Set the number of widget columns in your footer and they'll auto-arrange. Use a background image as an advert and link it to wherever you want. Set any number of post columns to easily create a magazine style layout. Show your sidebar on the left, right, or not at all. = Color and Image Control = __In-built 'Color Picker':__ The Color Picker gives you in depth control over every color in your custom WordPress theme while the WYSIWYG editor allows you to see your chosen color scheme as you choose it. __Background color and image selection:__ Set background colors and/or images for the full browser window, for each block, and/or for individual elements such as menus, widgets and individual posts. __Logo, Favicon, RSS and Social icon graphics:__ Upload your logo and / or RSS icon then drag it to exactly where you want it to display in your header.
