simple-microblog
This is a minimalist microblogging WordPress theme. After learning about the micro.blog project, I decided that I wanted to host my own microblog and use the micro.blog service to cross-post to Twitter, Facebook, and micro.blog.
Particulars
- Header image is the gravatar pulled in from the administrator's email address. To change the header image, change the administrator's email address and/or change your main image at Gravatar.
- There is an option in the post editor to suppress the title for posts on the homepage and single pages
- There is no main menu at the top. If you want a menu to get to sub pages, create a menu, then add a custom menu widget to the sidebar widget area.
