Extended Theme Description:

The Busy Bee Theme, designed by WooThemes, is the perfect theme if you want to showcase a large amount of media content on your blog or want to use WordPress for the powerful features included within the back-end system.

You won’t be disappointed with this theme, as it includes a number of key features important to many bloggers, including media management, advertisement options, and more.

Let’s take a brief tour of the theme. At the top of the page, you’ll find space to place your logo, links to your categories and main pages, as well as space for a 468×60 banner ad. In the top right of the theme, there is a link for readers to subscribe to your feed (comments, posts, and email), ensuring that everyone who visits your site will be able to find this area.

Further down the theme, there is a featured content area, ideal for placing a popular post or news story. Post excerpts and snapshots of the content included in the post can be displayed, although you are free to tweak this as you see fit.

Within the sidebar, there is a search box, tabbed area for placing Popular Posts, Comments, and Tags, saving critical space on your blog. You can utilize the split two/three column look by placing two categories side-by-side as well as banners, which display similar to larger sites.

Videos and Flickr photos can be displayed at the bottom, also in a manner that allows you to save space within your sidebar.

By the time you reach the footer, there is a three column layout, ideal for placing Recent Posts, Recent Comments, and another Text Widget, possibly a look at what your site/blog’s primary focus is.

Overall, I rate the theme highly due to the number of features and support you receive, making it a complete package for someone who would normally not be able to code the plugins or features into the theme without further support. You simply can’t go wrong with this theme (or the Theme Club, listed below).

Support: You can find support by visiting the forums or contacting the designers if your question is not answered by reading the forum.

Additional Features:

• Allows you to use the theme as a magazine or news site.
• Drop-down menus for both the page and category navigation areas.
• Plenty of advertisement spaces (9 in total) to monetize your site.
• Can easily be used as a personal blog with your Twitter feed.
• Easy-to-integrate options for your AdSense code, which will replace the standard image banners.
• A completely widget-ready sidebar and footer with custom widgets included in the theme packaging. No third-party widgets/plugins are required.
• More than thirteen amazing color schemes to choose from.
• Integrated Theme Options for WordPress to tweak the layout, color scheme, etc. for the theme.
• Automatic Image Resizer, which is used to dynamically create the thumbnails and featured images.
• Custom page templates for the Archives, Sitemap, and Image Gallery.
• Built-in Gravatar support for comments.
• Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice across the entire site.
