A portfolio theme? What about this? http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/coraline Much better than the new default WP theme (I customised it a bit here http://hmarstudents.org/ yesterday but without a slider). You can probably use a jquery/ wp plugin for the frontpage slider. On Wed, Apr 6, 201

We need a simple theme, uncluttered with a frontpage slider. Got it dude? M. On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 5:49 PM, Maitraya Bhattacharyya < maitraya.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, great resource. But can you single out the best. > > On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 2:08 AM, Lalremlien Neitham > wrote: > >>

Also, WP is easy to use, feature rich with tons of useful plugins, extensive support and userbase. And its not a surprise when it won Hall of Fame CMS Award http://cmsreport.com/press/2010/11/wordpress-wins-hall-fame-cms-award On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 10:02 PM, Maitraya Bhattacharyya < maitraya.li..
