Colorlabs Project Arthemia Theme
Dec 18, 2009
The Arthemia Premium theme is a perfect theme for autoblogs. It has a clean and professional look and is easy to navigate. Customizing the theme is fairly easy and a full-featured options page means you don’t need to edit too much of the theme itself.
The theme has nice drop-down navigation menus for categories you select and has built-in support for banner ads, Google AdSense, Google Analytics, and FeedBurner.
We have certified the Arthemia Premium theme for use with AutoBlogged and highly recommend it! You can see the Arthemia Premium theme in action at http://mspatchwatch.com.
AutoBlogged Integration
Arthemia Premium will automatically create a thumbnail for each post based on the value of the Image custom field as described in this article. AutoBlogged will automatically perform all these steps for you and create the Image custom field when it encounters an image in a post. The Arthemia theme will use this field to display post thumbnails if they exist.
Implementation Notes
- To use the auto thumbnail feature you must check the Save local copies of all images in the feed box under each feed’s settings.
- Under the Arthemia options page you must set the Thumbnail Assignment setting to Post Custom Field.
- The auto thumbnail feature currently only supports JPG images.
- Because the theme creates its own thumbnails you should remove %if:thumbnail%<p>%thumbnail%</p>%endif:thumbnail% from the post template.
Embedded Videos
The Arthemia theme currently only supports the automatic embedding of YouTube videos. If using an YouTube feed, you can take advantage of Arthemia’s built-in video support through AutoBlogged by creating a custom field in your feed settings named Video with the value %Video_URL%. Note that if you do this, you should remove %if:video%<p>%video%</p>%endif:video% from your post template.
