Options Theme
I decided to write a little bit about the theme I am currently running on the blog – not because it lacks documentation – it has splendid one at ThemeHybrid site, but because I would like to share my perspective – the perspective of a new to WordPress.org user.
The most important for me in this theme are following features:
- It has (nomen omen
) options page or – settings – it means you can easily configure some vital functions of your blog (more about it below) . - It has Home page. Yes, it is very important if you would like to transform your WordPress CMS from blog to Website.
- It has Child Themes – actually it comes with 3 (!) different looks in the pack (blue, grey and beige – all very nice). You can also, as member of Theme Club, download one more theme – Good & Evil – which I chosen on this blog.
- Options being Parent Theme can be easily upgraded without you loosing your small “tweaks”.
- The Theme comes preloaded with many other interesting features like inserting thumbnails into the posts and few Page Templates.
- It has fantastic navigation.
- One can “easily” add new functions by editing functions.php file – well, this is not really easy – but possible – and even I could do it by following the manual written by Justin Tadlock HERE.
- It has splendid look – and I write here not about the colours but about typography.
One can in relatively easy way transform WordPress blog into the centre of your “Internet life” – create your own personal or professional place on the web. Options “plays well” with most of plug-ins but honestly speaking – you will not need many additional.
