The Morning After
A few weeks ago, we got an e-mail from Arun Kale – the mastermind behind one of the first, and most significant, magazine themes in the WP community – asking us whether we were keen to purchase the theme and take control of it’s future maintenance.
Considering the significance of this theme, we jumped at the opportunity and as of today The Morning After now has a honorary spot in our themes collection.
Arun handed over an awesome theme and as a result we didn’t want to change much in the theme (for now anyway). We also didn’t want to tinker with an obvious winning formula, considering that the last version of TMA, received over 60 000 downloads on Arun’s own site. But we couldn’t claim this to be a WooTheme, if we didn’t add a few, new awesome Woo-typical features.
Since getting our hands stuck into theme, we’ve made the following changes:
- Integration of the WooFramework
- Addition of Dynamic Image Resizing
- Inclusion of all the standard (and some TMA-specific) Woo Widgets
- Theme Localization
- Custom Headers & Background (via native WP 3.0 functionality)
- Custom Post Types for “Updates”
At this stage, Menu’s aren’t supported as the original design didn’t include a navigation by default. So this is something that we will be revisiting in the next week or two.
Why TMA?
We felt that TMA started so many things in the WordPress community and considering that we had been very successful in that community until now, we wanted to put our weight behind one of the “pillars” of that community. So that is why we have, and are dedicating our resources in maintaining The Morning After. We hope that you will find value & enjoyment within this free theme!
