Tonight and for $55.00 (a double-digit numerical value), I purchased a Premium Theme! That’s right! I’ve got 30 days to try out my new WordPress theme.
The layout of this theme is VERY simple. And this time I like reading SMALLER fonts. I noticed LARGER fonts make reading MUCH slower. More spaces in between lines/paragraphs and contents/sidebars tend to distract me.
The meta data underneath the post title: “Written on [datetime stamp] by [author]” section for the ONE and ONLY excerpt found on the “index/front/home” page, followed by links for Edit, Categories, Tags and Comments section for the “single view” page.
The content is to the left of the sidebar widget. Five of my main/parent pages fit VERY nicely on the top navigation bar. But the “Site Title” feels too bulky for the small box on the upper right hand corner and on the lower left hand section of the footer. The “Search” form is located on the upper right hand corner.
The footer has the “Tagline” and default fields for RSS Posts and RSS Comments. Credit for the theme designer is given as usual here.
The most recent post entry is shown as an excerpt. The same goes for “Sticky Posts”. “Rate This” is shown on this excerpt.
“Recent Entries” show only the Post title; the meta and comments. “Recent Entries” can be changed via the “Reading Settings” of the Dashboard. A maximum of five “Recent Comments” is shown as excerpts.
