1. GETTING STARTED: By default, the slideshow in Monochrome Author displays the most recent posts, followed by the excerpts of the previous five entries, offset by two. The number of posts displayed in the slideshow can be controlled via your WP admin panel by clicking Options > Reading.
2. PHOTOS, PULLQUOTES, CUSTOM FIELDS: This theme uses of custom fields manage all photos, thumbnail photos and pullquotes. By default, Wordpress creates a thumbnail photo of every photo uploaded using the photo uploader. Copy the link to this thumbnail photo and paste it into the custom field value, with a key called “thumbnail.” Copy the link to the photo (575 pixels wide maximum) and paste it into the custom field value, with a key called “photo.” If you want pullquotes, then simply create a key called “pullquote” and type your pullquote into the custom field value.
3. YOUR AUTHORS PAGE: Monochrome Author comes packaged with an author archive (authors.php), which will display some author specific info pulled from the Users page in your Wordpress installation. In order for the author’s image to show up, you’ll need to place a jpg of the author titled by the author’s last name in the wp-content/themes/monochrome_author/images/authors/ folder. For instance, mine is Allender.jpg, sized at 75px X 75px. Here is an example author page.
4. STYLES.CSS: Unlike most Wordpress themes which plug all the css in one file called styles.css, Monochrome utilizes the Blueprint CSS framework to help separate positioning, typography, forms and what I’ll refer to as custom or Monochrome specific styles. To edit all custom Monochrome specific styles, you’ll need to edit the file style.css in your wp/wp-content/themes/monochrome/ directory.
