Salam to all IIUMbloggers visitors and readers. Today, I’d like to share few things about the new theme of IIUMbloggers. This is the fourth theme since IIUMbloggers was established.
First of all, credits to Srini because I’ve downloaded his theme called F2. It is a fluid width theme which means it has flexible width. Since everyone has different desktop and laptop screen resolution, this is the reason why I’ve chosen this theme so that we can read easily without much scrolling. Besides that, this theme is lightweight and it loads faster.
Back to basic
Previous theme, Revolution Church is a magazine style theme. However, after using it for 8 months, there are some problems such as:
- one post with few categories
- thumbnail setup is not user friendly
- its hard to read the latest entry
In this case, I’ve decided to choose F2 theme, which looks a big formal, but it is suitable for news style. I also has solved some of the problems and I have installed auto grab image for the thumbnail. This plugin will grab first image from the entry and it will be displayed on the home page.
Advertisement slot for free
As you can see in the header, we have provided an advertisement slot, 468×60 pixels and it is free. However, this spot is dedicated for IIUM activities and events only. For more information, you can go to Advertisement page.
Google Friend Connect social bar
I also have installed the new Google Friend Connect social bar, at the top of the page. It has the same function as Follower. It is also the fastest way for you to comment on IIUMbloggers as well as sharing your thoughts and even promote your blog.
Browser compatibility
For the mean time, it is best to view this theme in latest version of browser such as Firefox 3.5.

Yup, definitely this is an upgrade of sorts for IIUM Bloggers. Great stuff with nifty gadgets. And yes, I must say the site loads faster and smoother.
well done!
Salam, this is my first time visiting this site, it loads faster and looked more sophisticated. Just want to comment on the Fuyooh advertisement you got on left upper column. Some of the picture are “unfit” for IIUM bloggers. I know it is beyond your control (advertlerts hold full control). Maybe you can use other advertisers (not nuffnang -it is also uncontrollable). However, it is still a great site (“,)
