I’m fascinated by the whole horizontal-scrolling idea, especially for portfolios, but don’t feel it meets my own desires for this site. Nonetheless, I just had to dig in and create a working horizontally-scrolling WordPress theme. So I present to you Sideways Portfolio. Here are some brief points…
- Horizontal scrolling through all archives and blogs.
- Non-scrolling on single posts and pages.
- Dark, grungy background.
- Clean, simple. Not minimal in a design sense, but free of unnecessary features.
- No extra plugins are required.
- GPL-licensed – use as you wish, personally or commercially, modify to your heart’s content.
0.9.0 – The first release. Please let me know about any bugs you find in the comments on this post so that I can do any necessary repair work for the next release. All releases are free to all purchasers.
These will surely be asked…
How do I replace the title text with my logo?
The easy way is to open up the canvas file, add your logo to the background, then export that area as a logo file. You may need to adjust the padding of the #header #title area in the style.css file to line it up nicely.
How do I get pictures to fit the post areas well?
For the purpose of the demo, I’ve gone into the Settings > Media panel and have set thumbnails to 180×180, medium to 240×240, and large to 360×360, which matches the width of the post area.
What about comments?
I have purposely not included any comments functionality in this theme. After a lot of experimenting, I finally decided it best to leave them off.
What about widgets?
Where would I fit them? This theme is designed to be very simple and is really targeting portfolio and photoblog users, not blogs intended for discussion and community necessarily.
Спасибо Вам большое, Вы мне очень помогли!!! так держать
