Revolution 3.0 Released
July 26, 2008
I am proud to announce that I have officially released Revolution 3.0 theme - from a style standpoint, the updated version isn’t much different than the original - most of the changes have come on the backend and the code.
One difference is that this theme will come in three flavors - the original color scheme, as well as a new black and a new blue one. View the original theme, the new black theme or the new blue theme. (you can also toggle when viewing the demo by clicking on the Theme Colors drop down in the navbar.)
The biggest change in this theme is the backend to the homepage. Originally, all of the content on the homepage needed to be modified within the theme files, but all of that is now accessible through the Theme Options page. (very important in my opinion for those wanting an easy solution for a CMS!)
Some of the changes that have been included are:
- Both sidebar areas are widget-ready
- Theme options page inside WP dashboard
- Comments section coded for Gravatars
- Archive & Blog page templates
Because I made quite a few changes to the code within the theme files while updating the theme, I suggest using the 3.0 version from scratch. Unfortunately too much has been changed for me to provide a change log where you could add code to your existing files.
I will be sending out an email within the next day that will provide you instructions on how to download the latest version of the Revolution theme.
A theme options page for your dashboard that looks like this:
