*Important* To enable the google theme, go to the right sidebar where you see the "Site Theme" dropdown box and select "classic".

This is the last I will say about themes on this site for a long time, I swear. But a theme this significant just had to be posted on the front page. I have created the google theme, which needs no explanation. Why is this so significant? Well, if you make a theme that looks like google, you should get a boast in traffic, right ? Of course, don't be silly.

The keys to a google theme:
1. Memorize the hex code for white #FFFFFF.
2. Be sure you don't forget that hexcode, because the entire page must have almost no color. Plain and extemely generic is now cool.
3. The banner image needs to look appealing to a five-year old.
4. Be sure that banner image uses font cutall.
5. Use arial font throughout the page.
6. Use a light blue background (#E5ECF9) and a darker blue border (#769CE1) for navigational aspects.
7. Only one image on the site is allowed, this should be the banner image. ( I have failed at this :( )

Watch your site increase in traffic even though the layout/content is nothing special. And if you remember one thing above all, it is that this was just to have a little fun. Site gimmicks I guess should be the real tutorial, eh ?
