Ever since the H3 theme was released way back in 2007 there have been numbers of people who have e-mailed me asking about a theme that would function the same way that the H3 theme did except they wanted an all horizontal navigation system instead of a split navigation system.

Well, we are very glad to now have available in our theme store the Headliner 4 theme for RapidWeaver. The H4 theme is very similar to the H3 theme with only a few exceptions. Using an all horizontal navigation system required some small changes in the markup and css but overall the H4 theme functions the same as the H3 theme. As a matter of fact you can use the H3 Snippets in the H4 theme.

Please visit the DEMO site for the H4 theme so you can get an idea for how the H4 theme will function.

As always, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you who have supported us through the years.

All of the testing has been done and H4 is working nicely in all of the major browsers. Most of the demo site ha been created and nearly all of the documentation has been written. All that is needed is to package everything and upload it to the servers.
We are hoping to have everything ready by the end of the day.

Stay tuned for more details ...

There have been many of you that have been asking for a 3 column theme that had an all horizontal navigation system. This way you could use both of the sidebars without worrying about the sub-navigation taking up much needed space that would otherwise be used for content.

Well, we have been listening and are excited to tell you about the new H4 theme that will be ready for release very soon. You will be able to use the H4 theme much the same way that you use the H3 theme except that there will be no sub navigation in the sidebar it will be all horizontal navigation. (Similar in function to the Wall Street Journal Online Edition)

We still have a few tests to run but much of the code base is the same as the H3 theme so testing should be minimal.

I will keep everyone posted of the progress via our blog.

Finally, we have released the all new and much improved Headliner 3 theme for RapidWeaver. When the H3 theme was first released 2 years ago it was the only theme of its kind in that it allowed you to insert content into 3 columns. However, as awesome as the H3 theme was it did have its shortcomings and users had to be very creative for H3 to reach its full potential. In this version of H3 we wanted to make things much easier for the end user and also to provide much more flexibility. We feel that the result will keep the Headliner 3 theme at the head of the class for pretty good while.

Briefly the Headliner 3 theme includes:

• 2 popular width options for content driven sites
• 5 EC Containers
• 5 video tutorials to help you become more familiar with H3
• 4 custom snippets built specifically for H3
• All of the colour picker options that you have come to expect from RWT
• "Boxes" (A custom snippet that creates the "box" for you ... all you have to do is add your content)
• Please take a few minutes to navigate through the DEMO site by clicking on the link below.

Several months ago I began building a theme for RapidWeaver but was never able to release it to the public simply because it needed to offer the user more ways to add content that were presently available to RapidWeaver. The theme just sort of sat there in my theme drawer and I had wondered if I would ever be able to finish it out. Then, within a few days time we, along with some help from some other developers (seyDesign and (((Bonsai Studio))) ) were able to develop a friendly and standards compliant way of adding additional content to RapidWeaver themes. I was so buzzed about this progress that I pulled out that lonely old theme and finished it off in a couple of days.
I decided "
Buzz
" would be an appropriate name for such a theme.
The
Buzz
theme is a 3 column masterpiece ... as you can tell we are very proud of this theme and very excited of the possibilities of how this theme will be used.
It makes use of
4
ExtraContent containers that you can use to insert text or any other content into. The extra containers are located:

• in the header area underneath the site title and slogan
• underneath the Navigation in sidebar number 1
• underneath the content area of the page and above the footer area (this is especially handy in pages like Kwix and the Contact Form)
• and lastly in the footer area

Just click on the image below to see they type of theme that Buzz is ... then be sure to go by and visit the

Site for the Buzz theme.
