Proximity News Theme
Developed by Nathan Rice Proximity News Theme is one of the major players in the news theme market. But is it actually any good?
Well for a start the entire CMS for this wp theme has been built to prevent you from ever having to alter any code or styles during customization. Everything is configurable through your admin interface. If you are not sure how to use any of these options then Proximity comes with full support forums, tutorials and training videos. If you have never used a CMS (content management system) site before then this level of support is invaluable, a factor you should take into consideration when choosing which news theme is right for your publication.
Features:
- Google Adsense built in
- Social bookmarking
- Video ready
- RSS
- Author archives / Information
- Gravatar ready
- “Smart” Home page
- Advanced side bar
- Dropdown menus
- Printer ready
- Breadcrumb Navigation
The front end of this website is just as impressive, with broadsheet style and keeping the illusion of being minimal while actually providing your reader with a lot of options. We were very impressed with the author archives which allows readers to see all the articles published by a particular author including a small biography and gravatar. All this information is pulled in from the users (authors) options in the admin! We also really liked the featured video system, but it is not obvious if this can be included with each article.

The theme also has the ability to prevent duplicate content on the front page using what the developer has dubbed “Smart” home page technology. This is a very important feature as normally a number of plugins have to be configured to stop this happening.
Publishing with this theme could not be easier, all image handling is controlled through your admin, including cropping and uploading. No more hours of photoshop and ftp usage before you can get your article out. Writing could not be easier either, if your authors can use microsoft word then they can use this system with no additional training.
When a reader clicks through to a stories page they get social bookmarking options (Digg, Stumble Upon, Facebook etc) and they also get a print button. This has been specially developed so that the story will be printer friendly and print perfectly, printing is usually an overlooked problem with news websites.
Navigation could not be easier with the inclusion of breadcrumb navigation, intelligent links within stories and archive pages, not to mention drop down menus and advanced sidebar features like most popular, most commented and recent posts.
The overall look of the theme could do with some improvements though, it is always difficult to tell when looking at a demo website exactly how it will look until your branding is applied. If the developers boasts are true though any problems with aesthetics should be very easy to ammend. If this is the case then we cannot recommend this theme enough if you are serious about online publishing.

