I love this theme, thank you very much! Now my website get a real magazine feel over it :)
Thanks for this theme, you are my hero! I think it will be perfect for my church’s website. I was already thinking about developing a theme myself, but you made the perfect theme for what I’m thinking for the website.
Beautiful theme Robert! I am going to have to download it and look under the hood.
I did sign up for your RSS feed a long time ago, but can’t see the download link anywhere.
Thanks for this theme. I am working on the last them you released currently, but think I will shift my attention to this one. Do you have any sort of way to donate to you for stuff like this?
Thanks for the comments. I’m glad you like the theme. I’m looking forward to seeing how people use it. Post a comment when you go live so I can have a look!
@Ante: the link is at the bottom of each post. I’ve added a little picture to show what it looks like.
@sternz: I’ve added a button to donate through PayPal. Thanks very much!
Giving you some sort of donation is the least anyone could do. As soon as I get paid I will send something.
Nice theme. A lot of content but plenty of white space. Great work!
Thanks! I’ve been eagerly anticipating this theme’s release!
You are the man, fastest “service” I’ve ever experienced.
Thanks for the comments. And please post a comment if you’re using this theme. I’d like to see how people are modifying it.
I want to move the “sited” and “comments” to the top and flip-flop them so there’s a “Featured” and “other posts/news” sections. How can i make this move without upsetting the balance of the page? I tried to place it at the top once but the “comments” part moved itself down a line, like the “sited” section took up too much space.
Does this make sense? I’m pretty much trying to have a ESPN-like main section… thoughts?
With the “two-col” and “one-col” options, how could I insert a newspaper-style “Featured” article and preview with picture at the top of the page (similar to what you have at the bottom)?
I’m sorry, I simply don’t have time to answer all the general CSS questions. What you’re asking to do is not complicated, but it’s complicated to explain it. Basically, everything is floated left and each row is followed by a clear, like this:
You can modify the one-col, two-col, etc., as long as they add up to six columns. You’ll have to experiment.
@Everyone: please post support questions in the forums.
thanks for the help… i’ll try that. any further questions i’ll put in the appropriate place.
@Tim: no problem. If you want to get rid of the latest posts, just delete that part of home.php and add another row of one-col, two-col, etc. before the clear div. Play with it and you should be able to get it to work. Good luck!
i really like this theme you using……
it looks very sketchy……
would you release this one for download? :) i can no wait for this.
@Cal: Sorry, the current design is not available. Maybe some time in the future.
Nice one Robert.
How to let be shown picture of any post in first page?
Please watch the video tutorial.
The video really helps so I advise people to watch it as Upstart said at the top of the post. Amazing what happens to simple questions if your RTFM.
Don’t you love people who don’t read directions? Is it honestly that hard to watch a video to answer your own questions.
This is the best theme I have seen so far. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comments. And yes, the video is a “must see.”
Yes…… it’s really helpful.
I loved the clean ness of this theme.
I hope there are no bugs..!
Hi Robert,
your Futurosity Altera is the better template I’ve ever seen. Easy to use and perfect in coding.
Days ago I have seen this other template, called MIMBO by Darren Hoyt. He’s using pretty similar coding with differences in usability. Your theme is faster to install and manage.
Have a nice day and thank you so much.
Thanks! Thanks and again thanks!!
Great Job! This is the theme that i was searching for… i love it. I will sure recharge my paypal card for donation.
I’ve made some modifies in the layout of home page and in some code around.
I’ve alse added a custom tag “real-author” for assign to a post an author different from who posted…
and i’ve traslating all in italian.
I’m still working on it for some things.
The most important : i want to have comments on static pages also… can i do something for activating it without changing “page.php” ?
thanks again for your job.
Ciao ;)
i forgot the link to my site : http://www.liberatutti-vetralla.it/
so if you want, you can go and see it… i will be happy to know your impressions.
bye
Very cool, i love this and can’t wait to use it.
