I just started a new gadgets blog Gearor.com, so I design a new theme for it, iTech Theme. This is a high quality, low graphics, Lightweight, fast-rendering and professional WordPress Theme, inspired by SixRevisions, especially good for technology and gadgets blogs. A tabbed block is added to sidebar for displaying Recent Posts, Popular Posts and Recent Comments. Built in control panel(Theme Options), you can set customized RSS feed, email subscription, twitter subscription and header logo. Compatible with Wordpress 2.7 and above(including 2.8.6), support threaded (nested) comments, sticky-post and comment pages.
Tabbed block is added to sidebar for displaying Recent Posts, Popular Posts and Recent Comments in a small amont of space.
Subscriptions of RSS feed, Email and Twitter is placed at the top navigation bar and can be customized in admin panel(Theme Settings):
There are total 6 setting you can customized:
- RSS Feed Title
- Custom RSS Feed: URL of customized RSS feed, you can put your Feedburner Feed here.
- Email Subscription: For Feedburner users, you need to enable this function in Publicize settings in Feedburner. And then change ZackLive to your Feedburner id. If you have any troubles with this settings, feel free to contact me by commenting below.

good theme
Soon I’ll add file RTL.CSS
thank you
really nice clean theme. I’m trying to increase the height of the header so I can drop in a bit larger logo (my logo is86px tall) but struggling. Could you possibly tell me how to do that? Do I need to increase the height of the bg_header.png file? Thanks so much.
@beth: I solved this in my child theme. I copied the bg_header.jpg file to the child theme, then removed the bottom part of the image, leaving only the gradient. (I use CSS to set the background colors for the lower part of the header). I also set #logo’s background as follows:
background: url(“images/bg_header.jpg”) #464646 bottom repeat-x scroll;
This pushes the gradient image to the bottom of the #logo; the background color that fills in the top (#464646) matches the top of the gradient.
The result is that the header doesn’t need to have a specific height, but (I think) it has the same visual appeal.
The CSS for the child theme is here; you can see the result by going to my blog.
@Zack — This is a follow-up on an email I sent you about some bugs in the iTech theme, including:
1) The configuration option for “RSS Feed Title” seems to have no effect. (I fixed this in the header.php file.)
2) The style.css contains a selector:
.post h2 a:link, a:visited{This selects all
a:visitedlinks, not just the ones that are descended from.post h2. As a result, most visited links don’t look right. I’m pretty sure you meant this:.post h2 a:link, .post h2 a:visited {I also added some styles for tables that I think fit the theme well.
Would you like me to send you the files?
@Dan,
Thanks for your work, I didn’t noticed these two bugs, I’d like to read you files, and would appreciate to let me know any other bugs or follow-up.
