Joe — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:11:28 +0000

We’ve lost a lot of sleep toiling over every pixel of this theme and now we’re releasing into the wild. The Insomnia theme is great for online magazines and personal blogs. This amazing design makes a perfect backdrop for any content and ships with plenty of layout and customization options.

Demo | Details/Buy

Here a just some of the many reasons why you’ll love the Insomnia theme…

Customizable Homepage Slider

You can completely customize the homepage featured posts slider to your liking. You can set it to display posts from specific categories or tags and set the order to popular, recent or random. You can also set the slider to auto rotate and how fast it slides.

Automatic Post Thumbnails

We’ve made using post thumbnails ridiculously easy. No more sizing, cropping and creating multiple images for every post. Choose/upload one image and the theme does the rest.

Grid/List View Layout Options

Choose grid or list layout view for your post/page excerpts; i.e. categories, archives, search results etc.

AJAX Random Posts Loader

We’ve included a great way to get older posts seen with this AJAX powered Random Posts Loader in the footer of every page. When a visitor clicks the “load more” button four new posts will pulled in and displayed.

Dark and Light Skins

This theme comes with two skins, dark and light. You can change skins easily from the theme options panel.
