When I first introduced the Fastway theme(which got a lot of great attention), I had several really nice compliments about my current design, and questions as to whether I would make it available. Well, the time has come.

When I started the layout of this theme, I wanted something that had a very professional look to it, and also a memorable color scheme. I think I succeeded in both ways. You’re probably wondering why I’ve included a screenshot of this design in the post………when all you gotta do is look at the site you’re reading.
Well that’s because I want readers to see the design I’m talking about once I roll out my new design.
For the most part, nothing about this theme will change. It will be available as you see it here. Of course, the logo and banner will not be in the header……..that will be up to you to add whatever you want up there. The default header will have the blog title and tagline.
Links, Anyone?
Something I’m going to do a little different with this release, is offer you the opportunity to enjoy the incoming links that a theme can bring you. Would you like a boost for your Technorati rank? If so, this will be a cool opportunity………more on that later.
- After doing some research, I will not be offering links afterall. It’s not an excuse, but I had no idea that their was an issue surrounding it. So I will be putting this design up for download, but no sponsored links.
Thats an interesting thing your doing with the incoming links and it definitely will be a great opportunity for those who use the theme.
I was going to launch my new blog design tonight, but unfortunately my site was down most of the night. So be on the lookout for a new design sometime tomorrow night.
I hope the “incoming links” stuff doesn’t mean you’re going to release this theme as a “sponsored theme”.
In case you didn’t notice, WTC just announced that they won’t be promoting “sponsored themes”; period.
Clarke,
I noticed earlier your site was down. I’ve been trying to keep an eye out for the new design. I’ve got a new one I’ll be putting up in a day or two as well.
Azmeen,
I didn’t notice that. I appreciate you pointing it out. I’ve been thinking about offering links for a couple of weeks…….had a few people ask me about it.
I may have to rethink that. Whatever their reasons, I’m not sure. I haven’t followed any issues about it or looked into it yet.
The truth is, I would rather have the support of Weblog Tools Collection than any money I could make from sponsorship. I think I’ll probably be better off in the long run.
Can’t wait to check out this new one Anthony! Fastway is already an awesome theme so
Thanks dude! The new one is a lot different……more colorful. I’ve also got a lot of custom class elements built in……like a suped up Cutline!
