More theme to convert, more knowledge to learn

I must admit that I learned so much from Tribune’s conversion, from the CSS modification to body section coding. It’s really wonderful that every time I convert a theme, I have to communicate with the language inside the theme, and learn the creative idea that author implemented inside the theme. I thought it’s the beauty of the web design, we learn great idea from others, and produce a better template for all of you to enjoy!
