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:

1. It has (nomen omen ) options page or – settings – it means you can easily configure some vital functions of your blog (more about it below) .
2. It has Home page. Yes, it is very important if you would like to transform your Wordpress CMS from blog to Website.
3. 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.
4. Options being Parent Theme can be easily upgraded without you loosing your small “tweaks”.
5. The Theme comes preloaded with many other interesting features like inserting thumbnails into the posts and few Page Templates.
6. It has fantastic navigation.
7. 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.
8. 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.
