Extended Theme Description:

Expression is a recently released premium WordPress theme from Blog Oh Blog featuring a soft-colored and feature-packed layout.

While I am not the biggest fan of non-white and colored themes, this one appears to be well-styled and creates a different look for your website.  Instead of the traditional post-post-post layout, this one contains a post-excerpts block layout.  This allows you to have a faster loading website, while still displaying a collection of your most recent posts.

One of the main features that I like about the theme is the fact that you have full control over many of the options that would normally be hard-coded into the theme.  However, there is also a downfall due to this – some control over the advertisements shown (for easier administration of advertisements) should be added.

However, with the number of options (briefly targeted below) integrated, there won’t be many times you’ll need to enter into the theme editing area with no clue which line of code to edit.

Additional Features:

  • Full screen-width to fit all resolutions.
  • Tabbed menu.
  • Advertisement space for both 125×125 and 468×60 banner ads.
  • Unique ticker to display custom news and information to your users.
  • Social bookmarking options built into every post.
  • Excerpt boxes for older posts.
  • Widget-ready sidebar.
  • XHTML and CSS valid.
  • Theme options in theme admin panel (release post has a larger screenshot than provided in the images above).

Options:
- Sidebar Position – The position of your blog, either left or right.
- Blog Posiiton – Position of your blog, either left or right.
- Excerpts – You can toggle the functionality of excerpts, if turned off, your blog will appear as a normal blog -with no excerpts.
- Search Text – Text displayed in the search field in sidebar, this option allows what text should be displayed.
- Advertisement Options – Toggle on or off the banner space.
- Popular Posts/Recent Comments – You can toggle the popular posts and recent comments section above the latest post.
- Ticker – Choose to have the ticker display or not.
- Gravatars – Choose whether or not you want to display Gravatars in the comments.
- Comments on Pages – Choose whether you want to display any comments on static pages.
- Social Bar – Turns on or off the feature that displays a social bookmarking bar below each post.
- Footer Page Links – Removes (or adds) additional navigation links in the footer.

License Breakdown:

• Single Use Package ($49.99) – The single use package allows you to use the theme on a single website.  This theme is priced cheaper than many other premium themes and other themes created by Jai.

• Developer Package ($150.00) – This package allows you to use the theme on multiple sites/domains.
