Mynxx WordPress Theme
Mynxx is a clean and conservative theme. It is equipped with a fantastic array of features such as support for RokBox and RokColorChooser.
Mynxx has a source ordering layout, which, even though the theme visually is left column, main column, right column, the actual code itself places the main column first. What does this mean for your site? Effectively, the search engine crawler will come across your main content first and process that.
