Customizing this theme:  This theme has 2 main feature which can be edited:

1. Custom Links on the left pane
2. Vertical (left pane) and Horizontal ads (top)

1. Custom links on the left pane:

Open the 'URL.TXT' file present in the ANDREAD09-BE folder. It has multiple lines which look like this:
<a class="nav" href="#">Link1</a><span class="hide"></span>

You just need to replace # symbol with the actual URL (website link) and replace 'LINK1' with the display name. Like this example:
<a class="nav" href="http://blogs.gusac.net">Gusac.Net</a><span class="hide"></span> 


To add multiple lines, simply copy paste the code and change the URL and display name :)

2. Vertical (left pane) and Horizontal ads (top)

To display your Adsense ad or any other ad, simply copy the code and paste it in the VERTICAL_AD.TXT OR TOP_AD.TXT file present in the Andreas09-BE folder. Make sure the you put Vertical advertisement in VERTICAL_AD.TXT file and Horintal ad block in TOP_AD.TXT file.

 I did try them all but all of them required few customization and though they were supposed to run 'off the shelf', they did not. Yes, that includes quite famous scripts on internet that come up at the top when you google.
