Tag support

The theme is compatible with Simple Tagging Plugin, Ultimate Tag Warrior and WordPress 2.3+ tagging system. If any of those plugins is active or you have WordPress 2.3+, the theme displays the appropriate tags for every post returned and a list with the most used tags. It also displays tag feed links (something the plugins lack).

• Back

Related posts

The theme displays related posts in single post view, based on tags (with WordPress 2.3+ or Simple Tagging Plugin/Ultimate Tag Warrior) and categories.

• Back

Feed subscription and social bookmarking buttons

Buzz and Yahoo MyWeb.

• Back

Email subscription form

If you specify a FeedBurner or FeedBlitz ID, the theme will display a one-click expandable email subscription form, so your visitors can receive your posts by email.

• Back

Post submission form

The theme will display a one-click expandable post submission form, so your visitors can recommend any post to their friends.

• Back

Contact form

If you create a page (Pages » Add New) titled �Contact� or whatever translation/phrasing you are using in theme-translation.php, the theme will display automatically a contact form at the end of that post that will send an email to the author. The form is spam-protected by Akismet (if the plugin is active with a valid key).

• Back

Comment notification

The theme will display a comment notification checkbox after the comment form, so your visitors can receive the comments to a given post via email.

• Back

One-click comment moderation

Always you are logged-in as administrator the theme will display comment moderation links (edit, approve/unapprove, delete, spam) for each comment, allowing one-click management.

• Back

Anti-spam filter

Comments and contact forms include an invisible filter that will reject most of the automated spam with no interaction required from you or your visitors. This filter uses an expirable timestamp and a hash and doesn't involve any HTTP connection or database query, so this kind of spam won't affect your server load.

• Back

Advanced feed management

• Enable or disable feeds by content: Posts, comments, comments for each post, categories, tags or bloggers.
• Enable or disable feeds by type: RSS 2.0, RSS, Atom or RDF.
• Specify alternate feed urls for posts and comments. If you enter a FeedBurner url, the feeds will be automatically redirected.
• Add related posts, categories, tags, social bookmarkers and/or attribution links to the feed content.

If you disable all feeds except for posts and comments, and you specify a FeedBurner url for both, you will ensure that all your subscribers are accessing only your FeedBurner feeds.

• Back

Search engine friendly

• Improved title and meta tags using all the information available: post title before blog name, post excerpt as description, tags or categories as keywords...
• Option to add a "noindex, nofollow" robots meta tag on archive pages (categories, searches, tags...) in order to avoid duplications that may harm your search engine positioning.

• Back

Ad system

Include ads (or any other type of content) into the theme by copying any given code into any of the files within the ads/ directory, depending on where you want them to show up (file names are self-explanatory on this matter, i.e. after-header-title.php, before-sidebar-left.php...). Check the ads/ad-targeting.txt file for more info and some samples.

• Back

Easily translatable

Easily translate (or change the phrasing of) the theme into any language by editing the theme-translation.php file. No need for mo/po files, the theme will be completely translated even for texts most themes won't take care of (i.e. title attributes).

• Back

Comments pagination

Specify the number of comments per page and the order (newest first or oldest first).

• Back

Numbered pagination

Digg-like pagination links. No more useless Next/Previous navigation.

• Back

Separated comments and trackbacks

Comments and trackbacks are separated and treated distinctly not only in single post view but all along the blog.

• Back

Changelog

Version 1.4

• Added more styled elements in CSS.
• Fixed a bug that caused an error with the CSS in some servers when percentage widths were specified.
• Fixed a bug that caused wrong related posts via categories.
• Changed some default theme options.

Version 1.3

• Fixed Gravatars (default avatar and rating now work correctly).
• Added tagline to header.
• Added post CSS classes.
• Fixed comment subscription issue (subscription box checked when commenter is subcribed).
• Changed some default theme options.

Version 1.2.1

• Fixed some minor bugs.

Version 1.2

• Added option to display dark-toned header (more contrast).
• Added option to display light grey background (in order to differentiate better content and navigation elements).
• Added option to display the pages menu on the sidebar.
• Now related posts are only displayed with full posts.
• Fixed some minor bugs.

Version 1.1.1

• Added automatically (via JavaScript) CSS classes indicating the user browser width to the body tag: lt800 (less than 800 pixels width), lt1024, lt1280, lt1400, lt1600, mt1600 (more than 1600 pixels), mt1400, mt1280, mt1024 and/or mt800. So now it's easy altering elements with CSS depending on that resolution. For instance the theme displays only one sidebar column if the browser width is lower than 1024 and the sidebar width is set as a percentage (try resizing the window).
