After 10 days since I released my first WordPress theme named Ads Minded on May 4, 2005, here comes the wide version of the theme.
The main difference between the normal version and wide version is the width. The normal one is having the width of 770px whereas the wide version will have a width of 1000px. This version suits you if most of your blog readers are using screen resolution larger than 1024 x 768.
Before you proceed, I would like to recommend you the easiest way to Monetize Your Site using Text Link Ads.

Check out the widgetized version v2.0 too!
Please check out the post of Ads Minded normal version for more information like the introduction and features of the Ads Minded.
The zip file here does not contain any plugin this time unlike the normal version Ads Minded. Hence the installation is even easier :-
Installation
- 1. Unzip the downloaded file.
- 2. Place adsmindedwide folder into /wp-content/themes folder.
- 3. Login to WP admin control panel and enable Ads Minded (v. Wide) theme under Presentation.
Demo
Demo is available here.
You can use the Theme Switcher on the sidebar to switch between the wide version (1000px wide) and normal version (770px wide) in order to see the difference.
Check out the widgetized version v2.0 too!
Please do not use my themes for sites with pornographic, sexist and/or racist content of any kind.
Donation
As suggested by some Ads Minded users, here is the donation button. By the way, the theme still remains FREE. :)
Any amount will do, I’ll take it as a bonus.
Thank you.
Change Log (Latest version is in bold)
Check out the widgetized version v2.0.
- v1.1 (May 16, 2006)
- Added archive.php.
- v1.0 (May 15, 2006) – The first version
Any feedback, please send me an email to or drop a comment here. This theme is in version 1 at the moment, I’m sure more will come.
Thank you.

Why dont try to release a fluid width instead of fixed width?
Why dont try to release a fluid width instead of fixed width?
The ideal fuild version will need to have some flexible columns to accomodate more than 1 type of ads. I’m working on it at the moment.
I hope I will be able to release it soon.

Hi Sharat,
Yup, I’ve got your mail. Unfortunately, I’m now in a very critical stage of finishing my thesis, thus lack of reply to your email. Since your requests are not very critical, I will answer them once the works in hand are settled.
You can replace the header image (name it “header_bg.jpg”) whichever made by you in the /images folder. Just make sure the new header image has 1000px in width.

Hi Daniel,
Yup, I coded it from ground up with reference to the ultimate Kubrick theme. I have been using, tweaking and enhancing this theme since more than 6 months ago, just that I recently released it to the public for free.
Well, I think creating a brand new theme is not very hard for ppl who know PHP and CSS well. By the way, I am only a beginner in both of them.
Just went to your blog, it looks nice in my opinion. If creating a new theme is too much a problem for you, stick with your current theme isn’t a bad idea at all.
Have a nice day.

Hi Vincent,
You may try to use W3C Validtor to debug your website. I always use it for website coding validation. It tells you where is the error and possible reason as well.
Hope you can solve it.

Hi Bryan.
Am Havin Tough Time With My New Blog.
I Have Imported Posts From My Other Blogs On Bloggers, Etc. Every Post Is Being Published Under A Same Catogary Named “Uncateogarized”. That’s Not A Problem. But As Soon As I Switch Over To Ads Minded, The Blog Cateogaries Show This Message :”Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sharat/public_html/myblogs/wp-includes/template-functions-category.php on line 321″
Anything I Can Do To Get Rid Of This Message And Also If I Can Know If There Is Any Way I Can Import The Posts From Different Blogs Into Different Cateogaries.
This Time It’s Utmost Urgent.

Hi Sharat,
I think this problem is not related to the theme. Anyway, it can be solved by just creating a new category (with or without any post).

Hey there. I was wondering what part of the code you modify to take out the advertisement box in the top right. When I delete the code as it is, it still leaves the spae of the box there and I am just having trouble finding where to get rid of the whole thing. I would love to hear from you, and GREAT THEME by the way. Awesome stuff.

Hi, Bryan!
First of all, I really love your theme. It streamlines so many of the things necessary to get any traffic to your blog. I have one quick question (well, actually a couple, but they’re related). First, while the AdSense shows up fine on my individual post pages, on my home page, I’m still getting one big PSA ad after about three days. Also, if you can throw this CSS newbie a bone, I wanted to edit the font color for the post titles in the style sheet. It shows up fine on the individual posts, but remains the default on the home page. I realize you’ve got better things to do than answer stupid questions, but any advice you can give is very greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much again on a terrific theme. You did a great job.

Thanks for using the theme, Andrea.
I think your problem of having PSA ads on a page might be possibly due to no keyword found by Google. Ads will appear according to keywords the ads is targeting.
You’ll need to change the following code of h2 in sytle.css in order to change the colour of the title :-
color: #E50066;
If my 5-minutes answer would save lots of your time cracking your head solving, I would be glad to help.
Cheers!

Thanks so much for your quick response, Bryan. I really appreciate your taking the time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to explain why the front page (which has several posts including my keywords) gets a PSA and the individual posts all show up with a full complement of targeted ads. Even worse, since my blog is relatively new, I get the most hits on my front page. :( Oh, well, who can figure out the mysteries of Google?
Take care,
Andrea

Hi, this is a great theme, looks so much better than my previous templates I was using. However, I’d like to remove the search and time bar from the top though. I tried removing it from the header but I got some really weird aligment issues. Is there a safe way to do it? Ideally I’d like to put the search into the sidebar. Cheers.

this is a very nice theme. I’ve been looking for a good 3 column theme (2 sidebar colums on the right). Its just what I’ve been looking for.
