Let me know of any problems you incur.

]]> Ben Sharman 2010-12-15T06:26:19+07:00 Updated Themes http://www.professionalportfolio.net/,1080,10 As you may have noticed, the site theme has changed to 'Dark Pro' (a custom theme you can also choose for your views). I have also added 'Purple Pro' which you can also choose for any view you create.

We all like to be unique when styling our views, this is the first expansion of the themes for ProfessionalPortfolio.net - don't be surprised if more are added soon.

You can contact me to suggest themes you'd like to see.

]]> Ben Sharman 2010-11-09T03:03:12+07:00 Themes http://www.professionalportfolio.net/,1015,10 Some of you will have already noticed the new (as of the 1.3 upgrade) ability to alter the theme of each view you create.

You can select a Theme when creating a new view or by using 'Edit Content and Layout'. The Theme selector is a drop down in the center of the screen.

Instantly your view will be transformed to the style you chose.

Keep an eye on this blog as I will be announcing some new Themes soon.
