Unite by WooThemes
Unite is a hyper-social Blogging theme for bloggers who are all about reaching out and generating discussion. Unite mimics Tumblr’s flexibility and media savvy for WordPress, and it is a powerful tool for incorporating media, discussion and interaction with a mere click.
The blog design itself is minimalist yet eye-catching, with large images leading up to an introductory paragraph before the “more” cut-off. Unite seamlessly integrates with your music, photos and Twitter, prompting readers to engage and relate to you by displaying a running tally of what you are snapping, tweeting and listening to.
WooThemes designer Rogie King spared no efforts when designing the superb commenting system, which uses a state-of-the-art AJAX commenting module to catch comments and allow readers to write back not only at you, but also at other readers who commented before – all they have to do is add @ to address their comment to the right person. The groundwork for a vibrant community blog is right here, all you have to do is provide interesting topics and let your readers take over the discussion.
Unite is ready to do all the work for you when it comes to posting media content: images, audio, video, links, quotes and notes can all be added easily, and the theme will handle them automatically (or as WooThemes like to say, “auto-magically”) according to media type.
If you like to blog on the go, you will love the AJAX-powered (and WooThemes exclusive) QuickPress feature, which allows you to type, format, enhance and post directly from the dashboard. This function is ideal for spontaneous bloggers or for those who blog about time-sensitive matters. Don’t waste a single second getting your posts out, so your readers can start commenting on them at once!
Like other WooThemes blog themes, Unite has the spectacularly convenient Timeline, an easy to navigate archive that displays your post titles by date accompanied with their comment count. Reading through your archives should be extra easy to new readers thanks to the AJAX load that adds more posts at the end of the page without the need to reload.
Unite offers a rainbow of color themes: a crisp an easy to read black, white and blue default; a stylish “book” theme in neutrals and red, and 11 more color schemes with either a white or a dark grey background. Unite’s 3 widgetized areas include a number of custom WooWidgets and can be fully customized.
