If you’re selling property in France, you soon find that it’s an expensive business when you go through traditional estate agents. Typically you’re looking at anything from 5% to 10% of the list price going in charges.

However, it doesn’t need to be like that. If you have property for sale in France, you could try out the newly spruced up website at France Property Shop where instead of a percentage that ends up costing you tens of thousands of pounds for a typical property, you’ve all of £70 to pay for six months advertising.

Naturally, you can’t depend on it selling your property but that’s the case for any estate agent too. Certainly, if you have your pricing right, it’s going to be worth trying out.

I’ve been plugging away with the SevaTeem theme off and on over the last month or so and it’s now complete enough to let me try it out on various blogs that I run.

Obviously since I designed it mainly for me, it runs quite nicely on a number of those blogs but one or two have highlighted little things that I’d like to do with it. For instance, An Age of Magic uses a dark background therefore I needed to be able to change the colour of the various fonts used so that added a few options. That sorted out a lot of stuff at a stroke as it also lets me change the background image and not need to dive into the stylesheet to change colours as they’re all laid out on the options screen now.

One or two little “funnies” turned up when I tried to add in various bits of HTML in the sidebars by way of widgets so I’m going to be adding one or two options along those lines or perhaps buildin a widget that’ll deal with those issues.

This blog uses a fixed width so I’m currently working on adding that as an option. SevaTeem is a fluid width theme but I want to be able to use a fixed width as well.

Why all the options? Basically because I want SevaTeem to be the only theme that I ever need.
