moved on to the Bella theme, it looks as if my issuse are now resolved.  I you run into any problems, please let me know.

Thanks for using my theme :)
Try using this css if you want the check box for the comments subscription to show better:

.subscribe-to-comments { padding-top: 10px; }
#subscribe { float: left; }
.subscribe-to-comments label{ width: 300px; padding-left: 5px; }

Hey!

Thanks for stopping by. I was looking at that and wondered what I could do to fix that. I’ll take care of that this evening, thanks for the tip and the theme!

I like the new theme! I hope the plug-in works.

@Glamour Gaby – Works perfectly, thanks for the CSS.

@WC – Thanks! It looks as if the comment subscription works. Let me know if you have any problems.

Wow! Interesting theme – I was kinda shocked by how different it looked from your old theme. It’s nice and simple. Maybe it’s the new theme I uploaded a few weeks ago that blocks my comments. I guess I need to consider changing my theme too. Ugh! Alas, between work and school, there just isn’t enought TIME in the day!

Anyway, I like this look – very clean. And the little comment cloud is cute too!

Ooo! Kim, I really like the new theme. I also see you have the subscribe option now.
