Brazen; A versatile WordPress theme for the veteran-blogger as well as any beginner.
A sleek, ready to use WordPress theme created with you in mind.
First off, I’d just like to introduce myself. My name is Spencer, and I am the lead developer here at Function. I’m the guy that takes Liam’s awesome designs, and turns them into working sites.
Liam had this design laying around, and I knew I couldn’t let it go to waste. So, I’ve spent the last week or so, coding and perfecting this theme. The theme is great right out of the box, ready to be used by anyone or very easily customized.
Theme Description
A light theme, with a nice contrasting background, this design is sure to help present any amount of content. A unique sideblog area allows you to easily post small updates, or “micro-blogs.”
Theme Details
Custom Admin Panel
In an effort to make this theme more user friendly, a custom backend has been implemented straight into WordPress! This will allow you to change things like the header color, tracking codes, ad space, Sideblog options, and other features!
Multiple Color Themes
In the previously mentioned custom admin panel, you can choose between a green (default), blue, or red header color. All the colors work great with each other, and provide just another thing to make your website even more unique.
Custom Write Panel
This theme features subtitles, as well as post images. Normally, you would need to go through messy custom fields to add these extra features, but with a custom admin panel its super easy! Add the information just like you add the title of the post. You can learn all about it in the very detailed README included.

Very nice. I like the very subtle touches. The texture behind the logo area, the daker lines under the thick light lines. Good stuff.
Zinni said:
I was wondering how you added the custom post settings? I would love to do this for a project I am working on for a client right now. If you have a link you can send me to, please send it to my email.
Thanks, and great theme!

I like it.
I also would like to know how you created the Custom Write Panel. Would you consider writing a tutorial on how to do this or pointing me in the direction of a tutorial explaining this.
Keep up the great work!
liam said:
@Cosmo nice idea. I’ll see if Spencer is interested and has the time to write something up. Check back for information. Thanks.
Cosmo Kramer said:
Cool, thanks.
Zinni said:
Liam,
I agree with Cosmo, writing a tutorial on that would probably be a great idea. I think that a ton of people would find it interested (if I knew how, I would
)

Another vote for the custom admin post options tutorial. I’m incredibly curious how that is done.

Hi,
Thanks for this,I ams also would like to know how you created the Custom Write Panel.
Keep up the creative work!
Spencer said:
Thanks everyone! Glad you guys like the theme so much.
As far as the custom post options, there is actually a tutorial right on the WordPress website. However, it leaves a lot to be desired, and is not very expandable. See what you can get from that, and I’ll be working on a more advanced tutorial.
Zinni said:
Spencer,
Thanks for the help, I look forward to the article!

Nice and clean theme. It’s really hard to find a place for good efforts.
But efforts needs to be paid… i agree $25 is not much for this fine effort but still “efforts needs to be paid”.
