Description : Fresh News 2.0 is a professional and elegant magazine / news style premium WordPress theme from Woothemes. The theme features two homepage layout options: the default magazine style layout and a traditional blog layout, and also comes with 6 built in colour schemes.
Compatibility : Latest WordPress Version
Updated Features :
- You now don’t have to setup a “featured†category and add posts to it for them to look like featured posts. Simply set X number of posts that you want to look like a featured post (basically just a bigger image). If you want them to stay featured, just use the sticky post function in WP.
- The front page now uses the standard navigation (prev/next) instead of a link to the archives, and if you install WP-PageNavi plugin, then it will also work like in our demo.
- You also have the option of showing the normal posts in 2-column default fasion, or showing them as 1-column posts, so it looks more like a blog.
- You can specify if you want the featured/normal posts to show the full content or only the excerpt of the post (default).
- sidebar is now widgetized except for the sidebar tabs. This makes it way more flexible than the older theme, and you have 4 widgetzed areas (Sidebar Top, Sidebar, Sidebar 2-col left, Sidebar 2-col right).
- The video player widget is also a lot easier to use, since all you need to do is drop the embed code for your video into the posts “Custom Settings†field under “Embedâ€, and the widget will resize the video to fit in your sidebar and also resize it to show in your archive/single post

I like the newspaper homepage layout, I think it looks kind of edgy. It’s a little pricey, but I think that a nice layout is worth the investment. You want a user friendly and visually appealing site for your visitors.
