Classic WordPress Website Theme – Magazine by StudioPress Brain Gardner

Filed Under: WordPress CMS, WordPress Themes July 17, 2013

Brian Gardner is showing off the redesign of his Magazine Theme, which is already a classic.

WordPress Magazine Theme
The most recent version of the Magazine Theme for WordPress

If you look at the new features in the header, you can see why this is going was a great theme to use for Building a website with WordPress. (I now switched to Metro Theme)

The tabs at the top are great for extra pages, and the category links will make it easy to “theme” your site.

In Brian's post, he also shows the new configuration panel that will make it a lot easier to work with for the not-so-technical WordPress website builders.

With this theme, just like the Thesis theme, there are extra fields in the posting panel to give writers a simpler method for adding images to a post and have them show up in the correct positions.

I suppose that the new automatic thumbnail creation that is now implemented in a lot of  Studiopress themes (aff) will also be part of this theme…

WordPress Magazine Theme
The Old Magazine Theme Design

To be honest with you, there is one thing I don't like about this theme…. the colors used for the links and headers. As you can tell from my new website theme, I prefer blue!

The new version of Magazine now offers 7 colos styles, including blue. It is now also build as a responsive theme so you can look good on all kinds of mobile and other devices!

Finding the Right WordPress Pages Ordering Plugin

Filed Under: Weblog News, WordPress CMS October 5, 2008

Running a WordPress Based website produces a Lot of Pages.

But WordPress does not allow you to assign Pages to Categories, But this might be a great function to reduce the number of Links in your Page Menu.

So currently I am looking at the new Plugins from Andy Staines who creates some great Plugins like the "Page Category Plus"
Once I figured out how to use it, you will find the examples and Configuration and Usage Instructions on the Pages..
