Details
The Charity theme allows for rapid deployment of a charity-focused site, with some of the common features found on such a site — though to be honest, it includes features anybody may like! This theme is based on Classic Blog, Minimalist but includes a number of additional features:
- Image galleries for both Pages and Entries
- Include an accent image in the site header
- Support for a navigation menu with links to Pages
- Easily configurable Facebook Like button
- Easily configurable Footer text
As well as the familiar features of Classic Blog Minimalist:
- Many 2- and 3-column page layouts
- 10 theme colors
- Easily manageable sidebars through Widgets and Widget Sets
