We have been building and releasing many awesome WordPress themes lately. We recently launched Pinboard, a Pinterest inspired theme, which is currently one of our most popular themes. Soon after, we released Fullscreen, a fullscreen gallery theme that places the focus on your photos. We followed Pinboard and Fullscreen with Postline, a theme inspired by Facebook's Timeline.

Pinboard v2 = Multisite and Social Sharing
We are proud to announce version 2 of Pinboard, our Pinterest-inspired theme. We've added multisite integration and social share features. For those who are not familiar with the term 'multisite', basically it lets users to create sub-sites under your site. With Pinboard v2, you can setup your WordPress as a multisite which enables users to signup and publish posts on your site. We also bundled an option to open single posts in lightbox mode in this update. Read below for more details.
Multisite Integration
The multisite feature in Pinboard allows you to synce all posts from micro sites in your network and show them in your main site. Users can register in your site and create micro sites. When they publish a post, it will be also published in your main site.
Custom Signup and Login Form
We've built a custom sign up and login shortcode which allows you to display the form anywhere in the post, page, or widget.
Social Share
Now visitors can easily share your posts to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google Plus by clicking on the share buttons. Each button contains a counter to show how many time the post has been shared.
Open Posts in Lightbox Mode
In this version, posts can be set to open in a lightbox popup like Pinterest.com.
Upgrade Now
If you are using Pinboard on a single/standard WordPress site, you won't see the multisite options. The social share and open posts in lightbox mode option are available to both. Upgrade Pinboard now via Themify option panel or read this documentation on how to setup Pinboard on a multisite.
Postline, A Theme Inspired by Facebook’s Timeline
Are you a big fan of Facebook's Timeline feature? You're going to love our newest theme, Postline (view demo), a responsive theme with infinite scroll inspired by Timeline. It is designed to capture different types of post formats like quotes, videos, images, galleries, and many more, allowing you to tell your story on any resolution, whether desktop or mobile device. In addition, Postline is built with infinite scrolling, meaning posts are loaded automatically when you hit the bottom of the page. This theme is perfect for bloggers who want to showcase their photos and videos that are time-sensitive like travel or food photos!

Responsive Design
The layout of Postline automatically adjusts to the width of the viewport so your story will be told on any resolution whether it is a large desktop display or small mobile screen.
Timeline Layout
We were inspired by the simplicity and beauty of Facebook's Timeline, so we created a WordPress theme that makes it easy for bloggers to tell their story, on their own blogs.
List and Grid Layout
For those who would rather not have the Timeline layout, the regular layouts are available such as 4-column, 3-column, 2-column, or list post.
Infinite Scroll or Traditional Numbered Navigation
Postline utilizes infinite scroll, loading more posts automatically when hitting the bottom of the page. In addition, traditional numbered navigation is also an option for those who aren't so keen on infinite scroll.
WordPress Post Format Support
Postline is designed with WordPress post format support, allowing bloggers to publish Tumblr-like post content such as quotes, videos, images, galleries, audio, and much more.
Video & Multimedia Lightbox Content
Featured images can display embedded videos and lightbox content such as images, videos, or iFrame windows.

Fullscreen Gallery Theme
Please welcome our first theme designed by our developer Elio Rivero - Fullscreen (demo). It started with a simple discussion about fullscreen galleries and Elio suggested to take responsibility to design it. We agreed to it because we thought it would be fun to have a theme designed from a developer's perspective. After hours and hours of hard work and collaboration, Fullscreen turned out to be a gorgeous photo gallery theme. The entire process was very fun and we are extremely happy with the outcome. It is the best responsive theme to showcase your photos in a complete fullscreen mode.
