This will be a quick update and my continuing Catalyst Theme Review. As you know, this site of mine uses the Catalyst Theme for a reason. It offers the most available options for a professional WordPress theme that I am aware of period. Oh sure, there are other themes like itheme builder and its a quality product by the way, but for me, I like the small community right now in Catalyst.
They launched the product in December of 2010 at version 1.0 and are now at 1.1.1 as of March 5, 2011. So, they are moving forward quickly with new enhancements and updated features. I believe since December of 2010, they have announced several major new features. The newest one is called EZ widgets. It just makes adding widgets to any location of your website even more easier than ever before.
Here’s a screen shot of what I mean. You can have unlimited rows. For example, say you were building a products store for Amazon products. You could now include 1, 2 or 3 products across each row and have several rows on a single page. So, that is how you can utilize the power of these EZ widgets. Click on image to expand
The only drawback is that when you apply the EZ widget to a page or post, it goes to all of them. So, they are working on a way to upgrade that feature and allow it to be more individual to 1 single page. I know you can add some short codes to off set that, so you can still customize individual pages, but it takes a few extra steps.
The idea is to make it more easier to space out the widgets automatically versus having to play with the padding between widgets. Now, it will do it automatically for you and create even spaces between your widgets.
Like I mentioned at the top, this is just a quick post on a new feature for my Catalyst theme review.
