Sorry, but there are better ways to do this now. This project has been deprecated and is no longer in development. This page will be kept online for archival purposes and in case anyone is still interested in the project despite being no longer maintained.

CobaltCloud is a child theme designed for the WordPress.com hosted blog service. The parent theme is Titan, a two column widgetised theme with a dropdown menu.

To use this theme on WordPress.com, you need to switch to the Titan Theme and upgrade to the custom CSS option so that you can update the CSS for your site.

Navigation

The CobaltCloud theme includes a slick dropdown menu. You can modify the contents of the menu via the Titan Theme options page (under “Appearance” in the WordPress admin panel).

Self-hosted WordPress installs

This theme is not currently compatible with the version of the Titan theme hosted in the WordPress plugins repository. Please contact us for pricing information if you are interested in having this ported to work with downloadable version of Titan.

Footer Widgets

The regular Titan theme comes with a sidebar widget area and three footer widget areas. However the CobaltCloud theme only uses the sidebar widget area. The search box which is loaded into the third footer widget area by default is used in the header area and the first two footer widget areas are hidden from view in the theme. To prevent the default widget HTML appearing in your sites source code, you may place blank text area widgets into those widget areas if you like.

Customisations

Feel free to create your own customised versions of this theme, but we would appreciate you obeying the terms of the GPL license if you wish to release your modifications for others to download.

If you would like us to create a totally custom version to meet your own specifications and requirements, please contact us for pricing information.
