been actively developing a wordpress theme lately..if you like this..will be coded to
wordpress theme...
Regarding design #2
This is looking great! Good Job! Here are some comments:
Where the date is on every entry, you have a little icon to the let. Would it be possible to put the date number in tis box? Maybe also make this box look like a calendar flip book?
I am assuming the add button is for comments? I think the circle kind of clashing with the shapes on the rest of the page. Can you make this a rounded rectangle and add a "talk" or comment icon to the let of the word Add? So it would look like (icon Add).
On the rate post, can we change the stars to tools? So maybe a hammer? I don't know, it might look stupid, But I am interested in seeing it.
Can we add a search box to the sidebar somewhere?
On the comments, I like the talk bubble. Great idea. However, can I see what a few comments would look like? I would like the comments to have a different color or some way to separate them. Look at this picture and see how we use a similar system in our GUI. Might be nifty to use the same type and tie them together as a brand: http://clevertools.com/screens/progress_dashboard.jpg
Also, RSS will need to be added somewhere. Preferably towards the top where it is easy to see.
Okay, I think that is a good amount of feedback for right now :)
Regarding design #2

Submitted design #3
ok..i fix couple of things and as you can see if you needed a ajax shoutbox..it can be coded into it and the commenttag can be change every comments and the bubble box will be coded to stretch any long comments so it won't effect the graphic content.
can be added some latest post and recent comments below for the mainblog and commentpage.
ok...good night
Regarding design #3
Thanks, this is great! I really dig this. Okay, What do you think about making the add comment button blue since it seems all other action buttons are blue as well?
Regarding design #3
Okay, the other comment I have is the header graphic for the blog entries and the side graphic needs to be modified a tad. The top part green maybe needs to be a little darker as the white text is a little hard to read some times.
Also, I'm going to need two other categories as well. One for News and one called 'General'.
Regarding design #3
ok will change the add comments button to blue and fix the gradient effect on panel.

Regarding design #6
Looking great! Can't really think of any changes except rearranging the order of things on the side menu. Now that I am thinking more about it, I think it should go as:
1 - Categories
2 - Most Recent Posts
3 - RSS
4 - Search
and then the other way you have it is fine.
