ReviewSaurus 2 : Unique WordPress theme!
I’m not sure if it’s unique or not but the idea was unique for me. Rajat and me were thinking of a different kind of layout for ReviewSaurus and we’d decided that we don’t want that regular magazine style theme but we want something different.
Anyway, we came up with the idea of displaying three categories on the homepage and thought that each post will be posted in these categories only and the post will get updated in that particular section only.
It’s not like normal blog where the recent posts are displayed at the top and then older ones towards the bottom, It’s not a magazine style theme, it displays latest post in a category and then gives the links of last 5 posts in that category.
Currently there are 3 categories : software reviews, web applications and tips and tricks and most of the posts will be under these categories only. There may be few post which won’t find perfectly under these categories (like this current post) but will be posted in the most closely related category.
The idea of this theme was to ensure that it loads up quickly and gives a neat and pleasant experience to the readers as I think that previous theme was just too much cluttered and we decided to concentrate more on typography on this theme.
Please give your feedback on the current theme and I would be thankful to you if you can take your time and cast your vote in the Poll (which you see in the sidebar).

Hey Mayank,
Good work, But needs a lot of improvement. Its a very good idea when it comes to posting only 3 categories. As for the improvements :
1) Why fixed-width?
2) White & Grey ? Right sidebar with Grey on Grey needs working.
3) There are minor bugs with comments overlapping.
Rest are cool.. Nice work you guys :) :)

The sidebar is quite good, but I really hate the content, header and navigation area. It looks as if good thought and effort went into making sidebar,and the rest was just slapped on.
Also, the search on top does not look like search at all – no ‘go’ button, or border for the text field.

Good design, I feel colors could have been better than black and grey.

One more suggestion, add a navigation for previous posts, which are not displayed in home page.

I've lost my Windows XP sounds when I log in but this doesn't happen when my son logs in. How do I fix this problem?
