New Portfolio + Business Theme: Folo
We are proud to present our latest theme — Folo. It is a business + portfolio theme where you can showcase work samples, products or services. Folo provides a unique homepage layout (non-blog style) where your services & products are put in focus. The theme comes with various grid and list layout options. It allows you to build custom pages to display specific categories with custom layout options (21 choices in total). On top of that, there is an optional sorting/filtering navigation where your visitors can filter the posts. Coded with HTML5 and CSS3, Folo is definitely a cool theme to showcase your portfolio or business.

Post Easter Sale
We hope you had a great Easter long weekend. Last week had been chaotic for us and we apologize for the server down times. We spent our long weekend moving to a new host with a better performance server. The new server has been very steady and we are looking to provide more stable services to you. We didn't get a chance to offer you any Easter goodies last Friday, so we've decided to run a post Easter sale — enter coupon code "posteaster" on checkout to get a 30% discount. The sale runs from today till Apr 29, 2011.
Down Time and Framework Update
We apologize for the recent down time. During the outages, we found a bug in the framework which caused themes to load slowly. It is now fixed in the latest version of the framework - 1.0.9.4. Please check your theme and make sure it is using version 1.0.9.4. You can find the version number by going to the theme option panel. There you can locate the number at the lower left corner of the panel. If your version hasn't already been updated to the latest version using the "auto upgrade" feature then there are two options to upgrade manually:
Option 1) Framework Upgrade Only:
To upgrade just the framework, download the framework from https://themify.me/files/themify/themify.zip and replace the 'themify' folder inside the theme folder on your server (via FTP). Read upgrading themes for tutorial.
Option 2) Entire Theme Upgrade:
To upgrade your entire theme (including the framework), download the latest theme zip from our site (or your member dashboard https://themify.me/member), replace the entire theme folder on your server (via FTP).
Changelogs:
You can view the changelogs of the themes at https://themify.me/logs.
Folo Theme Preview
We would like to share a preview of an exciting theme that we are working on - Folo. It is a portfolio theme that can be used to showcase work samples or services. The homepage provides unique layout (non-blog style) with a slider and highlighted items. It is our first theme that comes with dual menus (one left and one right). We are still finalizing the details and features. Let us know if you have any suggestions for this theme.
Theme Updates: Default Layout Options
Beside making more new awesome themes, we've also been focusing on improving our existing themes with more user-friendly features. After the Wumblr and Newsy update, here are the themes that have been updated with default layout options: Minblr (demo), Photobox (demo), Edmin (demo), Bizco (demo), Blogfolio (demo), and ThemeMin (demo). The updated theme allows you to set the default layout for Index (home, archive, category, search, tag pages, etc.), Posts, and Pages. You can have sidebar left, sidebar right, or no sidebar along with various list view and grid view layouts. On top of that, you can toggle the visibility of post title, date, image, meta, content, etc. We are looking to revamp all our themes to have the same layout features. Stay tuned.
