The time has come to present our beloved audience with the long-awaited feature of color search which will come in very handy to facilitate the templates selection process. This option will become far topical for those customers who would rather pick up the templates relying on personal color preferences. The current color search feature guarantees that they’ll surely stumble upon their all-time favorite color designs.
The algorithm of such color search is quite simple: it is a percentage of color presence which is actually being evaluated and then correlated with a certain color scheme. The color picker itself consists of twelve different colors; these are mainly hues and tints of primary colors. In fact, you may choose up to three custom colors to search by. It means that having selected any three colors from the given color search range, there will be automatically displayed those templates which have the prevailing amount of those three colors in their layout. Thus, you may easily find the template you like most in terms of your fancied color palette. Now you may explore the awesome variety of our templates handled with a convenient color search tool – that’s definitely worth your try!

WordPress is a state-of-the-art platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. It has been powering millions of blogs for quite some time now, and has been truly appreciated for that.

Being created with the video blogger’s needs in mind, quite often such video blog designs bring entirely new elements to the way people browse and interact with video on a website.

They can have a traditional linear layout as well as an optional gallery style layout with a primarily thumbnail based navigation. For sure, videos in this case help to fine tune and enhance the process of blog posting. Currently, we’ve compiled the 50 staggering WordPress video blog websites for you:

The Apple of Discord – Codec for the New HTML5 <video> tag
Do you remember those good old times when we haven’t heard anything about the “Flash killers” and playing the web video with Flash player was the option and everyone was pretty much happy with that option? Yep, those days are long gone and things are totally different today – although it is hard to tell whether it’s good or bad. HTML5 strikes the web industry with new standards and unusual solutions that will someday get a status of “revolutionary”. The latest version of hyper text markup language raises its hand against many standards and of course one of the most controversial things about HTML5 is the <video> tag debates. The problem is that the folks from W3C group haven’t decided yet on what exact codec will be used for the new HTML5 <video> tag. And therefore what we have today are the two possible candidates to do this big job – Ogg Theora and H.264 codecs.
The Candidates
In the red corner of the ring is the Ogg Theora – the open source video codec project from Xiph.org which in turn is being funded by Mozilla Foundation. It is not bounded by some patents and fees so it is very convenient for the users and strongly recommended by the open source software community. Non-profit status of this software is a great thing but we can’t say that this codec can give you high performance video. It means that main trump of this codec is the free distributing but the quality of the video provided by Ogg Theora codec will surely make W3C think twice about it.
In the blue corner is the H.264 codec brought by the ISO Moving Picture Experts Group (aka MPEG). This codec’s mission is to deliver the high quality video with the assumption of low bitrate. An additional goal is to allow the standard to be applied to a wide variety of applications in various networks and systems. So far sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Well take this, W3C: the main problem is that if you want to use this software you will have to pay the licensing fees to MPEG LA.
Another Battle of the Browsers War?
