Extended Theme Description:

Groovy Video is a feature-packed multimedia and video theme designed for people who don’t like the traditional clean-lined themes that are available for people who enjoy publishing or sharing video through WordPress. It features a funky, color-packed and non-traditional layout that allows you to feature a video and showcase other recently posted videos all on the main page.

One of the key benefits of using this theme compared to many others on the market is not for the price – you could probably build your own theme or embed video into any regular theme, but you won’t have nearly the level of support and features that this theme contains, all bundled into a well-designed package.

For people that haven’t explored video publishing yet with their blog, this theme will show you how easy it is to get started. The header area is kept simple, as there are drop-down menus and a search box within the first fifty pixels of the top of the page.

Following this area, you can proudly display your logo and a 468×60 banner or any other relatively-sized ad to monetize and support your website.

The homepage of your website is divided into two (roughly) equal areas, with the left side dedicated to the featured videos – one playable video is displayed at the top, with its excerpt/description gathered from the post, followed by links to other featured videos. Your readers and visitors can browse and rate videos straight from the homepage. Beneath this, there is additional room for three 125×125 ads, although it wouldn’t be extremely hard to customize this area to fit an additional larger banner ad.

The right side of the page features thumbnails of videos along with a category selector. It is a simplified archives view, showing a short excerpt of the content from the post, the title, number of comments, and the star ratings found elsewhere.

Using the footer, your readers can find Most Popular and Random videos, making use of a thumbnail “slider.” Finally, the theme splits into a three column layout, ideal for content that you wouldn’t place within the upper, more simplified area – the demonstration blog places Tags, Recent Comments, and a Subscription area here.

All in all, the theme is powerful and offers a set of features that few other themes have or can even come close to matching. Take the theme for a demo today and think about all the ways that you will be able to use it to feature your video.

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:

• Super-easy functionality to create video posts.
• Videos are resized automatically and the theme even publishes the embed code for your readers.
• Integration with the WP-PostRatings Plugin to add some interactivity through star ratings and “coolness.”
• Sidebar is completely widget-ready and includes the popular custom widgets WooThemes uses. This means no searching for other plugins or installing plugins manually.
• 17+ amazing color schemes. Depending on the license/package you purchase, you’ll be able to easily edit the PSD file.
• Integrate theme options panel to customize the layout, color scheme, and more for the theme.
• Threaded comments for WordPress 2.7 and higher.
• Custom page templates for your Sitemap and Archives pages.
• Built-in Gravatar support for comments.
• Three integrated ad spaces, which are suitable for both images and your AdSense code.
