Grid Focus is a sharp looking theme.
Core-wise, it focuses more on style than functionality. Grid Focus was not built for the average blogger and / or wordpress.com user. I’m featuring this theme purely for its look.
First of all, I love the black and white. Black and white themes will only get more and more popular. Second, I like the expandable archive links. It’ll allow users to interact with your blog’s design. Third, whether it’s intentional, I agree with Derek’s decision to exclude the category link listing from the post meta data.
On the other hand, Grid Focus is not widget-ready. It has a lot of hardcoded links and areas that you have to manually customize. Again, this theme was not built for the average blogger. Also, Grid Focus is missing some functions like the wp_link_pages() in the page.php and single.php file. One last thing, Grid Focus doesn’t style its blockquotes to clearly separate regular text from blockquote text.
In the end, this theme has a lot of potential. The style is there. The personality is there. It just needs to get whipped into tip-top shape.
very good
I love the theme
Very good black and white, is professional.
Is a very serious site!, I’d suggest change colors! However well done!
Yes it is a nice theme. As you say it is not widget ready, but it is very easy to do remedy to that. I have on my blog posted a how to tutorial,that explains how to widgetise the theme. It should take anyone approx. 5 minutes to get the job done. You can read the tutorial on here.
Finally… I found very nice black n white theme
Whoop it into shape and ask Derek can u post up here.
It’s not illegal to feature themes. I don’t link directly to his download file.
Also, I’ve spoken with Derek before. He knows some of his themes are featured on this blog.
I dont mean that. I mean tell him, that your going to be featuring it, “with permission” and clean up the code a little for widgets and stuff.. like u stated in one of the above comments..
I’m sure he’s read my comments. I’m not in the position to edit the codes myself.
errm well..
if you cant edit the code. then..
any idea’s how to display recent comments on the theme?
Ive tried everything like…
Is there any other way to display them ?
The looks of Grid Focus Public is awesome; but the code inside, in my opinion is too bad. I try to make it the looks of GFP using Cutline 3 column. Easier for everyone, i guessed…
well,well,well…
