I have just finished my first ‘Premium’ template. Built on v9.9.0 with some major template changes to the default yget template.

Main page:

Story page:

It comes Adsense ready, with 1 vertical 120×240 ad in the sidebar and 2 468×60 banners on the upcoming and published pages, the story page has 1 468×60 banner on it.

I also decided to use Art Viper for the thumbs instead of websnapr as I didn’t like the watermark websnapr used.

I removed the story tabs as well, each story now has the “comment”, “who Voted” and “related” tabs shown below each story post.

I add a new page that shows member RSS feeds. Currently it is setup to show the feeds of the top 25 members. At this time, you will need to manually edit this page and feeds each time you want to add or remove a feed, but its a great feature to get people posting. I am also working on a way to show a rotating bar on the main page that will show one RSS feed at a time, from the list of member RSS feeds.

I would like your thoughts on this theme.
