Extended Theme Description:

The Dark Side is a premium magazine site from Jerico Systems.  While the theme has been ported from the WP-Magazine.se theme, it features a dark look, which some prefer over the clean, white and black theme that the original theme consisted of.

The main page features several of the popular elements that are built into most WordPress blogs, including RSS links for both posts and comments, a search box, horizontal navigation bar, but the typical features stop there.  By adding a 140×140 pixel thumbnail, images related to your posts will show up, and will automatically resize to 90×90 pixels for smaller image.  Note: You will still need to make 220×140 thumbnails for the top four posts.  These steps have been outlined on the release page, and use the Custom Fields area in WordPress.

Overall, it is a good approach to a pre-made theme.  One of the only elements that others may not find functional is the fact that there are no excerpts on the main page, similar to most magazine themes and the original theme.  However, if you are simply looking for a dark version of a magazine theme, this will suit your needs.

Additional Features:

  • Tested on version of WordPress 2.5+
  • Magazine layout
  • Tested in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, and Opera 9.5
  • Integrated MyAvatars plugin

    Hi there…
    You might want to add me as the designer of the theme. And if you plan to sell the theme, it might be appropriate to ask me first since I designed it.
    Thanx.

    I don’t solely sell any themes on this site, I simply place the buy now links on this site, according to what the designer has on his or her site.

    Jerico Systems (Eric Hamby) has re-designed your template with a dark color scheme, and is requesting a $5 donation for his time and future theme releases. You have placed his theme as a “variation” on your release page.

    I do not add price tags to any themes or sell otherwise free themes for profit.
