To my wife Sneha and I, it’s really nice to see many users personalizing this simple theme to their taste like the color, banners, image rollers, background images and even the links. That’s just wonderful. Are you using Plain Vanilla theme? Leave your blog address in the comments. Have fun, guys and thanks for using it.

Thank *you* for making such a great theme! It’s exactly what I wanted.
Apr 20, 05 at 05:27I really liked this theme, only reason I’m still not using it is the fact that it’s not completely floating layout. I wanted something *really* simple, and your theme provides that. Thanks for spending time to make a great theme
Apr 20, 05 at 09:53I lurve plain vanilla too! In case you want to know : ) Thanks for your great effort.
Apr 20, 05 at 21:26Moni: Thanks! You have a lovely mod.
Teja, Nikita: Thanks!
I’ll put a little more effort in packaging everything that a theme should have, notably, archives and if possible a contact form (if you don’t have it already via a plugin), in addition to a few colored sidebar backgrounds that you may want to switch per your mood swings. I’ll post an update on my blog when the package is ready. So, do keep a watch =)
Apr 20, 05 at 23:00Just a suggestion, you might want to create a seperate page for Plain Vanilla so that all updates will go there. Don’t link at the top but place on on the side and have something like ‘navigation’, which lists all pages that you have created, or just links that you wanted. Keep that page updating, personally I’d find it easier that way since visitors who don’t follow your blog much could just land there to find any updates.
Apr 21, 05 at 03:17now yours is the best wordpress theme on the web. Its so clean although i had to change the image size and havent replaced the image yet i will probably replace it with somethign to do with Tivo. Keep up the good work.
Apr 21, 05 at 03:44*jumping up and down* “Me too, me too!”
Apr 22, 05 at 01:22Wow! I saw a number of blogs and your theme REALLY rocks! I feel so bad I am not a techie to use it….but someday,hopefully, I will learn more and then my blog will look neat too
Congrats !
Apr 22, 05 at 16:00Sunrayz: Thanks! You don’t have to be a techie to use WordPress. If hosting a website gives you a headache, lookup the wonderful (free) service from Blogsome. They provide WordPress enabled blogs.
Apr 22, 05 at 16:18Thank you so much for this great theme - wonderfully flexible, simple and yet striking at the same time. Very much appreciated!
Apr 24, 05 at 10:53try this webhost they have one of the best tech support i have seen.

Apr 24, 05 at 12:23Thanks Chetan, for sharing your work with us all. I love Plain Vanilla. It’s easy to work with but gives clean stylish results.
Apr 26, 05 at 19:15Nicholas, troels, Elizabeth, nix: Thanks guys. Enjoy =)
Apr 26, 05 at 20:45Thanks for theme
Apr 27, 05 at 13:48Thank you for the theme! I’m currently using it at my site…
May 4, 05 at 03:18I’m using it
May 17, 05 at 11:09Thanks a lot!
Love the theme, thank you!
May 23, 05 at 22:16I’m now using PV1.1 but how do you get the categories to show the parent - child relationship? Mine just come out flat
Sober: Use the following tag instead for parent-child relationship:
May 24, 05 at 13:20<?phpwp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1');
?>
I totally love it. It’s the best in my humble opinion….thanks!
I customized it to totally reflect me and my personality but I don’t think I could have done it without you
Jun 18, 05 at 18:15great theme.
it was exactly what i was looking for and i’ll probably keep it for a while and just tweak it each time to match my mood. thanks a bunch for sharing it!
Jul 13, 05 at 01:58Chetan, I just wanted to say that your/my theme rocks and that I’ve modified it for my *new* fanlisting collective too because I figured why change a good thing? It’s just a slight bit different than my blog, but you may click on my name to see it! I have credited you of course (it’s at the bottom of the sidebar
Thanks again. It’s awesome.
Jul 26, 05 at 15:46Hi Chetan…
Just wanted to let you know that I think this is a lovely design and I’ve finally finished tweaking it for my blog. I’ve removed the navbar and modified the background image but it really is basically Plain Vanilla … I know I could have done better but thanks ever so much… It’s a real keeper!
Aug 13, 05 at 02:32Hi Chetan, Add my site to the list! Thank you for the wonderfully SIMPLE theme. Cheers from Orange County, California!
Sep 3, 05 at 17:31Hi Chetan, thank you for this theme. I’m a very difficult person about style and between all WP themes, Plain Vanilla is the best for my tastes.
Cheers!
Sep 21, 05 at 20:54May I add my name to the list? I tweaked font and size and made the header image smaller.
Like many others, I like Plain Vanillia best from all WP themes. Many thanks.
Nov 10, 05 at 18:32I’m sure using your plain vanilla theme, and I like it a lot — check it out on my site - amagoog.com.
Nov 23, 05 at 18:43Been using your Plain Vanilla theme right from the start because of its simplicity and ease of use. Although my side bar is getting a touch crowded I just love the theme too much to switch! Thanks!
