Made by Themify Flow guru, Michael Oglesby, this tutorial shows how to replicate the popular UK newspaper site, The Guardian, with the Themify Flow. Through the Flow framework he was able to recreate the 3 menu header layout, post category sections, and even the 4 column menu footer layout. We are very impressed with his work, and he was kind enough to share with us how he was able to do this by writing a guest post on Themify Flow Blog.
Update: Due to copyright reason, TheGuardian requested this post to be removed.
At Themify, we've worked hard to create themes that are right for you. Today, we're very excited to release the newest addition to our arsenal of WordPress themes: Split, which is also being released with our new Builder feature, called Column Styling.
Split Theme
Split is a fully responsive WordPress theme that's built with a split scrolling feature, allowing you to create a cool splitting effect as you scroll from one row to the next. We've built this feature to allow you to display any content (full-width video, image, text) on any row of your site, without losing the split scrolling effect. Split also comes with a pair of post layouts, no sidebar (half page) and sidebar (fullwidth feature image), that allows you to change the way you display your portfolio or blog posts. In addition, we've packed these themes with 9 different colored skins, 8 sample page layouts, header and footer visibility options, infinite scroll, and a masonry layout.
Builder Column Styling
In addition to the release of our newest theme, Split, we're also releasing a powerful new Builder feature called Column Styling. This new feature gives you full control with the style of each column. You can customize the background type (solid color, image, slider, or video), font, padding, overlay, border, and margin of each column on each row on your site. We've built the Split theme to work hand-in-hand with the new Builder Column Styling feature. You'll see how we were able to to apply this new feature with the 8 sample page layouts that we've created and packed into Split.

We've revamped our Slider Pro addon with a bunch of bug fixes, improved overall performance, and user experience when using this Builder addon. To ensure smoother and faster performance, we've removed some of the transition effects that have caused the slider to lag. We've also improved the responsiveness of this addon, making sure that it can be viewed beautifully across all devices and resolution. For users who already have the addon in their member area (i.e. Master/Lifetime Master Club members), just update it to the latest version 1.0.2, and you'll get the revamped version of the Slider Pro.

Sometimes adding an extra something can transform any post from dull & boring, to fun and exciting! Today, we bring this extra something to your custom post types. For the first-time ever, we're launching a Post Type Builder addon: Extra Fields! This addon works hand-in-hand with the Post Type Builder, allowing you to create 8 new field types on your custom posts. Simply install and activate this addon, and start creating posts with 8 new modules on your Meta Box builder. Here's what this addon comes with:
Video = Insert an unlimited number of Youtube/Vimeo/MP4 videos, anywhere on your custom post type. Display it either on a 2 or 3 grid column.
Rating = Choose from over 320+ icons, and use any one of them to rate your products, movies, or any post you want. You can set it to have only admin users, or public visitors to rate your post.
Map = Showcase any location in a map, with a pointer and text tooltip, anywhere on your post.
Date = Select the date that will appear on your post, with a date & time calendar picker.
Slider = Showcase a slider image/video that will allow you to adjust the speed, and transition style.
Gallery = Display your images in grid, showcase, or lightbox format.
Progress Bar = Highlight skills or ongoing projects with percentages, custom labels, and animated progress bars.
Icon = Choose from over 320+ icons, and insert a link on each icon to redirect users when they click on the icon.
Make your posts extra fun and extra awesome, with the new Extra fields addon!

Here's a sneak peak of our upcoming theme release: Split! This theme comes with many cool new features. But one that will definitely set itself apart from the other themes is the split scrolling effect. This feature creates a splitting effect as you scroll the page! We've made this theme very easy to build with the Builder, allowing you to display any content on any row, without losing the split scrolling effect. So whether you're showcasing a background image, an image slider, or even a video, the split scrolling feature will still work.
