Using Blogzilla

  • Activating the theme
  • Title and tagline (leave tagline blank to remove it from the header)
  • Adding/changing a custom header image
  • Header image specs (size, transparency)
  • Choosing a color scheme
  • Showing/Hiding authors
  • Filling out your author profile
  • Adding/changing a navigation menu
  • Sidebar widgets (leave the secondary sidebar blank to remove it)
  • Making a child theme

Future features

  • Featured posts
  • More color schemes
  • Alternative layouts (left sidebars, single column, etc)
  • Universal social sharing
  • Custom favicon?
  • Tumblr-like post types? (photo, quote, link)
