Tribal

tribal1New kids on the block Gorilla Themes have released the monster wordpress theme Tribal. Mixing the dirty grunge theme feel with urban graff overtones this theme delivers in both looks and functionality.

Tribal has been developed to be used by anyone wanting to promote heavily within the music industry. It is intended to be used by artists, bands, record labels, radio stations, reviewers and industry news. With a little imagination though it could be used and developed for so much more.

Using the latest technology available the home page of this site presents your visitors with a nice and dynamic featured content section (jQuery) with full slide show of all your latest news / posts. This would look at home on any flash site but harnesses the power of wordpress and jQuery to be nice and SEO friendly, more importantly though it is simple to use with just a few options in the admin.

With adsense built in (if you want it), feedburner, subscribe options (so you can quickly build a mailing list ), and search engine friendly design, this is a strong business orientated website masquerading as an urban graff street theme.

this is a premium technology based wordpress theme. If you love gadget and technology websites as much as we do and have ever wanted to run your own then this could be the site for you! Not sure? Take a look at some of our favourite sites on the net for some inspiration Notcot, OhGizmo!, Boing Boing Gadgets, Gizmondo and Ektopia. The basics are also all there to run a games blog or review site.

There are a few tweeks that we feel could improve this site, for instance the sleek looking product showcase section at the top would be much better as a menu and could be easily customized to work as one. Also the jQuery based Accordian feature on the homepage could do with some re-vamping

There’s also an area for 125 x 125 ads so you can monetize you blog, and with a technology blog or site there’s plenty of opportunity to advertise.
