"Paraty Black" is one of the e107 themes I did with Search engines in mind. It is not graphically the best, I know. It is old fashioned, I know. It does its own tricks! It rewrites the news titles for google and co, so I get nice .html files Works by e107 theme and mod rewrite, so no core hacking is done. This way it is more "blog" like. For a private site I think the better choice over furl, which does better results if you got your main content in the e107 forum.

What is a Theme?
Back in the mid 1970s, programming code became so immense that changing even the smallest part of a piece of code could have unpredictable effects in the other areas of the program. This led to the development of a concept called modular programming, which essentially broke the program down into smaller more manageable junks that were called upon by the main program when needed. The term for modular programming these days is separation of concerns or SoC. But no matter what you call it, this is its function.
In e107 a theme contains a set of modular code containing XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). In its most basic explanation, XHTML allows us to take a text document, create a link to other documents, and the eXtensible part of the language allows you to create your own tags describing data. Thus a program like e107 can use these tags to extract the information it needs. The data shouldn’t show up on the screen like a computer printout; CSS is employed to define the layout of the various elements and tags such that they may be viewed with consistency by all browsers.
