You don’t need to search for Excellent WordPress Themes which give you a Magazine Look along with simplicity and easy setup. Here is WP Max WordPress theme which you can download for free here<\/a> which is quite better after the freemium<\/a> wordpress theme we had covered previously.<\/p>\n

\"WP<\/a>Set Up Tutorial Guide :<\/strong> Once you install this Awesome theme you will get a new option under your Appearance Section in WordPress Admin named as ‘WordPress Max Options’ which has all the detailed options to set up and configuration settings. This theme is awesome not just for the final looks but for the settings it offers to the person setting it up because all the options are clearly defined and anyone can play with the theme the way they want to.<\/p>\n

The first option is ‘Features Manager’ which is the Features Category section where you need to Enter a Category ID which is a Number out of whose posts would be shown on the blogs main section with few links to the blog posts from that category. I would recommend to use smaller sized thumbnails on the front page because that would allow you to use the whole screen size and display many more things.<\/p>\n

The next option is ‘Latest News Manager’ which does not display any news stuff but shows the blogs latest posts along with thumbnails from the Images of the articles. Here you can also configure the number of posts with excerpt you want to display and few posts titles linked to the articles without the excerpts along with the thumbnails size. These posts are shown on the top center section only which is like the main part of your website where most of the visitors read through.<\/p>\n

The next part is Carousel Setup which is like a Gallery of Images shown on the center of the blog in a Horizontal Format linked to those Blog Posts. The Images are automatically grabbed from the respective blog posts automatically by the theme using PhpThumb script and all the thumbnails which are generated are stored in a ‘cache’ folder. It’s recommended to select a Category here whose most blog posts have atleast 1 good quality image within them. Try to set up up to 15-20 number of posts to be shown under this section which are shown in a beautiful looking Photo Gallery.<\/p>\n

Setup Front Page Categories is a feature where in you will be asked for 2 Category ID’s which displays articles from both of these next to next in which few posts with excerpts are shown and few Posts links are displayed. Along with this you can also setup the Number of Words you want to be shown as Excerpts under the main entries. Following this there is an option called as ‘Sidebar Tabs’ which is based on Ajax with 2 options and its recommended to keep this setting untouched since it’s just a good feature for your sidebar.<\/p>\n

The Video Options setting is an option where you need to enter a Video Category ID, and this script comes along with a Video Uploading feature with a player to show the videos on your blog. Since iam not going to upload or host any Videos on my blog i wont be going into detail into this one and remove this code – ‘include TEMPLATEPATH. ‘\/templates\/mediaplayer.html’;’ from the sidebar.php file to make sure any errors don’t popup. Though here is some info on this one – After you have created Video category, and before doing anything else, please locate this file in your theme root under \/wp-max\/ theme folder. The file is called category-VIDEOID.php replace VIDEOID by the actual ID number of your recently created video category. This will allow your blog to run custom template for videos.<\/p>\n

The Ad Manager is a beautiful option which can help you to set up advertisements on your blog with different slots given there for different networks. Just get the respective sized advertisements and paste their ad codes there which will show them directly on your blog. No need to edit your theme files or install any external advertisement plugins since this feature of Ad Manager is for you. The Flickr Gallery feature allows you to display your Latest Flickr Photos on your Blogs Footer but since i am going to install this theme on a Non-Personal Blog i don’t need this feature following which i will be removing the code for this Flickr Gallery Section.<\/p>\n

The Feedburner setting seems to be useless now because it asks you for FeedBurner ID (numerical value) which is now not available in the new feedburner which is owner by Google and it works on Text Based ID. Overall this is a seriously recommended theme for everyone who is looking for a Professional Look Blog.<\/p>\n
