Graph Paper Press is branching out into new territory for March. Currently, a portfolio-style theme is in the works and should help fill a void in the world of WordPress themes. As a photographer, I spent nearly two years testing out a plethora of photo management systems, image galleries, flash templates, etc. You name it, I tried it. The planned portfolio theme will be packaged with a big slideshow on the homepage, three entry points to blog posts on the homepage and four widgetized areas. The theme will also come with the the custom Theme Options page, which allows for easy customization to help get you up and running in no time flat. When I get around to it, I will likely install this theme on my own personal photography site, which needs updating badly. The new theme will focus on simplicity with a modern feel. Plus, it will look great on mobile platforms, like the iPhone. So, if you have a Flash-based portfolio and want to make it accessible on mobile platforms, this theme will be for you.
In other news….
