Documentation

Install

  1. Download the ZIP file, unzip it.
  2. Upload the Quentin folder to your WordPress wp-content/themes directory.
  3. Navigate to APPEARANCE > THEMES in the WordPress admin and activate Quentin.

Settings

Configuring settings is optional, but recommended.

  1. Navigate to SETTINGS > MEDIA page in the WordPress admin.
  2. Set the Thumbnail Size width to 125 and the height to 125.
  3. Set the Medium Size max width to 300 and the max height to 300.
  4. Set the Large Size max width to 470 and the max height to 470.

Options

The goal of Quentin is to remain simple, as such the options are limited and fairly self explanitory.

  1. After activating Quentin, navigate to APPEARANCE > QUENTIN OPTIONS in the WordPress admin.
  2. Choose your preferred color scheme (Blue, Red, or Green)
  3. Author’s Byline. Every article shows a “byline” (after the title of an entry a line that reads “By Author”). Checking this box will make the byline not appear.
  4. Optional Excerpts. Some people prefer to not show the complete entry on the front page. Checking this box will show only the excerpt.

Contributions

Quentin was designed by Mike Purdy. It is based on the framework of Sandbox, and a special thanks to Andy Skelton and Scott Allan Wallick is much deserved.

Also thanks to:

  • Dan (for an article on how to create an options menu)
  • Amber (for lots of support).
  • Jackson Hall (for getting the Faulkner reference).
  • A Reasonable Man (for actually updating Quentin on his own accord a few years ago)
  • Most of all: Thanks to all the Quentin users out there who made me realize Quentin should be maintained.

Quentin

This is Quentin. Quentin a simple theme for WordPress, designed to be pretty, paper-like and easy to set up.

Now Available in Three Flavors

If you’re running a personal website with WordPress and you’re looking for a theme, Quentin is free to download and use. If you’re running a website and you’re looking for a theme with a ton of options that will help turn WordPress into a Content Management System, Quentin is probably not for you.

Quentin is designed to be primarily used for blogging. It is meant to be easy to read, quick to install and quick to use. As such, there are no fancy “drop down” menus in the navigation or customizable headers. No configuring of typefaces. No uploading of your logo. There is an options page, but all you will find there is a choice of three color schemes, and a question about showing the byline after the headline.

It’s an old-fashioned theme. If you think Quentin may be right for your content, please download it and give it a try. If you like it, I would appreciate a donation (it will help with further development).
