If you haven't heard, the deadline for the Community Server Theme Contest has passed. The good news is that now you can vote on your favorite themes and download them for your site(s).
As part of the Theme Extravaganza, I submitted a single Blog Theme, Fluid, similar to the one currently used on daptivate.com (note that this is about to change, as I am currently working with a designer on a new theme). It is named Fluid for several reasons ... that is the name of the Arcsin template I used as a starting point, it won't cause problems with anti-virus software, and it simply makes a lot of sense for the name of a stretchy three column layout.
Details
Here are some more details about the Community Server Blog Theme called Fluid.
- It is a very simple three column blog theme. Each column adjust to the width of the browser.
- There are different pre-configured theme variations included: Pink, Blue, Red, and Green.
- The title/description header can be easily shown or removed based on user preference.
- The logo, text, and colors can be easily changed.
- It is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

In order to give you a feel for what it will look like on your blog, here are two screen shots.

The blue theme variation (with header hidden):
As you can see, this theme puts a premium on actual content. Blog posts can be prominently displayed and easily accessible for users. It also enables easy customization to match your logo and preferences through the Community Server dynamic theming feature.
Get It
You can easily download the theme for your blog. Once you unzip the contents, follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to install.
Enjoy...
