Plugins, menus, shortcodes, slider and the gallery

This theme is created around the awesome WooTumblog plugin that is distributed for free. This adds more post types like audio, video, quote, aside and photo. Now you can publish all your media in an appealing way.

Another free plugin that is used is Share Buttons by Lockerz.

The theme supports two WordPress menus, one at the top, which is the header menu, and the main navigation menu in the sidebar.

Shortcodes are a great feature. You don’t have to use HTML tags to style text. Why? Because shortcodes will style text for you. Headings, lists, uppercase text and more, can be used all in an easy way to implement.

The image slider provided can be used to publish image slides on multiple posts on the same page, from the options panel you can set the height of the slider.
