Alright, i’m finally releasing my current theme, it’s my 13th theme (lucky 13?) and i think it’s so far the best theme i’ve ever release.I must say a big thank you to my friend Richie K who coded this theme and you will see in your theme admin panel that alot of work went into it.This theme is also released in conjuction with this blog’s 1st annivesary, I can’t believed how time flew away so fast!.
Blog, Magazine & List
This is actually a 3-in-1 theme where you will be able to select you layout of choice from your theme admin panel, the choices are a (normal) blog layout, a Magazine styled layout and a List styled layout, you’ll get what i mean once you’ve uploaded and activated the theme.
Custom Fields & Plugins
This theme will run out of the box, there’s no real need for any plugins to be installed HOWEVER to get the most out of this theme i highly suggest you install these plugin:
Custom fields are also in use for this theme, you can learn more in the README section once you’ve activated the theme.
The Backend
Once you’ve uploaded and activated theme in your wp-admin>>presentation you will noticed another tab called Mzine CMS option, this is the place where you will be able to control the style of your theme, your prefered font family (17 to choose from!), your prefered font size, and you can also set image aligments that will automatically align images in your post to the left or right or none at all!.
You will also be able to add a header to the theme (894×125 minimum width and height) just paste your header’s URL.
There’s also some other cool stuff like font colors, navigation colors etc, download the theme to find out!.
Forte?
I did ask you to name this theme and there was some excellent suggestions but in the end i chose Forte because of my inclination towards music, my name has the initials of MF and some of my friends call me mezzo-forte which means moderately slow in musical terms, i already have a theme named Mezzo so i guess i wanted to complete it by releasing Forte.
License and Credits:
Forte is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, which essentially means you are free to edit and remix the theme as you wish BUT the two links in the footer that points back to this site must remain.

Footer Link Removal
I understand that some might want to use this theme for certain projects and require the links in the footer to be removed, I am accepting a flat fee of $25 for permission to remove the links, please contact me for more info.
Support
Releasing a few themes before this has taught me that it’s quite hard for me to answer every single support question, that is why i have decided to setup a support forum (soon) where i will once in a while offer my help but i’m also hoping that the readers of this blog will help each other out too. 
Ideas:
This theme is very tweakable, you can change the background, add logo and such to make it unique,as an example I am using this theme on my Football Blog as well.
Live Demo
(it’s the same theme this blog is using now).

Thanks
