New WordPress Theme: WP-ParkIt
Now for something new and different from Solostream. We’ve been thinking about all the great projects that our clients have been launching but no one has focused on all those dreadful Coming Soon pages that display while you park your domain waiting for the site to launch. You now have access to a great solution for this situation – WP-ParkIt.
Got an idea for an amazing new site but have no content yet? Don’t settle for the typical landing page your hosting company displays. Park your new site with our newest premium WordPress theme, WP-ParkIt. A simple, yet highly customizable one page theme. Check out the demo site and you’ll agree its not our typical theme. Or you can see WP-ParkIt in action by checking out a small preview of another awesome theme coming your way soon.
Some of the new features include:
- A snazzy new theme options panel. Check out a preview.
- Fully customize the text and graphics on the landing page using the theme’s control panel.
- Easily integrate your social media connections like Facebook, Twitter and more.
- Collect and export email addresses from visitors who want to be updated on your launch.
So head on over to the WP-ParkIt sales page and park your site in style.
New WordPress Theme: WP-Inspired
WP-Inspired is the latest premium WordPress theme to roll off the production lines here at Solostream. If you take a gander at the screenshot (and demo site) you’ll notice WP-Inspired offers a few more splashes of color than some of our other recent themes like WP-Prosper and WP-Glide. In fact, we’ve given you ten different color options with this theme, and they’re all easily accessible via the theme settings page.
Like most of our recent themes, WP-Inspired is loaded with options. Multiple home page layouts, two featured content gliders, social networking account integration, recent photos galleries and a YouTube videos widget are just a few of the little nuggets you’ll have to play with. Be sure to take a peek at demo video on the WP-Inspired sales page to get the full run-down. Go ahead. Get Inspired.
Solostream Themes and WordPress 3.0 Menu Management Function
All our premium WordPress themes to use the new Menu Management function that shipped with WordPress 3.0. If you don’t have the latest version of your theme, you can download the necessary files from the Members Area (you’ll have to log in to access the files for download).
I also did a short screencast (below) to show you how the menu management system works. It’s fairly intuitive, but I’ve already had a few questions on it, so here ya go.
Why you should upgrade to WordPress 3.0 – In a word, security. The added functionality in WP 3.0 is great, but some people are happy with their current version of WP and prefer not to upgrade. It’s fine if you don’t upgrade, but it leaves you at greater risk of having your site get hacked. And I can tell you from experience, it’s no fun when that happens. So, for that reason, you should always run the most recent version of WordPress on your sites.
Now, here’s the tutorial I promised …
New WordPress Theme: WP-Prosper
WP-Prosper is the latest and greatest offering to join our growing stable of WordPress themes. Like all of our recent themes, WP-Prosper is a flexible theme that’s loaded with options and multiple home page layouts, as well as a clean, professional design to make your WordPress site really pop.
Here are just a few of the options. First, we’ve given you not one but two different featured content gliders; a narrow one and a wide one. We also added a nice little YouTube videos widget that you can simply drag and drop into your sidebar or footer. The the other addition is a simple Sales Page template that you can use to create a sales page or squeeze page. You can see all these options displayed on the demo site.
And of course, with the recent release of WordPress 3.0, we have integrated support for the slick, new WordPress menu system. I just posted a demo video on YouTube, so pop on over to the WP-Prosper sales page and check it out if you want to get a closer look.
New WordPress Theme WP-Glide
We just launched WP-Glide, the latest premium WordPress theme from Solostream HQ. In WP-Glide, we wanted to provide a clean, professional platform for the business website publisher as well as bloggers and online magazine publishers. So, we incorporated several different home page options, including a couple of options with some widgets positioned just under the top navigation bar. And like most of our previous themes, WP-Glide offers a built-in theme settings page that makes it snap to use.
New WordPress Theme WP-Aire Demo Video
I just added our latest theme – WP-Aire – to the WordPress Themes Store. WP-Aire is a collaborative effort between Solostream and a savvy designer named James Koster.
As with all our recent themes, WP-Aire is loaded with options, including 9 different color options and multiple home page layouts. If you take a look at the demo site, you’ll see we also incorporated video into the featured content area at the top of the home page. Also, we’ve had several requests for a theme similar to the Solostream site, so I managed to create a color scheme for WP-Aire that’s pretty close (although not exact)
I did a short demo video on WP-Aire, and you can watch it below.
New WordPress Theme WP-Ellie (Demo Video)
Our new WordPress theme, WP-Ellie, is now available, and I just uploaded a short demo video. YouTube is still processing the video, so it may be a bit blurry for the next hour or so.
Screencast: WP-Ellie Sneak Peek Part Two
I’ve been intchin to try out a new screencasting service called screenr, so I did a quick little screencast showing the various background images available on the soon-to-be-launched WP-Ellie. Enjoy!
New WordPress Theme WP-Ellie: Sneak Peek
This is the real Ellie.
Coming soon to a WordPress Theme Store near you … it’s a brand new WordPress theme we’re calling WP-Ellie, named after my lovable, but slightly overweight beagle (her name is Ellie). We’re still putting the finishing touches on her, but WP-Ellie should be out before Valentine’s Day. Perfect timing to buy your sweetheart a new WordPress theme.
Like many of our previous WordPress themes, WP-Ellie will have multiple home page layouts (see screenshots below). That includes a basic blog layout as well as several different magazine style layouts, one of which you can see on the WP-Ellie demo site. It also includes social networking site integration, including the latest tweet from your Twitter profile.
WP-Sublime WordPress Theme Demo Video
I managed to get a new demo video posted on YouTube this morning. The video is a little over 5 minutes long, and it shows you how easy it is to customize our latest WordPress theme, WP-Sublime. If you’d like to embed this video on your own site, just grab the embed code from the video or from the YouTube page.
