I changed my current theme from Blog Oh Blog v2.0 to Pop Blue 3 Columns for December 2007. This is another cool theme I like from BOB. I made some modifications to suite my needs. It is a clean, simple and lightweight theme. Pop Blue 3 Columns theme is based on previous Pop Blue 2 Columns theme.
If you do not know, Blog Oh Blog was sold for $ 10,000 USD. BOB is from Malaysia. His blog is 5 months old. Making that amount of money in 5 months is amazing. Please read here for more info.
