If you are planning on a new theme for your wordpress blog, you might want to give a thought to creating a ‘magazine style’ theme. A magazine style theme is a theme that looks like a newspaper print. Problogger.net is probably the most famous blog using such a theme.
The primary aim of such a theme is added functionality. You can show your top posts, your recent posts, a featured article… all on one page, the way problogger does it. Or you could show a post from each of your categories as Balkhis does it. Check out both blogs.
Syed Balkhi of Balkhis.com has come up with an e-book on designing a magazine style theme. Do check it out. Has plenty of neat illustrations to guide you through. If you do find it useful, do let us know.
thanks for the write up Angad. I really appreciate it.
no probs dude.
Loved the e-book so I decided to write about it.
