BlueMag is the first Magazine style Wordpress theme developed by me. I am happily announce the release of it and i hope Wordpress users who want to create Magazine style will like it.

BlueMag, as the theme’s name, is a Magazine style Wordpress theme with a blue color scheme. There is a “featured category content slider” at the top of the page. By default, the theme will show three featured posts. You can modify it by opening the header.php and look for $featured_cat = ‘1′. Replace the ‘1′ with your featured category ID.

Below is the summary of features:-

• Featured content slider (can easily turn off if you don’t want to use it).
• 3 level menu.
• Automatically insert post thumbnail, or manually using custom field.
• Fast loading speed. No images are being used, unless the advertisement at your left sidebar and the feed icon.
• 2 sidebars.
• Grid based design.
• Gravatar on comments.
• Search Engine Optimized.
• Work with Wordpress 2.6 and above.

Although BlueMag doesn’t require any plugin, but it comes support for WP-PageNavi. I had include a css file called “wp-pagenavi.css” under “library/css“, which you can customized your WP-PageNavi plugin.
