Gallery, a Thematic Child Theme

This post is outdated. The Gallery theme is now available from my theme company, UpThemes. You can download it here. Also, be sure to check out Gallery Pro, the professional version of the popular free Gallery theme.

Gallery is a beautiful showcase-style WordPress theme built on the Thematic framework as a child theme.

Widescreen Video Embedding with Simple Video Embedder Plugin

Thanks to Jason Schuller’s easy-to-implement video embedding plugin, Gallery now supports video embedding from popular video sites like YouTube and Vimeo, even allowing you to add your own custom code if not supported. This is an awesome addition to Gallery and I even created a new icon for posts with video so you can differentiate between regular posts and video posts. You will want to download Simple Video Embedder from Press75.com to take advantage of this beautiful plugin. I believe it is also available from WordPress.org, so you can install this via the WordPress admin, just search for the title and off you go.

Theme Options

The theme options page currently allows modification of the number of days a post is considered “new.” This is currently the only option, but will be expanded upon in future releases.
