I am always fascinated with themes using drop down menu and even better if it support more than 1 level of submenu. I would actually say 2-level submenu would be very much sufficient for most usage. Only one of my blog currently uses CSS Submenu because it has a lot of categories and the CSS Menu helps visitor to navigate around easily.

So to create a CSS Menu may just tough especially if you want to incorporate round corner, picture, mouse over and other graphical effect. I have found this great software which is free to use. It does not use java script and 100% css driven menu. The best is that if provides a GUI for you to configure your menu.

Getting a design converted from PSD to WordPress tedious work if you do not know what you are up to. There are services out there that charges for conversion. Devine Project is actually a free tool where you can convert PSD to WordPress Theme for free, yup, you can download and make your own theme for free. Of course, there is limitation but it is more than sufficient for you to make a theme with the free software provided by them.

I tried, it is not that simple, but they have some great step-by-step tutorial where you can follow to create the theme of your imagination.

This is an unique theme that you may not seen before. It is a WordPress theme that give you visitor a pleasant feel by telling them that you are changing. While doing that, it also ask if visitor would like to subscribe to your feeds or update via emails. It is quite a simple clean design but the idea is just great.

As you can see from the screenshot below, the theme, Changing Room is a free wordpress theme.

If you are a web designer or especially a rookie web designer (like me), you are sure to get into a situation whereby you are stuck because all the colours you picked does not matched. All you need is just a main theme colour, enter it to the RGB section on the bottom right towards the circle colour chart.

This is an example of the website screenshot. It is definitely very useful for designing logo, websites, name cards, and I guess every design work if you are not good at colour matching. It is a great help for me as I have used them for quite a while before they moved to this new domain.

Remember to click on the sample design, of light design or dark design. You can get a picture of how the matching of colours without guessing them.

Not to forget that you can also save your design, like my above design is using orange as the main colour. You get the colour scheme here.

This is no normal photo editor like Photoshop Express or other free photo editor. It is quite similar to Fauxto that was posted previously, but I like this better because it is much smoother and Fauxto was buggy then.

It is a very good photo editor with layers and most basic to intermediate tools you could find at a photoshop. But this is available for free and at the same time you could use this piece of software anywhere you go with a browser.

Below is my trial and I manage to draw something and download it without any problem.
