Earth Garden
I love gardening and creating WordPress Themes. When the two come together the result is always rewarding.
Earth Garden is my latest theme. This theme uses a content slider plugin to display featured posts on the home page.
Customisation is easy. You’ll find instructions in the read-me file. Most changes are done via widgets and option page.
Features
Header Add: Open the header.php file and look for the following code:
<div class="header-banner-wrapper">
<a href=""><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/adtop.png" /></a>
</div>
You can change the ad image in your theme's images file and the link or place your adsense code between the div tags. But don't remove the div tags!
Content Slider (WordPress Content Slider Plugin): Download and install the plugin. Then activate it. Add the posts and images you want from the plugin’s option page. Visit plugin site for more information.
I used 720 by 280 for the slider’s dimentions.
Custom Page Template
Pages, not posts have an option in the editor page to hide the sidebar.
Extra Sidebar Header Style
Widgets have the default color set to yellow. That means every widget installed will have a yellow header.
After all the widgets you can add orange blocks. But they have to be added manually not via widgets.
To do so, open the file called, sidebar-default.php and look near the bottom for the following line:
<!--?php endif; ?-->
Delet everything that comes after if you do not wish to display the orange blocks.
Or change the title, that is the <h3> tag. Then place your code in the place <ul><li></li></ul>.
<div class="art-box art-block widget widget_recent_entries" id="recent-posts-2">
<div class="art-box-body art-block-body">
<div class="art-bar art-blockheader2">
<h3 class="t">Recent Posts</h3>
</div>
<div class="art-box art-blockcontent">
<div class="art-box-body art-blockcontent-body">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?p=1" title="Hello world!">Hello world!</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="cleared"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cleared"></div>

Please not that the demo site has to be compatible with many different designs and does not use widgets. You have to add widgets to customise your theme. Also note, if you want post thumbnails with a nice background image to display automatically, you need to upload your image with the editor’s image button. My demo does not have the thumbs activated, becaue the images are from another site.
