StudioPress Mindstream

Mindstream by StudioPress is a responsive Genesis child theme for professional and personal blogs supporting WordPress post formats offering Tumblr-like post features.

Themes with a responsive layout will adapt the presentation of the web page to the screen of the device used by the visitor, be it a desktop, a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone. These themes respond to screen size and orientation of that screen.

This theme supports natively two WordPress 3 menus.

• Information (General)
• Custom Feeds
• Default Layout
• Navigation Settings
• Breadcrumbs
• Comments and Trackbacks
• Content Archives
• Blog Page
• Header and Footer Scripts
• Header Settings

You can set the Default Layout to one column – just the content area – or two columns. In the two column layout the sidebar can either be positioned to left or to the right of the content area. For each individual post and page, you have the ability to alter the page layout.

Mindstream comes with four page templates:

• archive
• blog
• default
• landing

Utilizing the Genesis column classes you can have your text spread over up to six columns, instead of the default one column per text area.

This Genesis Child Theme supports the use of WordPress post formats giving it Tumblr-like features. The following post formats are facilitated:

• aside
• audio
• chat
• gallery
• image
• link
• quote
• status
• video

The Featured Image is supported partly, meaning the featured image will show up on index pages and in the grid view, but not on the single post page as the first image. If you would like to display the Featured Image also as the first image in a post, you only have to push the Insert into Post button, which is right next to the Use as a featured image link.
