Digs’em - Digg Wordpress Theme

I’ve been looking for a new Wordpress theme to form the basis of a new look to the site for some time now and have been looking at various options, none of which I’ve found to tick all my boxes and been totally happy with.

However, my friend Garry Conn contacted me the other day saying he had released his first Wordpress theme called Digs’em. This theme is built from the ground up by himself and utilising his best-practice knowledge in relation to all things blogging and has a distinctly similar look and feel to the very popular social networking Digg.com site.

One of the big plus points of the Digs’em theme is that it is optimised for being indexed by the search engines and also has Digg integration included, these aspects of a Wordpress theme are vital to me, so ‘out-of-the-box’ this theme needs far less work than other themes might require. More information on the features of this theme can be found here - Dig’em Wordpress Theme Information.

For over a year now Garry Conn has been sharing his tips on how to be a successful blogger – there are many who blog about blogging, but you can be sure Garry really knows his stuff – he has to since he’s a full-time blogger and this is what puts food on the table for him and his family!

If you have a Wordpress blog yourself, I’d highly recommend taking a look at it and see if it offers you what you need for your blog. You can take a look at the Digs’em Wordpress theme in action over at the Digs’em site or on my Simon Barker site, once I’ve got to know it a bit better and made a few customisations to it, I’m looking to start using it here on Zath Games Tech, most likely changing the colour scheme to a blue/white similar to the current one – what do you think?
