After the succesfull launch of the beautiful Traveler 1.0 theme I want to explain how the different layouts work and give you a preview to the new feature that will be added probably later today to the theme (and CelebrityPress too).
As you’ve previously know, I’m having serious problems with my same old hosting provider Bluehost…30 minutes after I’ve released Traveler Theme yesterday the whole server went down for about 1 hour…not good for business at all right?
I was ready to move everything to Media Temple at the beginning of the week but it is a process that will take a little bit longer than expected because I’m in the middle of coding a new brand and shiny home for Plug and Press and I want to finish the theme and open shop in the new hosting provider with everything in place. That will include the release of the Real Estate theme I’ve been teasing you about (I will post another entry with the custom plugin screenshot).
Now let me tell you about the exciting new features, all themes will include a layout selector for homepage, this is an advantage for those who want to use the theme as a magazine or a normal blog, they will be able to select the home page style right from our popular Theme Options page, this brings the possibility of new themes launching with 4-5 different layouts for you to choose, the key in the new themes will be personalization and making the theme look the way you want with easy tweaks theme also like the new theme Traveler 1.0 all future themes (CelebrityPress included) will feature a “Clean” style for you to customize to your heart’s desire, this file will be properly commented with everything in place for you to add colors and graphics easily.
An upload your own logo form the Theme Options is in the works as well as a Featured Content Slideshow and Audio Music Player where you can have your playlist right in the Admin (Great for Music Themes).
Two new themes are in development stages now and I will be able to post some screenshots later (Think about Music…).

I know…I know.. It has been delayed a little bit because major improvements in the code and functions, right now I’m working on the Agent Photo upload. I hope to finish everything this weekend.

Hi, Can you use this theme’s on your own hosted wordpress?
does it changes a lot to the WP database and php stuff or is it all done in the theme itself?
This theme looks cool, layout is really great
I’m considering to get it. But afraid it is to much technically enhancing WP, which i would not like for messing with future upgrades of wordpress itself and so on.
cheers,
Vincent

Yes Vincent, all this themes are for your self hosted version of WordPress.
Everything is done within the theme itself , you will not have to deal with database or core WordPress files.
I will help you with the setup, actually if you follow the PDF instructions provided is actually pretty easy even if you don’t know too much of WordPress.
Here is a link to the Theme Options page.
