The Abundance Premium WordPress Magazine Theme
Quickly Integrate Payment Buttons And Prices
Thanks to The Abundance Theme's use of custom fields, you can quickly add your PayPal payment buttons to any or all of your pages when building your sites. DownLoadGuard buttons also work with the theme, and although DLG comes at a price, it's infinitely more secure and convenient than using basic PayPal buttons. Using custom fields is a great way not only to quickly offer a digital product for sale, but to build entire sites which offer them. While the payment buttons will show up at the bottom of each post where used, the price field shows up not just at ...
Get More Done With Quick And Easy Image Management
Most magazine-style themes draw their homepage and archive images from custom fields added to each post by the user as they're written. This can be a time-consuming process, particularly if you're using a plugin (Amazon Autoposter, for example) to create many posts automatically. It's also a step that a lot of newcomers find confusing, and if you're building websites to sell them you can find that even more of your time is eaten up in answering queries on the procedure. In contrast, the Abundance theme is coded to use the Get The Image plugin, which simply draws the first image from ...
Profitably Place Links And Promotions With Seven Widgetized Areas
Seven areas of the Abundance theme are widgetized - the left and right sidebars, a wide sidebar area above these that spans both of them, a banner area above and below the content, the footer bar and an Adsense box inside posts on the top left. All these are optional. Of course, you can put anything you like in these areas and probably have some creative ideas of your own. They've all been used for Adsense (although obviously not at the same time) across various sites, and the top banner area is often used for Amazon or Clickbank banners. If you've ...
Test And Experiment With Different Layouts
The Abundance theme's many widgetized areas allow ample scope for experimentation. My own testing has so far demonstrated that moving the navigation to the footer and leaving the sidebars almost exclusively for monetization does have a positive effect on revenue. If your home page is a lengthy one then it may seem a lot to expect your visitors to scroll to the bottom to navigate - it's seldom a good idea to include everything, just because it's available - but the majority of search visitors who encounter your site will do so via the inner pages. As the image on ...
Color Picker Convenience To Boost Productivity
If you're a conventional WordPress user with few sites to think of, then the chances are that a color picker in a theme's Admin options panel is just a welcome time-saver that makes life a little simpler. However, for a website flipper or someone growing a large website empire of their own, a color picker can make quite a difference to productivity. Gone is the need to repeatedly edit and upload CSS sheets until you're either happy with the result or just prepared to settle for it - the color picker makes changes possible in seconds. This last is probably obvious, ...
The Abundance Theme And The Minimal Look
Magazine themes are very popular, both with conventional users and with website flippers, who need to make their sites as attractive to potential buyers as they aim to be to surfers. However, there are times when you don't want to use a magazine theme immediately - perhaps if you're more concerned about putting content online first and then prettying it up later once it's got sufficient traffic coming to it (a better option than simply hoarding inactive domains because you've no time to do anything with them). Perhaps you've some sites you don't want to use a magazine theme on ...

Dates And The Abundance Theme
Few things make information look more unappealing or unreliable than having a date set in the past credited to it, however recent that past may be. The Abundance theme always looks up-to-date and fresh, thanks to the Javascript clock in the top corner of every page, and uses no dates on posts in order to ... read more
Highlight The Posts That You Most Want To Be Seen
The Featured Content Gallery is probably what’s most noticeable about the Abundance theme’s front page when you first see it, although it’s easily omitted if it’s unsuitable for the purposes of your site. It’s what catches your visitor’s eye as he or she is almost hypnotically drawn to watch what’s going to be shown next. ... read more

This one was built to help illustrate the Abundance theme’s user guide, which is why it might seem a bit ‘busy’.
A site selling digital products, with prices displayed on the front page and in category and search archives.
No navigation bar in this one. Instead, the pages widget is in the footer with the rest of the navigation.
Similar to the ‘Vegetarian’ site above, but less crowded looking and with only one sidebar.
A bare bones configuration of the theme
Included with The Abundance Theme is an illustrated guide to configuration.
