Theme: Ocean mist 1.1 Author: Ed Merritt URL: www.edmerritt.com This document contains instructions on how to get the most from the Ocean Mist Theme. Before we start, it's worth installing Widgets from http://automattic.com/code/widgets/ Wide or Narrow Columns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I often get asked how to make the content column wider, usually to include images/videos which are too wide for the narrow column. To remedy this I have included 2 versions of the homepage (index.php) and the post page (single.php). Currently the default is to use narrow columns when the theme is installed, to swap to wider columns, simply rename index2.php to index.php and single2.php to single.php. Incase you ever want to swap back, it's probably worth renaming index.php and single.php first so they are not overwritten. Pages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pages can be displayed either down the sidebar, or as tabs accross the bottom of the header image. If you have more than about 5 or 6 pages, or are using sub-pages, they'll need to be displayed in the sidebar. However, if you only have a few pages, to display them as tabs, rename header2.php to header.php. Categories ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By default, categories display at the bottom of the main column in a 3 column list. If you use sub categories, these will not be displayed by default. To display them, categories will need to be displayed in the sidebar as a regular list.
