It has been some time since we posted our original Theme options for blogs on Maneno. Since then, we have gone back, looked at them, deleted the ones that weren't very good, and added a great number of new ones that we think are a lot of fun. You can view them all on the Themes page and change the option for a blog by clicking on 'Your Blogs' in the admin menu.
As you will note, we chose names that have a meaning in different languages, mostly African languages. Here's a quick explanation as to what these all mean:
It's a very distinctive type of tree that is native to Africa, found particularly in Madagascar and that was made famous by the book The little prince.
The color 'blue' in Lingala and is a simple, blue theme.
It means 'bird' in Zulu.
It means 'far away' in Spanish.
Is the color 'yellow' in the Wolof language and this is a simple yellow theme.
Is the Kiswahili word for 'ostrich'.
It means 'lime' in Lingala and this theme is simple, bright greens.
Okapis are adorable four-legged animals living only in the DR Congo related to the giraffe.
Serif is the name for a type of font and is the basis for this elegant theme.
Lastly, there is the theme of 'none' which is very basic and has little decoration, but is useful for people who are working on a low bandwidth connection and don't need one of the fancier themes. It's the one we use in this Site blog.
We hope you enjoy this new supply of theme choices. If you want to tell us what your favourite is, you have any suggestions or would like to contribute a theme, please contact us!
