[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Anonymous[/u][p]Boy o boy did she state the truth.  Themes are definitely not Geeklog's strong point.  I've been looking at other CMS' and I am blown away at the amount of themes available. So much so, I'm itching to switch.  No theme choices when I start a new Geeklog project.  Every time I install or even upgrade a new Geeklog site, I have to start from scratch with a new Professional theme.  Mainly because of all of the customizations that I do to the layout, which shouldn't matter on upgrades, but it always does.  Kudos to glfusion to taking notice to this issue.

Many people have asked about themes in the past only to have people in the community point them to the Geeklog Demo site.   :blahblah:  Haaa! Haaaa I say!  Each one of the themes look like they are from the late '90s.  Lynn is right and I am glad to hear her point it out.  Hear that fellas?  Not one theme is suitable for this  cutting edge christian website.

It was great to see the interest that the [url=http://www.glfusion.org/]glfusion[/url] team has in creating a more up to date experience with their new CMS.  Though I don't have much experience with it as of yet, I have an [url=http://hadtobesaid.com/]install[/url] I am working with and it's definitely a step up.  Though I don't care for mootools –since I prefer jQuery.  Their CSS structure also needs some getting used to. And finally I wish their Media Gallery wasn't so buggy. It's definitely no replacement for Gallery2 (menalto). Personally, I prefer Geeklog and Gallery2 to GLfusion.  Suprsidr's [url=http://www.flashyourweb.com/staticpages/index.php?page=Gallery2Bridge]G2Bridge[/url] is terrific.  Though I can see if improvements are made to Media Gallery, it will easily become the preferred choice.

It may be a good idea for the Geeklog team to consider changing the theme on their main site.  It's been this way for over 5 years if my memory serves me correct.  I understand that most of you are coders and geeks and really don't care about aesthetics and may not have the experience in graphics, but you've been around longer than most CMS' and their popularity has trumped Geeklog a 100 fold.  I think most of this is due to the amount of Designers creating themes.  What better way to showcase the functionality of Geeklog than to have a fantastic demo?  Rather than seeing something that looked like it died with the dotcom burst of '98.  Seriously. I think Lynn makes the point rather nicely.  You have this great app that few know about, and those that do find you are turned off because of the lack of themes and design.
