Introduction

Important: This theme has now been superceded by a newer version called Raised Paper (v1.0.1). All development efforts are on that theme now.

This theme is a newer version of the News Time Theme. It is a four-column (or three-column, depending on what you set it as) theme for WordPress called News Print. There are three columns (or two) where the content gets written, and an additional mandatory sidebar. Update: As of August 26th, 2009, the latest version is 2.3.0, with an updated stylesheet and layout, and all of the configuration options now residing in the WordPress admin backend.

After receiving many emails regarding upgrades to the News Print Theme I have added the option to select two or three columns for the main content. It is set to default as three columns, with the sidebar as mandatory. As of August 26th, 2009, this theme now has the capability to show two sidebars.

All of the major sidebar functionality is written in, with a lot of contents to show you how to alter it to your own tastes. Note: as of May 13th, the News Print v2.0 theme is widgetised. As of November 21st, the theme is WP-2.7 ready, conforming to the new threaded comments. As of March 5th, 2009, the theme has had all the configuration options moved to the administration panels.
