Thank you! I love the design, ease and simplicity of this theme. It took a little while to figure out the homepage piece, but now that I have (and figured out the blog piece of that :-), I love it. Plus, one of the things I wanted to solve was the speed issue. My site used to have a ranking of between 600-800,000 on Alexa. As soon as I moved to a more intricate theme (Salient), my ranking went down to 2.5M (within a week or two) and slowly went down to 6,000,000. Within the first three days of using Interface Pro, my Alexa rating (that’s in 3 days), has bumped up 2M spots and a lot of that I’m guessing has to do with speed. I’ve gone from “slower than 80% of tested websites” to FASTER than 85% of tested websites” on pingdom. So thank you!

Obviously, this is your theme and you can do whatever you want with it. That said, there are several requests in this support section asking for an option to add recent blog posts to the home page (using the business template). Most of the big themes offer this option. So, hopefully, in the future, you’ll add this as an option (personally, I prefer the vertical option, but most themes seem to offer the horizontal version since it fits the row concept).

Finally, the workaround that I used was finding a plugin to accomplish this. For other Interface Pro users, the plugin is called, Special Recent Posts FREE. I just played with some of the settings until I found something that looked like what I was looking for. You can see it in use on my site at http://www.WIredToGrow.com. Hope that helps.

Christina. I’m not from Theme Horse :-), but when I logged in the download was on my account page—and that download had the style sheet.

I simply unzipped it (it had the style sheet). Renamed the file Interface 1-08. Zipped it back up and then uploaded it (as an add theme in the themes dashboard) and it worked perfectly.

Changed the active theme to the 1-08 and deleted the 1.07 version. The only change I had to make was to select the menu again. Everything else worked like clockwork.

Hope that helps,

Perfect! That’s exactly what I needed.

Thanks!

I apologize that I wasn’t clear. I wanted to add the blog posts to the business template as the homepage, not just have the blog posts (i.e. I want to have a full width slider at the top and blog posts underneath it). I finally found a plugin that displays the posts. Not exactly the way i’d like them (a la wwww.ruleoneinvesting.com) but close enough to get started.

Thanks

P.S. It seems that others have had a similar question (how to add blog posts to the business template). Any change you’ll add that as a plugin/widget in an upcoming version?

I’ve figured out several of these. The biggest problem I still have is how to add recent blog posts to on the home page. In the theme options I’ve selected the blog categories to “display on the homepage” however, i can’t figure out how to make that happen. What’s the secret?

Thanks!
