WordPress NewsBox Theme Released
The WordPress NewsBox theme is a super customizable, fairly configurable WordPress Theme. Modeled after several news portals, NewsBox is designed to be light on style and heavy on features and customization. At the heart of NewsBox’s customization and configuration capabilities is the included config.php file. This file is full of helpful comments which painlessly guide you through setting up the theme’s colors and categories. There is no need to load any plugins or make changes to the themes files. NewsBox is able to high-lite author comments, display multiple groups of post listings (arranged by category), feature posts and display related content right out of the box.
