Thank you, I like it very much.
Thanks for the share. Simple and clean personal blog theme!
Great theme! But I have a question. How can I change the nav menu to show categories instead of showing pages?
@Cláudia you can manage the navigation menus in the Appearance > Menus panel
It looks great. Does this theme support WP’s own threaded comments?
I like it. I love it. I want some more of it.
How do I change the big Star Blog headline into something I want?
wow, I like it.
Hmm, I have a question too
Does this theme use timthumb? It’s important to me.
Thank you 🙂
@ Maroon – see the Readme file included with the theme.
@ Joey – the theme uses the WordPress Post Thumbnails, not timthumb
My categories have child categories, so they should drop down like in the demo, but instead, they show as a parent category with no drop downs. Any thoughts?
@ Stefanie – you need to build your complete menu structure in the Appearance > Menus panel. Child categories or pages will not show automatically – you will need to add them under the parent category when creating your menu.
Thanks! This is my first time using the WordPress menus option, I’m used to building it from scratch. This theme is beautiful by the way, love how versatile it is.
Very nice, thanks! Looks good and easy to customise.
How do I get the auto thumbnails to create when add an image to the posts? It seems as though each time I do a post I only see text on the homepage
ah I see the directions in the readme file. Perfect. Thank you! Great theme!

Can you help me?

not only better a best customisable theme, thanks a lot. 🙂
Hey Guys,
In the Starblog theme, you guys have a number of Navigation Tabs in your header section, which also include dropdown options in a few of them as well. After attempting to figure this out for the past 3 days, I’m pretty much at my wits in on getting this dialed in! I’ve tried numerous plugins to see if it would work, but I don’t know if it’s my novice experience in css or if something just isn’t plugging in properly with the them.
So nonetheless, if you could please provide a step-by-step (boom! boom! boom!) guide to duplicate what you guys did to implement your navigation bar, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank,
Mikal
Might I add that in the Appearance –> Menus section, it says that “Your theme supports 3 menus. Select which menu appears in each location.” It allows us to put one menu in the “Main Menu,” “Top Menu,” and “Footer.” So if I choose ABC Page to be inserted in the Main Menu, then that’s the only thing I can put into the Main Menu, which makes no sense, but it is what it is as far as I can tell.
Thanks again!

@ Mikal – the WordPress menu builder is pretty straight forward. If you can’t work it out I suggest reading this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
Hello there,
any tips on how to set up a static front page with this great theme? I’m struggling with since three days and it can’t work. Need help. Did anyone experience the same with it? Thanks
I really loved this theme and I want to use it on my first wordpress site.
So I have some doubts:
– How can I remove the READ MORE and make it optional, to use only in the posts I want?
– Is there a way to make it 3-Column?
I would like to make this template looks exactly like this (the one I use in my current blog): http://colocanoidol.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the atention!
I like this word press and think it’s what I have been looking of, but I am news to all of this and need help in downloading it. I download the temp, but it is not showing to look like the template, extract I think and don’t see it. Please help me.
I would like to know how to set up the “post teaser” on all of my pages just like the Star Blog Theme has on its website. I have it set up on my HOME page but I would like for it to show up that way on all of my pages. My site is http://www.IamMsWashington.net so you can view my home page and see that is exactly how I want all of my pages. Do you know how I can set that up?
How do I view the ReadMe file?
@ Ashley For the ReadMe File, go to the Star Blog file you downloaded and there it is. You open it with a program like TextEdit for Mac or Notepad for PC. I checked your site and i’m wondering how you set the whole thing because that’s exactly what i’m trying to do since days but i can never get the gallery to show on my HOME link. Any tips please?
Hey Ashley, i would advise you just go the DCG settings in Gallery CSS and change the width of the gallery to something like 590. Then you won’t have that white space on the right of your gallery. Unless it’s done on purpose.
is there a way to expand the “read-more_ option. I would like to be able to feature longer articles on the home page thx!
Nice theme.Star blog always be star,perfect work.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey guys.
love the theme….it would be perfect if I could remove the “Blogroll” category from the sidebar, but I have no idea how to do it.
Can anyone please let me know if the Blogroll column can be removed, and if yes, then how to remove the Blogroll option?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Carrie
When I try to activate my theme, I get the following error message in WP:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_custom_background() in /home/content/t/h/e/thefabgiver/html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/starblog/functions.php on line 26
Once I open the functions file, this is what I find on line 26:
add_custom_background();
Anyone know what the issue could be? Thanks a bunch!
Karyn
thank you so much for the theme!! 🙂

also, i do not want a little preview next to the “featured” article but cannot get it to fill out the space.
any suggestions? thanks!
i just want you to know that i got the 2nd question fixed on my first post.
i do have another question – how do i get the thumbnail to show up on the secondary posts?
i have not been able to figure it out yet. thanks!
hi, i want to install your template but in the preview i have this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_custom_background() in /home/sipc/public_html/miralonuevo.com/wp-content/themes/starblog/functions.php on line 26
can you say me what happen?
i have my blog with another template and i want to change it for yours.

You will get a Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_custom_background() if you are using an older version of WP. You need to have WordPress 3.0+ to use this theme as explained the requirements above.

I love the theme. It is so easy to handle and to adapt to almost anything! BUt like other people I have but one simple question (and this is because I have already tried many options with no sucess) ehe.
Please, how can I simply “center” the “main navigation menu”? They are (as default), left aligned. I have tried editing in different places, but I am doing something wrong because all my attempts had different and ‘non sucessfull’ displays on different screen sizes.
Anywaym thank you so much for the excellent work on it. 🙂
I like this theme, but I’d like to know if it has a mobile version? It is very important to me. Most of my target audience are in countries where the only access to the internet is through mobile.
