Finally I have completed the design of my first Wordpress theme. This theme will be exclusive for this blog. 
This theme is widget supported and I have kept this theme as simple as possible. The links on the header have icons for better navigation.
I have made some changes to the sidebars also. The Recent Comments and Blogroll section are removed from the sidebar. Blog roll section has been moved to links page.
Suggestion and comments on this theme welcome. I would definitely like to improve my design skills. I’m currently working on my second theme which would be available for download. This theme would take a little more time to develop due to increased work at office.

Great work on the theme, I can definitely draw some inspiration from it for a new theme I am working on for my site.
BTW how to you add the links to the top menu and show it on a page.
Very nice theme.
One suggestion that I have is to make the icons in navigation menu (at the top) also clickable.
Hey excellent work with the theme
.When can we have the other theme for public?
hey can u post tutorials on theme making?
Great job, Nirmal. Clean and simple.
@ Techie Buzz,
We can add the links in 2 ways, either directly using the php call for pages or by manually adding the links using tag.
@Pallab,
Thats a gud suggestion. I too wanted it that way, but IE is showing the icons in weird way, thats why I removed it.
@Adheeth,
The other theme would be available for public download. I’ll try to give a tutorial on theme making.
@Shankar,
Thanks for your comments and help.
Super theme …suggestions? here goes!
1. Agree with Pallab. Make the icons clickable, like the windows docks…images that popup on roll over…wud be a cool effect.
2. move the digg, delicious and other links to the bottom of each post…that way the reader can do it after reading the posts. and you can remove the share this plugin that way.
3. the current rollover color of red shud be changed to orange or yellow for better visibility.
4. move the date and “posted in” below the title like pallabs theme…that way it will be useful to see the no. of comments made and date easier…
5. sell this theme modified premium…it has the quality..that way you dnt loose the uniqueness of the theme to your site..like copyblogger…
good luck…
Superb Theme Nirmal. Gr8 Work.
But Make the header Icons Clickable.
As you know that m the blogger user So don,t know much about Wordpress. But this one is Simple and Superb.
I like the header image more than the theme
@Anand,
Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll implement the 2nd and 3rd. Regarding the first one, the problem is IE, which shows these icons weirdly.
@Technobuzz.net and Sharique,
Thans for your comments.
I agree with Sharique. The header is lovely. I love your theme
Hey great theme. love the header.. May be i also shud start looking into this ..and release my own personal theme ..
Nicely done.
Good variation of the BloggingPro Theme.
Kanak and Vinod,
Thanks for your comments. Glad that you liked the theme.
hey looks good I like it
. Thanks for dropping by my blog.
Looks cool man. But I hope your public theme will be cooler than this one.
By the disable “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” option on by default.
I think I didn’t make the last point clear. That need should not be checked by default. If visitors really want to subscribe, let them check it. Just my humble opinion.
I agree with Aswin its better to leave it unchecked by default
@Arpit,
Thanks for your comments.
@Ashwin,
I’ll change the settings. Initially I had kept unchecked.
great theme…light n simple….make the header icons clickable.
love your theme Nirmal . The header along with the icons looks great .
Nice new unique theme Nirmal
I hope you stick with it now at least for a long time. It will give your blog a unique identity
Great job man.keep going like this.
the header is very catchy.
Can I download this theme.
Nice and neat.
I know you said you have problems with IE and the icons but keep trying. I have seen others site do it so it would be great to have them clickable.
cheers,

Nice work Nirmal!
BTW, Is this theme a complete make up from scratch or is it a variation to existing one?
Small suggestion.. I hate the small square icons along the comments. Can’t you remake that out?
Great work Nirmal ….your theme really rocks
Awesome! Simple and elegant…
Nice theme, Nirmal! I wish I had the ability and drive to do this for myself. The backend is easy, but the graphics — I suck!
Thanks all for your comments.
@Benedict,
I have removed the square dots in the comments section.
I must say that I was really impressed with the look of the theme. Its bright and vibrant and you’ve really done a great job with it..
Have any ideas of creating WP themes for release?
One more thing I would like to say about the design is the links on the top. As pallab said, it is kind of odd to click the text only instead of the images. I guess thats because I am used to clicking on images in such cases more often..
Vijay,
Thanks for the comments. I’m working on releasing a new WP theme.
Nice theme! I’d suggest you to make icons in the menu clickable in some way, maybe extending the <A>s with CSS…
Looks nice & simple …
Waiting for your public theme.
And about the RSS icon in the top menu bar, is it the way it is meant to be? I felt that the RSS icon was looking kind of different compared to the other icons, in terms of texture.
@Andrea and Manas,
Thanks for the comments.
@Vijay,
The RSS icon is from a different Icon set, thats y the difference.
[...] Nirmal on My First Theme [...]
Can you give me some idea about the adsense ctr with this new theme. I am afraid that the header icons are over-catchy, so they might not give a good adsense experience.
This theme is so amazing that I am feeling a bit jealous of you. I myself author themes and now I am trying to keep myself away to touch my theme so that I could concentrate on the real contents.
Nice work.
@Wordpress Plugin Advice,
Glad that you liked the theme.
Hello Nirmal,
