"This is high-quality information..."The Guru Theme
Are you a guru, an expert, a coach or consultant? The The Guru Theme is what you need for personal branding and impressing your potential clients.
The Guru Theme for WordPress focuses on building your brand name and portfolio, by nurturing credibility and trust with your readers. It’s not a theme meant for Google Adsense advertising or annoying banners, although you can put them in if you want.
Right on top is a huge image space to create your own blog banners and headers, probably with a professional image of yourself.
Next, we have 3 sidebars in total, with the main wider sidebar on top of the other 2 sidebars, giving you massive flexibility on using WordPress widgets to completely customize the type of information you want to put out.
All the subscribe buttons and search form is neatly laid out right on top, with support for Feedburner RSS and email subscription.
However, the really cool part of The Guru Theme is the ability to have a complete testimonials page, with a rotating widget that displays a random testimonial.
To do this you need to install the WP Testimonials plugin and while creating your testimonials page, select the template “Testimonials” from the Page Templates section, and load up on the testimonials or portfolio information.
The plugin then allows you to add a random rotating testimonial in the sidebar, via widgets.

Can anyone advise why this theme is better than Super Adsense WP theme?
Looks great. I’ve had one problem. In the footer, under ‘The Guru Theme by Work at Home Guru’, there was a line break and then the ‘X’ that IE displays like would normally indicate a broken picture link. However.. clicking properties just gave me the site name. This was only in IE and not in Firefox. This was leaving the footer completely unmodified and untouched.
To correct.. I found I had to remove the line in footer.php that said:
php do_action(’wp_footer’)
Looks great now.
Is this going to cause me problems anywhere else? What does this line do?
Thanks.
