Due to popular demand, we have updated our free Corporate WordPress Theme again.

This time the change involves the drop-down menu. As users were asking about a fly-out option where they have multiple level of sub-pages, we have decided to incorporate this into the theme.

So we are happy to report that this WordPress theme now caters for multi-level drop-down menu.

To download the latest version of Corporate Theme, please use the download link in the Free WordPress Themes page.

The theme has been tested to be compatible with WordPress 3.0. But note that IE 8 renders the footer with an error message, this is due to the Javascript for the fly-out feature. Firefox and Google Chrome renders it OK.

The official music for this article is here, courtesy of The Rolling Stones. No, I am not really a big fan but strangely this great proggie by the name of Taskbar Shuffle reminds me of this long forgotten song. So turn up the volume and let Mick Jagger and gang take you back to a point in time when TVs rule and the internet was unheard of, while you read this short review.

Taskbar Shuffle v2.5
Type: Freeware
OS: Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT/9x
Note: Not for Windows 7, as taskbar shuffling is already a feature.

The same is said for the prototype designs of Onur Mustak Cobanli. A Ph.D student of industrial design at Politecnico di Milano in Italy, he has created some of the more amusing and interesting designs for USB flash drives that I have seen in a while.
