This blog will be using Theme Leia which is made by Kapikua. This theme is really nice and simple with plenty of headers that you can change from including Christmas headers. There are other themes from Kapikua site which you can download. The only thing is the site isn’t in English.

However this theme doesn’t support the popular widget function. I have customized this theme with widgets and added in widget 3 widgets control for now. There are Leftbar, Rightbar and Postbar. The LeftBar and RightBar is just like the normal widgets for sidebar. The Postbar will be located right at the bottom of the post.

I have already added the AuctionAds which is made to float to the left inside the content container. I haven’t added any plugins yet. Currently the only plugin I’m using will be Akismet. There will be more customization to this theme more when I have the free time to do so.
