The best themes for Wordpress powered blogs. Download now quality and professionally designed Wordpress templates for free.

Urban is a free WordPress theme from Paul Bennett, based around the idea of having posts displayed in a timeline. It features a scrolling timeline, inline loading of posts, pages, images and Youtube videos, realtime search that displays results as you type, tracking of your recently viewed pages, and other footer modules including twitter updates and last.fm recently played tracks.

Usage:

Urban gives you several ways to represent your posts: Display the excerpt (default behavior), display an image, or display a Youtube video.

Displaying an image :  there is no need to re-size your images manually, Urban will automatically do it for you! So:

1. Write the article as normal.
2. Click the ‘Add an Image’ button and upload your desired image.
3. Copy the image link from the list that appears, click ‘Save all changes’ and close the overlay.
4. Scroll down the ‘Write Post’ page to the ‘Custom Fields’ tab and in the key field enter ‘lead_image’ (minus quotes).
5. Paste the image link you copied previously into the value box and click ‘Add Custom Field’.

That’s all that’s required, now your post will be represented by an image which the reader can expand by clicking the magnifying glass that appears when they roll their mouse over a post.

Displaying a Youtube video is even easier! Simply:

1. Write the article as normal.
2. Scroll down the ‘Write Post’ page to the ‘Custom Fields’ tab and in the key field enter ‘youtube’ (minus quotes).
3. Paste the complete Youtube link you from your browser address bar into the value box and click ‘Add Custom Field’.

Urban will then go and grab the video screenshot for you, and users can watch the video by clicking the magnifying glass that appears over the post.
