Theme installation: we recommend WordPress Version 2.9+ as the base..

Installing this theme is quite easy. Once you got the theme and extracted the zip-file, upload the themes folder to your wp-content/themes/ directory.
Now, being in the themes folder on your site, click to the folder /scripts and set the user rights for the cache and temp folder to 777 (files and folders)

Next, login your WordPress Dashboard and go to the Appearance - Themes and activate the theme.

Plugins

There are no additional plugins included. You don’t have to install any plugins — the theme works fine and does not require you to install a plugin. However, any plugin will work as with the default theme.


Getting started

Once the theme is enabled you will find in your post editor a Post Thumbnail Option which is enabled by the theme. Here you can set images to display in the slider on top. Wordpress will create the correct size automatically.

Sidebar and Bottom content:
Under Appearance you find a link to Widgets, you see available widgets supplied by WordPress and eventually any plugin and you see on the right of this screen the Sections of the theme ready to take a widget.
Just drag them in and activate them.
Any Content the theme displays by default will be completely replaced by the first widget in this section! However, "deleting" all widgets in a section will show the default content.  

Threaded Comments

The theme supports WordPress’s in-built threaded comments functionality. To use this feature you need at least WordPress 2.7+ and you have to enable it on your Settings > Discussion page. Recommended comment nesting level: up to three levels deep.
We recommend to tick off "Break comments into pages..", means do not paginate them - a long story not to discuss here.

Advertisements

by using widgets you can replace the current adds easily, or you follow the guide below to edit the files containing them.

There are three main advertisement places in the theme. For your convenience these are located in three different files, eg. addbannercontent.php (486x60px), addheadright.php (486x60px) and addsidebarsquare.php(250x250px) in you themes folder.
These files contain only a link to the image replacing your adds. ( like this: <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/banners/square.jpg" alt="banner square" /> )
So by replacing this line with your script you will load your advertising in the according places.
