great template.. nice layout, good choice of color scheme. just a few points:

i] The corners are not perfectly rounded and the thickness of the strip varies around the corner.
ii] The border-strip color i.e. milk green is a little dull.. try to use a slightly brighter green [don't use the saturated green though.. just a little more bright].

other than that.. this is a nice theme :D

Great design, much like the available iPhone template for wordpress or blogger. :D

Good and usable choice of color combination. BTW do u have some other color option available too for the texts ? :confused:

@ rohan_shenoy, thanks bro.. but this is just a web template and not a wp theme. though i can create a wp-theme with the same design..

I know that, I already did for my own website. ;)

BTW color options are a bit easier for newbies who do not want to take the hassle of changing the CSS for themselves. :D

Looks cute.
But IMO you've got too much green on that page.

That's why I opted for the color change option. :D

wow your themes rock. the seriously rock.
just need a few clarifications:

1. can you allow the old farm pic to be changed ? Can it be possible to use another pic, that too a rectangular one, and automatically round its edges ?

2. The pic's edges aren't properly rounded. Can you fix it ?

3. can a n00b wannabe website developer like me who is just going to start his website find this theme useful ?

@ nvidia, thank u!

@ gautham,

1. The old farm pic can be changed. You can just replace the "the old farm" pic in the images directory to use another picture (with a rectangular border). And it wont automatically gets rounded. I can provide the original PSD file of that old farm banner, so that u can replace the image behind those two round corner shapes.

2. Yeah, i can and i will.

3. didn't get it properly..

@Gautham, you can use the themes if you are familiar with HTML(XHTML) and CSS. And yeah, to maintain w3c validation you will have to learn it properly.
