New Theme: Say It 2

Posted on February 3rd, 2007 in Themes by admin

‘Say It’ 2.0 implements features originally left out of the original, specifically a dynamic color chooser. It is also very light weight due to a restructuring of the way the design works.

If you are currently using the original ‘Say It’ there’s no need to upgrade but some of the new features are really cool.

This theme is one of my favorites because of the simplicity.
