One of the things I try to stress about the Hybrid theme is its flexibility. Sometimes, it’s hard to put into words all the different things you can do, even if you’re not a developer. The only real limit is your imagination.
Community member Rusti Gregory (rgregory on the site) decided to put together a great set of videos that explains how to piece together a quick magazine page.
Here’s three things to note about the video tutorials:
- You don’t need to know PHP.
- You don’t have to create a custom template.
- Everything is done with widgets and CSS.
The tools you’ll need
To follow these videos, you should have these things installed:
- Hybrid theme (of course!)
- Query Posts plugin
- Widget Logic plugin
Watch the video tutorials
This is a three-part series of videos titled Magazine Theme or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Plugins. Each video will walk you through the entire process.
The longer I’m around this community and the more I use this theme the more I appreciate how good it is.
Thanks all.
Thanks. I just like seeing other folks within the community giving back in some way to help everyone else.
Thanks for the plug Justin! I just swapped the videos out for Vimeo hosted ones. I almost used up my monthly bandwidth where the original ones were hosted.
Sorry about that. If I would’ve thought about it, I would’ve given you a heads up. I hope I didn’t accidentally kill your site.
Justin and Rusti, you ROCK
just opened my eyes, thanks for the link. great tutorial.
Thanks, my inspiration was http://wordpressmodder.org/ He created a video on how to work the query posts plugin, I had no idea what good it was for, but people were raving about it. After the video tutorial, I saw the light and now use it on almost every site I build with WordPress, hybrid or not.
Thought I’d contribute this for others.
Thanks for the plugins!
Those videos are exceedingly professional
This is what Theme Hybrid needs. More please!