@tripwood:Your site looks great. Nice use of the theme. I’ve sent you $6.95 via PayPal.
with my english i can’t say much more than Thank You!
I wanted to send you a donation and instead you send it to me… :) :)
ps
i resolved with the comments on static page (with only a custom tag “comments”… it was well explained in the code of “page.php” :P).
@tripwood: You’re welcome! You were the first to post a link to your Altera-themed site. It’s fun for me to see my themes in use. Your site is looking great.
Robert,
my use of Futurosity is not so good as tripwood’s one but this is my link: www.apotropaico.it
I have added nothing more than a Flickr RSS and Imeem music player on the homepage and a contact form page.
(Hey, I do not want money! :) )
Thanks again for your fantastic theme.
@Tiziano: Your site looks great! I like the Flickr feed and music player. Nice job.
It seems that you have great success here in Italy! :)
ps
i will give your money to Emergency (www.emergency.it)
@tripwood: I’m a fan of Italian design so I’m pleased that my themes are popular in Italy!
Inspired by your generosity, I’ve just matched your contribution by sending Emergency another $6.95.
Hello there. I would like to congratulate you for creating this theme. I must say this is by far one of the best magazine styled theme that I have come across in a really long time. I have just started using it as my default theme. Although there is not much on my site to see, do take a look.
Regards,
Aditya
@Aditya: Looking good!
i just noticed this… stunning theme, robert. and a very helpful video! you must get tired of hearing this but bravo! and thank you!
hello why this theme does not show
my latest posts in my site blog?
i will wait for your answer
thanks
p
@pablo: I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re asking. And please post support questions in the forums. Thanks.
Ciao Robert,
i’ve update my site with a new look..
i’ve modified your theme with dinamic resize and with integration of other plugins that i like very much (like show-unread-comments, very nice).
Thanks again for making me discover the wordpress layout modding.
ciao!
again wow for this theme. not one of the best … the best allover with mag-style themes. easy to modify and a perfect description/video-tutorial. i will use it and send you the link (and i don´t want money for that). thanks again. save your money and keep making themes!
Have you all ever seen such courtesy from a Theme Developer?
showing know-how in video!!
This is amazing.
since i´m now playing around with your theme some days, i got some questions too. what are the ‘four04′ and ‘ec3′ css-classes? btw: i made a validate-css check and found some problems…
oh, forgot that i activated events-plugin … that´s the ec3 feat. the validate-probs.
Hi robert.
just wanted to say thank you for your template.
we have put it too good work on our site and it has opened up so many new possibilities for how we present our work and made wordpress far more useful to us.
thanks again.
a donation to your ‘rainy day fund’ should be winging it’s way to you through the ether.
@john: Thanks very much for your generous donation!
Your site looks great. I love what you’ve done to the layout and your choice of colors. In fact, I like it better than the original. And you’ve got some great stuff on your site. I’m really enjoying damien jurado. Bookmarked!
Hi there -
I came across your site almost by accident. I am developing my own site to be more magazine-styled and am coding the theme myself. But, being a HUGE fan of all things robotic, I fell in LOVE with your rss robot!! I was wondering if I could use just the robot (I would download and save it to my own server) rather than the whole theme and what you would want in return? My site is not a money-maker yet, I just started it this year, so it is not huge either. But the rss robot would fit in so well and be so appreciated by me and my readers every time we see it. In return I could credit you, link to you, paypal you. Anything within reason. Please feel free to check it out:

Thanks!

You’re free to use the RSS icon. I wish I could take credit for it, but I didn’t design it. I found it on the web and would give credit where it’s due, but I can’t remember where I picked it up. I do know that the creator gave permission to use it. If anyone knows who the original designer was, please let me know so I can link to him.
I hope this will become available soon!
@jason: This theme is available. I just had to change the name. You can download it here: WordPress Theme: Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine.
where is download link for theme?
@Seo ve Dizin: This theme has been moved to WordPress Theme: Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine.
I really liked this video - it made me like Technorati much more than I did before
