Ah, that’s a shame, it would have been great.

Thinking out loud, it could be fairly simple to modify the theme to use tags as states rather than an advanced taxonomy (especially for me as I’ve removed the option to use tags).

Thanks for helping me get there, and really, really great theme, been such a pleasure to work with. I’d be happily to be of any assistance in development if any is needed.

OK, for anyone else looking to do this:

I managed to get rid of the RSS icons by deleting:

<a href="<?php echo get_term_link( $tax, $instance[ 'taxonomy' ] ); ?>?feed=rss2" class="rss">
<img src="<?php bloginfo( 'template_directory' ); ?>/images/rss.gif" alt="RSS" />
</a>

from /inc/widgets/category-taxonomy.php

I’m sure there’s a better way to do it, such as ‘off’, but I’m missing it.

Aha, deleting ‘show_count’ => ‘on’ all together seems to get rid of them, no such luck with ‘show_rss’ => ‘on’ though, I guess that’s defaulted to on, but where?

It worked out the box for me, I just had to remove all my sidebar widgets (including) for the Quality Control widgets to appear.

Ah, perfect, I was looking for something like this for my news site: internationalglobe.com.

This looks perfect, will try out and let you know soon.

Thank you for your excellent feedback.

1. Hmm, hadn’t thought of this. I thought the excerpts were needed in order to pull the user through to the story more. They also make it possible for the user to just scroll through the front page and get a quick overview of the days news.

2. Yes, the header is enlarged at the moment to include the Haiti appeal. This is only temporary. Usually there is nothing there, so the rest of the site is moved up by the height of the Haiti image.

3. Agreed, navigation is definitely needed here. I’m not actually sure if the vertical scrolling adds much to the site.

4. More pics.. OK. I may remove the ‘most popular’ section and make the verticle scrolling 100% of the width with a big image to the left of it. This would also allow room for some navigation.

5. Ah, hadn’t thought of this either. There is one main top nav “WORLD USA” and a sub menu “News Videos” to navigate that area. Would putting this be directly below the main nav make that more obvious?

Thanks again, great feedback, will have a think.

It’s still quite boxy and columny, but I’ve changed the top to break the form a little bit and add pictures to make it a bit less boring.

Better? Any further improvements on the home page?

I wrote the theme myself.

I just put each post in a div with css float:left and width: 33%, then they all line up.

Here’s my news/videos/blogs aggregator:

News

Still very much a work in progress.

Like it a lot. Might be back to listen to that mash up ??

Good work, clean, simple, but very appealing.

Thanks for the feedback.

You are right, it is a bit column oriented. I wanted it to be nice and easy to read, but it just looked dull and your eyes dart everywhere.

I’ve changed it a little bit at the top and I am going to try your suggestion and have the top left box, the two below and the three below that all be animated sliders.

Thank you,

Dan

Nobody got an opinion?

Sorry to keep bumping, really would love some feedback on this, positive or otherwise.

You may needs spaces before and after the dots.
