Description

Based on a joke my brother-in-law made, Subtle is the first public theme released by Frazier Media (originally Glued Ideas). Designed for sites that have multiple authors, Subtle also makes use of WordPress Widgets, making customization a snap.

Features

  • Built for blogs with multiple authors. Each writer can have their own archive and information page.
  • Select which categories of posts you want to show on the front page.
  • Show front page posts in full (as leads) or just the title, or any combination of the two formats that you choose.
  • Supports user-created styling through automated header creation.
  • Download additional looks from other users or at Glued Ideas Development Blog. (http://blog.gluedideas.com)
  • Full WordPress Widget Support. (http://automattic.com/code/widgets/)
  • Photoshop files are included with the installation package.
  • Built-in FeedBurner support.
