You don’t have to edit any codes to display header colors, fonts and content position. The options page provides all controls to manage logo, navigation menu, and search box.
Frontpage : This is definitely a premium blog template with simple layout. But don’t think that it is simple in style because homepage demo proves it all. The top of frontpage area shows 3 featured post entries so that visitors can check best contents fro sticky post. Then begins the latest posts section where first most recent post it highlighted with big thumbnail.
User can browse most recent featured post entries directly from homepage. The excerpt and featured layout highlights all new blog articles in stylish way.

This post navigation system automatically promotes post links so user can directly go to other posts. I don’t see related post entries with demo but hopefully it should there in features list.
