<p><a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/demo/modularity/index.php?wptheme=Modularity">Modularity</a> is a highly customizable multimedia theme framework for WordPress. The <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/demo/modularity/index.php?wptheme=Modularity">theme design</a> was developed with users who appreciate visual browsing and prefer a minimal layout, with their photos and multimedia featured front and center. Virtually every aspect of the theme design can be controlled from either the <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/wordpress-testing-e280ba-theme-options-e28094-wordpress_1223269780288.png">Theme Options page</a> or the <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/modularity-demo-e280ba-e28094-wordpress_1223269736432.png">Homepage Settings</a> page.</p>
<p>Modularity includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Built in <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/demo/modularity/2008/10/05/tenth-test-post/">full-screen HD video player</a></li>
<li>Optional homepage <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/demo/modularity/#portfolio">slideshow</a></li>

<li><a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/modularity-demo-e280ba-e28094-wordpress_1223269736432.png">Homepage Settings</a> page where you can choose which apps show up on your homepage layout</li>
<li>S.E.O. optimized titles and alt tags</li>
<li><a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/demo/modularity/#footer-wrap">Four widgetized areas</a></li>
<li><a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/demo/modularity/#top">Click-down navigation</a> for a compact, minimalist masthead.</li>

<li>Blueprint CSS framework</li>
<li>Valid, clean code</li>
</ul>
<p>The theme includes &#8220;apps&#8221; which you can enable or disable from the Homepage Settings page.  These apps can transform the theme into a portfolio site for photographers and multimedia producers, a magazine-style site, or a normal blog-style homepage literally at the click of a button.  In the future, we will be releasing &#8220;child themes&#8221; for Modularity to provide design alternatives and additional applications that will make Modularity even more configurable.  You&#8217;ll definitely want to <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GraphPaperPress">subscribe to GraphPaperPress.com</a> to keep up on all the latest developments and enhancements for Modularity.</p>

&#8220;Over 1,500 hits in one day?&#8221;  That was the question I asked myself the day after that I released <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/2007/12/07/visualization/">Visualization</a>, a premium magazine-style theme for <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a>, a popular online publishing system.  Since then, I&#8217;ve released <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/2007/12/08/gridline/">Gridline Magazine</a>, <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/2007/12/09/gridline-news/">Gridline News</a>, and <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com/2007/12/09/gridline-lite/">Gridline Lite</a> to help <a href="http://www.theduct.com/images/feedthebeast.jpg">feed the beast</a>.</p>
<p>But, I had to ask myself, do my site visitors really care about all this <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> jibberish?  Likely not.  So, I decided to curl up this weekend and make <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com">Graph Paper Press</a>, a focused repository of WordPress themes created by <a href="http://thadallender.com/about/">me</a> for you.  The site accomplishes a few things, but most importantly, it makes it much easier to locate, preview, and download my theme designs.</p>
<p>So far, I&#8217;ve sold themes to people on every continent, except <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;time=&amp;date=&amp;ttype=&amp;q=africa&amp;sll=-19.015438,29.154857&amp;sspn=17.225598,34.804688&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=2.108899,33.75&amp;spn=68.578145,139.21875&amp;z=3&amp;om=1">Africa</a>.  So get with it <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;q=zimbabwe&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=6&amp;om=1">Zimbabweans</a>!  In all seriousness, the popularity of these themes has come as quite a pleasant surprise.</p>
<p>In the mean time, take a peek at <a href="http://graphpaperpress.com">Graph Paper Press</a>.</p>

<h6>Update</h6>
<p>This theme and many other themes are now available at <a href="http://www.graphpaperpress.com">www.graphpaperpress.com</a></div>
<p><img src="http://thadallender.com/wp-content/uploads/visualize_590.jpg" alt="visualization magazine theme for wordpress" width="590" /><br />
If you visit my site regularly or irregularly, you have undoubtedly noticed <a href="http://thadallender.com/2007/02/19/new-look-for-2007/">constant design changes</a>, <a href="http://thadallender.com/2006/10/10/facelift/">tweeks</a> and <a href="http://thadallender.com/2006/10/28/powered-by/">dramatic overhauls</a>.  Chalk this one up to my obsessive compulsive nature and insatiable taste for modern, clean, minimalist aesthetics.  So, after more than two years of fidgeting with dozens and dozens of <a href="http://themes.wordpress.net/">WordPress themes</a> I have decided to release my own theme for others to enjoy.</p>
<p>Visualization is a grid-based, magazine-style <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> theme that is easy to customize and make your own.  The CSS borrows heavily from <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/">Blueprint</a>, a CSS framework that streamlines development by utilizing an easy-to-use grid and sensible typography.  Visualization can transform your blog into a full-blown magazine or news Web site.</p>
<p><strong>Visualization includes</strong></p>
<ul id="sidenav">
<li><a href="http://automattic.com/code/widgets/">Widgetized</a> sidebar and bottombar</li>
<li>Optional <a href="http://boren.nu/archives/2007/01/07/custom-image-header-api/">custom header images</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)">Dynamic (AJAX) sidebar </a>to maximize homepage real estate</li>
<li><a href="http://visualization.thadallender.com">Nine spots on the homepage</a> to pack with content</li>
<li>Valid XHTML and CSS</li>
</ul>
