It still follows the original theme design principle of providing a “non-blog” look, which is particularly suitable for niche content and review websites.

But, the big change is..  It now has a theme options page in the  admin back-end, where you can easily customize color and style options, without having to dive into the code.  Hence the name, “Flexy”.

Here’s a screenshot of the theme options admin page..

So it should be more user-friendly, especially for less technical people.  And be much easier to customize.

At present, it’s a version 1.02 release.  The intention is to develop it further, adding more theme customization options over the coming weeks.

PowerBlogger Flexy also includes some other new enhancements, in addition to the admin options:

1. A “Featured Post” facility.  Simply tag a post as “featured” and it will be automatically highlighted at the top of each post page.  Great for offers or special messages, you want your readers to really notice!
2. The theme has been updated to take advantage of new features included in WordPress version 2.7, such as threaded comments.

Hope you like it.  Do please leave comments here, with any feedback or problems etc.

All you have to do is tag the post as “featured” and it will be highlighted at the top of each blog page, above the other posts.
