eVid WordPress Theme

Wordpress template — By Script on June 14, 2010 at 7:55 am

The eVid WordPress theme is a theme designed for video bloggers. It has been set it up to easily integrate videos from video hosts such as Youtube, Vimeo, Veoh, MetaCafe, and so on. This theme does not have a native video player, but it does include a custom video interface with added “blogger-related” functions.

This theme is only for sites that plan to showcase videos within their post pages. I have test the theme with all the most popular video hosts, but I expect that it will work with any website that offers a flash embed code.

With the featured articles display you can choose to feature your favorite posts on the homepage. Featured articles are showcased in a javascript-powered scroller, and can be cycled through with a click of the mouse.

With eVid you can place 125×125 banner images in your sidebar and 468×60 ads to your post pages with ease. Advertisements are handled from within wp-admin, and can be turned on and off at any time.

This theme utilizes timthumb to automatically resize your thumbnail images. Because of this, only one thumbnail images is required per post, despite the various thumbnail sizes used in the theme.

Videos are embedded into a unique javascript-power interface. This video interface adds various blogger-friendly features to your videos including easy social bookmarking, video rating, sharing, linking, backlighting and more.
