In addition to its many existing product categories TemplateMonster has launched a new category of Web 2.0 Templates. The internet today is constantly buzzing about Web 2.0 Templates. Why not? It is a proven fact that Web 2.0 actually WILL make the Internet a better and a more comfortable place for everyone.

So, what is it all about? Web 2.0 is a new concept and approach towards web design. Its main objective is making a website more usable, and to make any particular content easier to read and weigh in importance. This all is done with the help of sectioning the elements - like putting the more important elements into the more visible places, or by making the texts bigger. Web 2.0 also makes it easier to navigate websites by using intuitive navigation bars and icons which helps to attract visitors’ to navigation and make it a pleasure to use. Not to mention the graphics – excellent color schemes, rich surfaces and interesting reflections.

Here are some examples of our Web 2.0 family:

Here are several technical recommendations for you considering how to use our WordPress themes for earlier versions of WordPress. The thing is that our themes are designed for WordPress 2.1 and if you want to use them for the older WordPress 2.0.x version here are several suggestions for you:

get_links_list() function has been changed to wp_list_bookmarks()

wp_list_bookmarks() is used for the links output from the bookmarks menu ( displays bookmarks found in the Bookmarks Management screen) and it’s not supported by the previous WP versions. Currently this function works only with Netscape and Mozilla but WP developers promise to make it cross-platform in the very near future.

If you want to convert the 2.1 version to the 2.0.x, you need to follow the instructions below:

1. If you’re not planning to use widgets in this theme you should:

1.1 open sidebar.php file in your folder with the theme

a) change the wp_list_bookmarks() for the get_links_list();

b) replace < ?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=0'); ?> with < ?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>

1.2 open header.php in your folder with the theme and delete < ?php language_attributes(); ?>

1.3 open searchform.php in your folder with the theme and delete < ?php the_search_query(); ?>

2. If you’re planning to use widgets in your theme you should:

2.1 open header.php in your folder with the theme and delete < ?php language_attributes(); ?>

2.2 open searchform.php in your folder with the theme and delete < ?php the_search_query(); ?>

2.3 open functions.php file and change the wp_list_bookmarks() for get_links_list();
