Rockin!

Amazing theme, thank you for the share.

Wow cool..
Not pretty sure, but I may use it soon !

Very inspiring. Thanks!

Beautiful theme, lost of graphics in the background, the typography needs a little touch up. xml file was something new and wasn’t really sure what that was for. Thank you again Smashing Magazine and CSS Mayo

That’s really beautiful. Good work, creators.

Never understood the point of someone “creative” using a prefab design. sort of defeats the purpose.

Ditto. Okay, I get it if you’re an illustrator, or something else non-designy (I am, and our graphic design teacher hammered it into our heads that we’re NOT designers and if we ever actually design anything she’ll kick our asses) but if a webdesigner used a free design for their portfolio… that’s just cheap as hell.

hi
I am new to wordpress and love this theme – at the moment I am using the wordpress hosted version – I asume I can’t use this theme. What do I have to have in terms of wordpress to be able to use these themes. It would be good if wordpress made them available

looks pretty cool. even with that huge amount of pictures =)

I don’t like it in general, but I really love how awesome the polaroids look :D

this has been posted about 4 times now. BORED

Is it Turkish Money? :D

Thats Amazing!

Patrick beat me to the punch. The irony is delicious :D

While I always appreciate your site’s hard work and contributions and thank you for giving this away for free… I got to say, not really feeling it. I think a portfolio design should be less words, more pics and more focused on the work. And not so naturish, more clean and less background. Like I said, focused on the work and not distracted by the surroundings.

But thank you for the theme. I’m sure it will make someone happy.

I just got a new wordpress theme on my site. Now I want this one!! These things are like shoes to us, we’ve got to have a lot of them!

Why are smashing mag themes always over designed? You guys always release themes that do not have “Lasting appeal”, they always looks tacky.

Look back at this theme in 6 months time and you will see how irrelevant the design style is, no disrespect to the designer, but come on now, another grunge theme?

I havent yet seen 1 smashing mag theme that has any lasting appeal, you guys are so called experts aswell, surely you can muster up a decent theme for the community.

This is just my opinion, but honestly, maybe you should release something that you would actually be happy to use yourself.

Elegant, timeless design is where its at! A good example of a decent theme is the one you use on this site, simple, clean and has lasting appeal. Why not make something like this for us?

Turkish Lira (; Fantastic theme!

What’s the deal with the Turkish Lira? Yes, I liked it but just wondering where did the idea come from…

This is a nice design… looks like a lot of work went into it (as well as the dozens of others that have been posted here). But why do people continue to want to distract people from viewing their work with so much stuff in a design?
I for one would prefer people to view the sum of my work … un-distracted by the environment I have placed it in. Web design in portfolio sites is what makes the first impression… what if the viewer decides they don’t like the design and boogies on out of the site? IN that case, no matter how good your work is you won’t have the chance to show it…

IMO… simple black Rules… (Doesn’t mean you can’t sweeten it up a bit tho :) )

Why it is not available on the official repository?

Very beautiful theme. I can’t believe it’s free!

Is this theme widget ready? Can’t get them to show up.

Looks like a nice template. Planning to get rid of the “Services” section, “Case study” text at the bottom, change the background. Can’t get the small thumbs at the bottom to show up properly …

Great theme, but im having trouble with the projects. If i rename them they get jumbled up. They are being sorted alphabetically, i have tried to mess around with the order as well and just cant get it to work. If anyone knows a solution, please help!

To… Much… JPEG… Compression…

WOW ! Excellent and creative theme have explained everything how to import files, Thanz guys! Keep it up.

I had the same problem.

It works when I numbered the ones I wanted on the front, 0,1,2 and then I edited homepage. php so that line:
$projects = get_pages(’child_of=’ . $portfolio->ID . ‘&sort_column=menu_order,post_title&sort_order=asc&number=4′);

ended with a 6 instead of a 4

Don’t ask me what that means or why changing it works. Just knew that was the right area of the template and I started messing with it till it worked

excellent theme… great job dude..!!

merki

that is awesome keep it up

I LOVE IT!! I think it’s awesome and am going to use it for a blog I have been wanting to start! Thanks for the share…can anyone tell me what the “PSD-spurce” is for???
thanks much!

I love this and I’ve had a great time customizing it. But there is one thing I am trying to figure out how to do that escapes me completely.

I like the way the projects are listed on the page, but is there a way I can make the images show up larger on the project pages? I have resorted to linking them into my Flickr pages since I can’t figure out how to make them larger if you click on them, or just to simply have them larger on the project page (preferable) …

Thanks for any help,
Cheers,
Paige
