Having Arthemia as our wordpress blog theme is fun, as it will give us a very clean and nice online magazine layout with headline, feature and highlighted categories. However, unlike Arthemia Premium which already tune to work with Wordpress 2.7 threaded comment, free edition of Arthemia apparently was not yet prepared for this threaded comments. I have try to installed some plug-ins that provide threaded comment feature, but unfortunately some extra efforts need to be done in order to make it work as my expectation. Starting from just tweaking CSS style, altering code on some PHP files, and so on, not to mention I have to do try and error to see the result. Lucky enough I found IntenseDebate

Few days back I tweet on my twitter account that wordpress stats widget I have installed on my blog did not get refreshed. I have browse for some solution on internet but unable to get helpful one. So, finally I start to recall what I did last time exactly before this problem begun, and I get the the answer.

I changed my theme from Nonzero to Arthemia on d-day when it WP-Stats begun not being refreshed. It have always shown 0 visitor since then. So, I checked on Arthemia file and found it has no “<?php wp_footer() ?>” on its footer page (footer.php), so I added this line on footer.php, wait for few minutes and here you go … my stats is on track again

In the world of internet, website is like our own home, except it won’t cost us a loan or mortgage to build our dream house (read: dream website), it also won’t ask thousands more for buying furniture and luxury electronic equipment to beautify it, so people will feel comfortable when visiting the house. Our website will only need a nice and clean layout, collection on informative content and improving our SEO rating, then we are good to go. Talking about layout, Colorlabsproject have developed a word class Wordpress design called as Arthemia Premium.

Arthemia Premium compatible with Wordpress 2.5 and newer, it offers to re-layout our wordpress blog as a premium magazine style. Another good thing is Arthemia will assign and automatically generate image thumbnails across all blog posting. A colorful categories list will be shown on top part of main page, guarantee will attract people to dig it more.

Widget lover will also love Arthemia, because sidebar and footer are available for this purpose, just choose our favorite widget and drag them. Banner and AdSense management are another score on Arthemia, Simply upload, assign, and add hyperlinks. Also, we can get your Google Adsense banners displayed, hassle-free. Theme administration panel will also be customized to easier webmaster task without any programming skills required. There are some other cool features are offered by this theme, you can get further detail by visit this page.

Arthemia Premium required a good hosting service with wordpress 2.5 or newer installed and PHP GD Library, these things are not to difficult to find with a very affordable cost. Arthemia Premium available on 3 types, single usage for 1 site will charged us US$70, 5 site for US$140 and a developer pack that allows us to use for as many sites as we want with footer credit removal will cost us only US$240 … worth enough if we want to leverage our wordpress blog to a world class blog.

Did I mention about free on title, oh ya I did well, if we want to try Arthemia with some limitation for sure, compare with its premium one, but still a very nice and clean theme, Michael Jubel Hutagalung, colorlabsproject founder has release a free version of Arthemia, you can get it here. Don’t forget to at least donate through paypal if we found this free version is cool, helpful or inspiring.
