Howard Theme
My static site is now almost complete and I’ll be uploading it as a WordPress Theme very soon. On the sample site I have tried to compliment an easy on the eye gray and white color scheme with some spot color. There’s a feature article section on the main page, together with the last 3 or 4 articles including any videos. Older articles can be accessed through a sidebar thumbnail preview section with their headings and the first few lines. Below this you have both Twitter and Facebook feeds.
On the header you have a full width image together with full social network navigation, email link and an RSS feed. Site navigation is accessed through a clean uncluttered sidebar with a site search box below.
I hope you like the look, soon you will be able to go to WordPress Themes, search for Howard Theme and download it. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.
It looks from the screenshot that you broke up the columns there with a big post next to a menu and below it … maybe a widget area on the left and a column of recent posts on the right? I like the layout. And the full-width header image which is pretty trendy right now. Did you take the photo yourself?
Hi Ian
Thanks for the tips, I’m still tinkering with some of it and working it into a WordPress theme. Any ideas are welcome, Krista has put me onto your tutorials.
Hi Dave 🙂
I heard about your site from Andy. Just wanted to chime in and say that I like the peaceful look of this theme. Why’d you call it Howard?
Hey Valerie
Thanks, Andy’s a hard taskmaster so he’s been cracking the whip pushing me on with my coding skills! I called the theme Howard as it’s my middle name, no other reason 🙂
