If you look at this site’s home page, it uses the default home page layout. You, however, may not like that layout for your own site. So, I gave you 4 other options:

  • Home page option 3 - This is a 3-column layout without image thumbnails. It looks more like a traditional blog
  • Home page option 4 - Another 2-column layout that looks more like a traditional blog.
  • Home page option 5 - And last but not least, a 2-column layout that uses image thumbnails and places posts side-by-side.

To change your home page layout is a breeze.

def-thumbIf you look on the home page, archive pages and search results page of this site, you’ll notice that all the posts have a thumbnail image next to the post excerpt. By default, the theme will display the photo you see to the right as the post thumbnail. If you’d like to use a different default post thumbnail, just choose a photo in .gif format, cut it to 100px by 100px, name it def-thumb.gif and upload it to the theme’s images folder.