Kitten-Names? I have a bit nine week old siamese lady, she has very cute, and vibrant. Loves playing with stringed. Any kind of strategies for names??
Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this web site needs far more consideration. I’ll probably be again to read rather more, thanks for that info.
Thank you for this blog. That’s all I can say. You most definitely have made this blog into something thats eye opening and important. You clearly know so much about the subject, youve covered so many bases. Great stuff from this part of the internet. Again, thank you for this blog.
Thanks for your article. It is rather unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, as well as first ever entire global downturn. Through all this the industry has proven to be effective, resilient as well as dynamic, getting new solutions to deal with difficulty. There are often fresh challenges and chance to which the field must once more adapt and answer.
This version of Skyfire has been a major disappointment….I came from Windows Mobile and Skyfire wor ked quite well there. I haven”t been able to get a single video that I wanted to watch to play. There are two sites in particular that I wanted to have mobile access to to watch videos. BookTV.org and charlierose.com…and neither work at all. Add that with the other issues others have mentioned earlier. It only shows one vid if there are numerous vids on a page and the inability to rewind or fast forward make me want to ask Apple for my money back. Skyfire shame on you for releasing this rubbish. I expected more from you.
Ok, instead of this pie-in-the-sky unlock for older phones, how about a little untethered jailbreak love for the iP4???WOOHOHOHO! Yikes. These stories always remind me how incredibly good we have it here in the U.S. with cellular pricing.Followed your instructions and it worked like a charm! OS 4.2 and “Find my iPhone” all set on my iP4…watch out thieves!WOOHOHOHO! Yikes. These stories always remind me how incredibly good we have it here in the U.S. with cellular pricing.Followed your instructions and it worked like a charm! OS 4.2 and “Find my iPhone” all set on my iP4…watch out thieves!Same here, JamieW. I want my money back on the subscription. Find My iPhone is the ONLY feature of MobileMe that I use.
It is best to participate in a contest for among the best blogs on the web. I’ll advocate this website!
Hello, I just wanted to tell you that you can get a free Miami life insurance quote online. Get as many quotes as you want to make sure you are getting the best deal.
Ugh! So annoying. $99/year should get me things that everyone else doesn”t have. Although the Apple answer to that is “well, you get push mail, contacts, etc.”, and that”s true, the premium tag is now tarnished now that someone who”s never used it in their lives gets the same Find My iOS device for free. Come on guys, offer something compelling, or in January, I might let it run out and just stick with Google services.Im pissed at apple. Had they kept the “original” release date my iphone 4 would not be in the hands of the jack-off that stole it 2 days ago.I wouldn”t underestimate WP7. Clearly though it won”t be Apple which is a premium brand. The cheaper platforms will prevail in sheer numbers.isn”t this service identical to the new loopt ? accept loopt pushes you notifications when you are near one of your friends so you can meet.
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.
I like the hat. It fits with the “urban envelope” review. I”ll look into the case if my wife decide s she wants an iPad for Christmas. I think it would be a good fit for her usage style.Why not? The Galaxy Tab has two cameras. For that reason alone apple should add it. Everyday customers are going to look at price and see that the galaxy tab has two for the same price.4.2 works OK, except that it wrecked playback on headphones. I can still use powered computer speakers, but on headphones (earbuds and Sony noise-cancelling) – sound quality is horrible
Someone mention a rear camera would be good for a document scanner. I could see this. With so many note apps that accept photos, not a bad idea. Another idea, go ahead with a micro USB port, and keep the 30 pin also. You could hook up a scanner to the iPad via the USB, and get a better quality scan. Lot of possibilitiesBeen using the trial before making the purchase. Works as advertised. Really liking the print to Dropbox functionality. It”s important to note that this only works if the Printopia application is running. If you terminate the app on the Mac, you will no longer be able to print. That being said, I does deliver the goods.This just shows again that webos has it right. What”s with all the double clicking, and push/holding of that button, seems that the navigation is going to be worse now that before on my ipad. On my pre I just swipe around to open and close apps, way more elegant than this clunky piece of garbage, looks and feels so 1.0
I wish there was an easy way like this to remove the typed email addresses that are “remembered”. I can”t stand the old and incorrect email addresses that are shown as options when I start typing one.Just waitin” for the jailbreak so my orientation lock can go back to operating as advertised…c”mon, what were they thinking: change it to a mute switch when the volume controls are right there? Hello?My work is in the process of upgrading to 2010 which will solve the problem. On another note, they are working on being able to access your work exchange from apple products like the iPhone, and iPad.
Not a problem. The display is very good as is, and you know Apple is going to want to keep pricing the same or pretty close to first gen iPads. Since cameras and FaceTime are a given, I would rather they spend any extra dollars boosting the RAM and processor and adding gyroscopes. That”s what will get me in the store.My phone only makes a sound when the switch is on but it vibrates regardless of the switch position. The other issue is that it goes to speakerphone when I move it away from my face during a call. That is VERY annoying. I have read that it might be because of my screen protector (I have an Invisible Shield from ZAGG).I like the fact Sony have conceived the PS app,for me its just a pitty its on an Android phone,Im on my 3rd iphone model and was a Nokia, Sony Ericsson man until the iphone appeared,now W7 is a sweet OS and i have been playing around with the HD 7 and really like it,very solid complete looking OS compaired to Android.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
What’s up, fabulous web page however a touch slow anytime I visit it, it’s very likely my internet service, I am uncertain. Cheers
I haven”t gotten that particular message, but Netflix is definitely buggy on Apple TV. I do get oth er messages, and yesterday the throbber was spinning indefinitely. But it always works on my Roku or computers.I had this problem all the time. I finally just unplugged the power cable from the apple tv box then plugged it right back in. That seemed to fix it right away. I”ve had to do it only one other time since then.John exclusive Iphone to AT&T is ending and Apple would be stupid to have it available to 1 carrier in the U.S forever.If you”ve seen the current Iphone commercials it doesn”t say only at AT&T anymore.
Things i have usually told people is that when looking for a good on the net electronics shop, there are a few aspects that you have to factor in. First and foremost, you want to make sure to get a reputable along with reliable retailer that has picked up great assessments and ratings from other individuals and industry analysts. This will ensure you are handling a well-known store that can offer good support and support to its patrons. Thank you for sharing your notions on this blog site.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Hey. Gracias, but is it possible to expand this subject? Would it be possible to apply it on another basis?
There may be noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure good factors in options also.

I love my Att service. Does my phone work everywhere no do I need it to work everywhere no. The nex t work is so fast and I don”t drop anymore call on att thanbi dis on verizon.I don”t see what the big fuss is about. This is a nitch product. This phone will only appeal to a select few. I expect this thing to go the way of the PSP and UMD media format.Agreed with Myria, this survey is neither interesting nor important. For ebooks, hardware is just a small part of the question. How many books are these hardware owners buying?
For international users, long-pressing a vowel on the keyboard brings up the accented alternatives. Previously (and differently from iphone) the most common accented letter was pre-selected so that you could just lift your finger and use it, while now the vanilla vowel is pre-selected, and you need to drag towards the desired accent.For international users, long-pressing a vowel on the keyboard brings up the accented alternatives.
