    Thanks for another great looking theme.

  2. grabit89 on July 28, 2009 at 7:57 pm

    You need to add the CSS section to Magazine Basic too. It is an great option to have.

    The title goes out of line when you select 1024 width and right alignment. Any solutions?

    • c.bavota on July 29, 2009 at 12:28 pm

      I have just updated the theme to version 1.0.3 and that should fix that issue.

  4. Voxx on July 30, 2009 at 8:47 am

    Chief,
    this is a new awesome Theme from you! Thx a lot!
    But I have the same Prob as in Magazine Basic.
    1024px and 800px is to width for me. Have a Scrollbar unter the Site.
    Look your self. Have you an Solution for me?

    • c.bavota on July 31, 2009 at 4:02 pm

      Hey Voxx,

      That happens because your browser window has a scollbar to the right, which takes up space. So now a 1024 width site on a 1024 inch monitor gets a scrollbar at the bottom. You can open up the functions.php file and do a search for the term “1024″ and just replace it with “1000″ or less.

    A little theme but great work.
    I used to think that you retire :)

  6. julia ward on August 9, 2009 at 4:36 pm

    WOW! GREAT theme! I just had to write a post about it. Will have to add it to my theme previews.

    LOve your site.

  7. Tao - PDB Sales on August 11, 2009 at 8:36 pm

    Love the theme, but the moment I launched it, the wp-admin pages broke! Now, it’s just showing “can’t open file”. Any suggestions?

    • c.bavota on August 17, 2009 at 1:36 pm

      Try version 1.0.7. It should fix the problem.

  8. gerardo valdivia on August 17, 2009 at 12:02 am

    Hi, I’ve translate to spanish all php files. You can see how it looks on the website I submitted on website field. This is just a starting blog, few posts, no links yet.

    Your template is just great. Using Snowblind 1.0.7

  9. Mason on August 25, 2009 at 11:27 pm

    Hi your theme has great features I love it! I’m new to this wordpress stuff and I have been constructing my portfolio site. I was wondering, is there any way to view sub pages? I made a parent page and then sub pages but I couldn’t find a way to navigate to them.

    • c.bavota on August 26, 2009 at 4:34 pm

      Hey Mason,

      Right now the theme only displays the parent pages and no sub-pages. I might be able to figure that out for the next version.

  10. Jenny on August 26, 2009 at 3:39 pm

    Loving the theme, definitely! I was just wondering – is it possible to get more than one image showing on the front page, so that the visitors don’t have to click on each post to see them? I often have more than one picture in my posts, and I want them all to show.

    • c.bavota on August 26, 2009 at 4:31 pm

      Hey Jenny,

      Go into Snowblind => Layout and choose Content and turn off the Content Image Resizer.

  11. Dave on October 7, 2009 at 9:18 pm

    Hey there,

    The theme is great so far. The best one i’ve found for sure in terms of it functionality and ease of use.

    I was wondering if there was any way to show excerpts in the Category view. The front page shows them fine, but when you click a category it extends all the posts out, I don’t want it to do that.

    I have the “show excerpt” box checked in the Snowblind settings and I have the “Show Summary” box checked in WordPress. But it’s both only for the front page.

    Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great theme!

    • c.bavota on October 13, 2009 at 12:25 pm

      Hey Dave,

      Open up archive.php and look for line #26.

      theme_content('');

      Change that to:

      theme_excerpt(55);

      You can replace the 55 with a lower number. That is the number of words displayed.

  12. Dave on October 12, 2009 at 7:16 am

    Also, What’s a simple way of inserting an image in the header?

    • c.bavota on October 13, 2009 at 12:26 pm

      Use the Header Uploader in the Snowblind admin panel. If you have problems make sure the theme’s uploads folder has full write permissions set.

  13. Pendoline on October 24, 2009 at 2:15 pm

    I love this layout. I would like to leave the header text as it is, BUT add a small image to the right hand side. However, every time I upload the image, I lose the text.

    How can I add an image to the header without losing the text?

    • c.bavota on October 26, 2009 at 1:17 pm

      You would have to hard code that into the header.php file next to the blog name function on line 53.

  14. covalic on November 7, 2009 at 3:32 am

    Clear and simple, just great :) Thx

  15. crazy blogger on November 19, 2009 at 5:50 am

  17. Werbeagentur Bamberg on March 20, 2010 at 5:33 am

    Nice layout with high contrasts – easy to read and simple structure!

  18. Sallie Goetsch (rhymes with 'sketch') on July 16, 2010 at 9:14 pm

    Are there any plans to update this theme for WordPress 3.0 compatibility, or have you moved on to bigger and better things?

    • c.bavota on July 19, 2010 at 10:36 am

      It is coming soon.

  19. Massagesessel on August 8, 2010 at 1:32 am

    Snowblind is beautiful.

  20. Chris on September 1, 2010 at 9:55 am

    So I’m noticing this theme is no longer on wordpress.org. I had it on my list of themes to test, but can’t find a download now. What’s the deal?
