Minor Updates to Our Themes

A minor update has been issued for 3 of our Genesis child themes:

• BlogNews
• Herman
• Winfield

In the previous versions of these themes pullquotes were implemented by adding the class to the existing blockquote. This has been changed in the updated versions. The reason for the change is twofold:

1. It avoids any potential styling conflicts with blockquotes.
2. The new styling is cleaner.

To insert a left-aligned pullquote in your post you would do this …

<div class="pullquote-left">This is a left-aligned pullquote.</div>

and for a right-aligned pullquote …

<div class="pullquote-right">This is a right-aligned pullquote.</div>

Below is a screen shot of the pullquotes in action on the BlogNews child theme. (default colour scheme)

As always, demo and download links can be found on the individual theme pages.

Speaking of themes, I have been busy in the WPCanada theme lab working on a new Genesis child theme and it is close to being released. There is still some work to do though. I’m currently working on a custom home page, I want to make it mobile responsive and there is lots of little refinements that need to be done. But it’s getting there. You can check out the live demo here.

The navigation menus, button styles, sidebar widget headings and the footer are pure CSS3 – no images!
