MyBB Templates

I just tried out MyBB and it has a lot to offer. However, one thing MyBB is currently lacking, is themes to choose from. Anyways, I did manage to find a couple of decent looking themes for MyBB.

Note These Themes are for MyBB Version 1.4

Redzee - Redzee is a simple red template. However it is a very professional looking template for MyBB.

N. Design - N. Design is a more modern looking template, and it was my Favorite MyBB Theme.

I found the best sites for gathering MyBB Templates include…

MyBB’s Official Mod Page

MyBB’s Official Forum

MyBB Themes Forum

MyBB-Themes

MyBB Central

However, despite all the sources, there are still a limited number of MyBB Themes (for Version 1.4) available. I am hoping this changes quickly since MyBB is becoming a very useful Free Forum Platform.

Free Logo Generating Tools

Maybe you have no experience with Logo Design, or maybe you simply do not have the time to create a logo for your Web Site. Whatever the reason may be, there are Free Logo Generators out there that can do the job, and create a Logo for Your Site.

At first I was a bit skeptical about the idea of a Browser Based Logo Generator. However, I tested a couple of these Logo Generating Sites and came up with some pretty Good Results.

Creatr.cc
Creatr Provides 7 nice looking Logo Presets. Options for creating your logo at Creatr include Font, a Badge, Mirroring Options, Background, and a Resizing Option. Here is a Logo I created using Creatr, as you can see it looks very nice.

SimWebSol.com
SimWebSol provides another Free Online Logo Generator. SibWebSol.com’s Logo Maker Provides Features such as Background Color, Reflection Options, and Symbol Availability.

LogoFactoryWeb.com
You can design some pretty interesting Logo’s at LogoFactoryWeb.com. You get Two Lines of Text, a Shadow Option, and the ability to add a Graphic to the Logo. However, my one complaint of SimWebSol’s Logo Creator is that you must give them Your Email to Download the Logo, and with this Email they also get “explicit” permission to send you their Newsletter. It states this when you process the logo. I don’t think a Newsletter would be too bad, however, it just complicates the process, and who knows if they are sharing your Email with others.

If you are not satisfied with any of the Logo Generators above don’t be upset. There are plenty more Logo Generators out there, Just by Searching Google, Here are a Few More. Also, if you really want to develop your own, unique, personal logo, your probably going to want to create Your Own Using Photoshop, or another Image Editting Program.

Blog Directories

 Blog Catalog, a Blog Directory

So I’ve been hearing blogging is where its at. With this thought I started my own blog at JustSomeThought.com. Anyway’s now I am in the promotion stage of my Blog and I realize there are many directories which specifically take Blog Submissions. Anyways, the site I have linked too below has a very large collection of these Blog Directories.

TopRankBlog - RSS Blog Directories

I am unsure of how effective these Directories are since I am just trying them out, but a Back Link is a Back Link, and some of these Directories have a decent Page Rank.

PHPBB3 Templates

It is true may not not have had any success with my PHPBB3 Board, OpinionRiot, a General Forum. However, while building this forum I learned a little about PHPBB3, and the layouts associated with it. The basic PHPBB3 layout looks decent, however, I think it is important to expand, and customize your web site, so it looks unique. For this reason I went looking for a layout. In my search for a new layout I came across http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/. This web site has most aboundant rescource of PHPBB3 layouts I have seen, and best off you can see the layouts in full using the dropdown. So, for anyone looking for PHPBB3 layouts, I would recommend this page, it is truly the bees-knees.

Anyways, some of my favorite layouts from PHPBB3Styles.net were Emuza2, BuzinessBoard, DirtyBoard 2.0, and ProGlass.
