cleanRoar boasts a clean and light design. It makes the readers experience effortless. It is easily accessible and customizable for your needs. It features a primary two-column design, the left main content column and the right sidebar. The right sidebar is subdivided into two columns as well. The thin one was originally intended for a banner ad. Both sidebar columns are widget ready. The new version of cleanRoar supports multiple styles/skins also.
cleanRoar has a functional back-end that allows you to enable/disable the ad showing in the sidebar. It can be a single banner image or a javascript from your preferred advertising service.

Love the seasonal theme . . . great ideas for Christmas and Valentines – have to give it a go
hi there, i love the cleanroar design, i was wondering if the style can be easily modified to have just a single sidebar %28same width as the current two side bars%29?
Richard, if you know your way around PHP and CSS it shouldn’t be too much trouble. You need to edit the
sidebar.phpfile and remove the line that loads one of the sidebars. They are towards the end of the file. Then you need to edit thestyle.cssfile. Search for#sidebar,#sidebar_smand#sidebar_big. Adjust the width of the sidebar you did not disable to 340px (accounts for padding and margins) or set it toauto. This should do the job…hi there… thanks this worked perfectly. Love your work! Richard
Hi
This is a lovely theme. I have a question. I only want sidebars on the home page of my blog. I want to suppress them on the other pages. Please can you tell me how to do this? Thanks very much.
Hello!
In order to achieve this, you will have to edit
sidebar.php,style.cssandheader.php. Insidebar.phpyou will have to check if the home page is displayed and then accordingly either display it or not. Instyle.cssyou will have to attach a class to#contentthat will change the width to 950px. Inheader.phpthe#contentshould have that class if the home page is not displayed.
