. . .but it’s not one of the 2 listed in the previous poll. . .doh! After looking into the Content Press theme, I found that it only had the 1 spot for a feature post. The latest post is in another color scheme, but the posts under it are in the normal ‘blog style’. . .just 2 per row.
After looking around some more I ended up finding 1 called Neko. If you notice in the sidebar of Neko, it lists the latest posts. So when a returning reader comes back they can quickly scan down the sidebar(much like they would on the index page here). . .just in a more compact way.
It also has 3 different areas for featured categories. I think the middle top 2 will be great for the latest ‘free’ and ‘paid’ apps. Then on the right I can have some popular categories(which lists the latest from the category, plus 5 more).
Then in the middle, under the top 2 featured categories, it lists 3 categories. There I can put 3-4 other categories(maybe more) and have that as the front page of the website.
This will be the theme(unless something horrible happens). I went ahead and purchased it(cheaper than the Content Press theme too!), and hopefully will get it up this week. I would do it tonight, but I have to work tomorrow so I should go to bed at a reasonable hour. I think it will take 4-5 hours to initially work out the placement of things and learn the theme. I would hate to have to go to sleep(and then go to work) and the theme be incomplete.
Psst, graphic designers. Soon after the launch of the new theme I will be doing a contest to get a new logo that matches, fits, etc.
Hey Doug,
I made a comment on your other post suggesting two other themes but I guess you need to approve it or the comment filter rejected it for some reason. Anyways this new theme you posted here looks great! I look forward to your new theme. :)
Hey, For some reason Akismet said your comment was spam
I have my days mixed up(I go to work Monday, not tomorrow), so if things work out I might have everything up by today.
