I wanted to have a play around with some colors yesterday and if you
remember I mentioned that andreas08 could be modified quite easily and after a few hours of experimenting I sat back and thought this one should be made
available to the community considering how many requests I've had for pink themes. Believe it or not, this was actually quite a tricky colorset to work with. Pink isn't one of those colors that just naturally works on a website, you really have to experiment. Hopefully I've got it right.
I added a background image with a gradient to the page, and this is different from the blue version of andreas08, I also tweaked a couple of lines of Smarty code, nothing too noticable but I'm experimenting with improving the user experience of my themes.
You'll need to change the links that appear in the navbar. The homepage and login links shouldn't be changed. To change the about, photos, or music links, open index.tpl from the Andreas08-pink template folder, and in the section where the navbar is located, you'll see;
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
Changing this is easy, delete the # sign, and in its place, making sure you leave the surrounding " " marks in place, simply insert your link. Then where it reads 'About', change to the word you would prefer to use, for example;
<li><a href="http://www.carlgalloway.com">Carl's Blog</a></li>
This was my first Andreas Viklund template, and also the most popular so far. I think the reason this is so popular is that it so versatile. I've personally used this template on my blog for several months, and I've added a pink option
