Republica Screen Shot

I have been looking for a clean and professional-looking theme for Yuill.ca for a few months now. I ultimately wanted something that could feature a few blog posts and give me space to put widgets in the sidebar. I usually turn to premium themes when I get serious about WordPress installations because of the support that comes along with it so I was happy when I stumbled upon Vivathemes.

I plan on using this theme for an Intranet site at work as well and testing it out on my personal site gives me the opportunity to learn how it works before I spend hours upon hours trying to customize it at work during the day. My timeline for integrating into work has actually accelerated thanks to the amazing support I’ve received from Viva.

This theme is called Republica and it’s a classic two-column WordPress theme with very minimalist qualities. I’ve changed some of the colours from the original theme, made a few fonts bigger and so far have opted against putting the sidebar under the slideshow at the top of the page but that might change down the road.

The current menu item (today, at least) is “Not Everyone Gets A Trophy.” I plan on matching that spot to whatever is in the slideshow – so right now it will link to all the posts about that book. Next time it might be to all the funny movies I’ve posted here.
