Home run, dude. There’s nothing else to say really.

Although, I’m kinda pissed … I had the rotating feature posts thing in the hopper for a future theme release myself! Obviously, I hadn’t gotten to it yet. Oh well, early bird gets the worm :-)

Excellent job!

THIS IS AWESOME… im gonna have to get this theme for one of my other blogs. Thanks brother. They keep getting better and better.

Hello Michael,

This is one excellent looking theme. It really does have some nice features. Great work! I do have a few questions. Is there a new and dedicated text box or console for the Author Bio Info? Once signed up for a Gravatar account where and how is this configured in a Wordpress post?
On Dec 18, 2007, Mads said:

Yeah, I’d like to know how to access the Gravatar feature as well…

I really like this theme. Quick question - I’m currently using the Zeke 1.0 theme on my blog, and I think the background and color scheme really fits my subject manner. Is it possible to alter this theme to use the colors and background of the Zeke theme?

Great theme. However with the impending Wordpress 2.5 launching out soon, will there be a new version for this? I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more for a newer version with my juicy extras.

Derek:

I’ve tested the theme with WP 2.5 and it works fine.

Michael,
your magazine theme is a fantastic design. Downloaded and installed all the main features using WP 2.5 no problems at all so far. Having great fun customising the rest.
Two questions:
1 - how do I split the large advertising banner into 4 squares and assign adverts to them
2 RSS feed - how do I set this up? All i get is a screen of code. I’ve set RSS up on other sites but not able to get this one going.
Anysuggestions?
Cheers
Steve

Michael,
Just wanted to thank you for answering all of my questions about this theme. You’ve made this an easy buying decision and I’ll let you know when it’s been applied to some of our hybrid vehicle websites.

Is it 2.5 compatible?

Are the ‘Featured’ posts on the top of the theme based on category or something eles?

How can I get my images to automatically show the same nice little border that shows on the post thumbnails and the feature photos?

>>>>> How can I get my images to automatically show the same nice little border that shows on the post thumbnails and the feature photos?

Brooks … try adding this to the bottom of your Stylesheet:

.singlepost .entry img { border:1px solid #ddd !important; background:#fff !important; padding:1px !important; }
On May 6, 2008, Brooks Van Norman said:

Hi Michael: How can I get a photo in the glider for the “About” page (or any other Page that I choose to include in a ‘featured’ category?…I tried the “home_feature_photo” key and it didn’t work…

…thoughts?

Got your template today — very cool. But, i’m trying to add some other plugins and they aren’t showing up. One in particular is Stephan Spencer’s SEO title tag plugin….

Hello… I have a problem with your theme. On my website I need to have post in multiple categories. The problem is that on the front page the post are shown in multiple copies. If the post is in 3 categories (or subcategories) it gets displayed 3 times, if its in 2 then it get displayed twice. Can you helo me with this?
