Magazine Theme release notes by Small Potato

Yet another magazine theme, but this one is different and actually useful? I hope so. When Templatic approached me with the task creating a new magazine theme, I asked myself, “is there room for another one?” After doing some research and looking at the current selection of WordPress magazine themes, the answer is yes, there is.

There’s room for a theme whose layout features aren’t based on guess work and Javascript effects. Something that has the magazine look and feel to it, but simple, useful, and easy to set up. I wanted to avoid yet another fancy and complicated layout, avoid designing a new theme just for show, which is great to look at, but difficult to use after purchase.

Most magazine themes requires multiple images, custom fields, and complicated theme options for main categories and sub categories to set up the front page, Reinvent is designed to let you do all that, optionally. That’s the key here. While most magazine themes requires you to do this, this, and that for set up, which is more difficult to install than WordPress itself, Reinvent is easy to use and set up without loosing the magazine look, feel, and features.

Beyond ease of use, Reinvent isn’t lazy. Take a look at other magazine themes and compare their inner page designs with their front page designs. While the front pages are decked out with fancy layout features and Ajax effects, the inner pages are often neglected with not much attention given to texts, images, post meta data, and especially the comments template.

Reinvent is easy, simple, and complete. If it isn’t, blame Bhavesh! Ah… I kid, I kid. Seriously, thanks to Bhavesh and Templatic for giving me the opportunity to add simplicity to the often complicated magazine theme.
