Features

The code contains some optimization for search engines like:

• Canonical URL, useful until nodewords module will not manage it correctly.
• More descriptive title and alt tags on logo and sitename.
• Persistent top mission description.
• Self-link to current page (except front page).
• First heading (h1) is set on page title, not on site name.

The template is structured in many regions:

• Header (#header).
• Preface First (#preface_first).
• Preface Middle (#preface_middle).
• Preface Last (#preface_last).
• Content (#content).
• Content Bottom (#content_bottom).
• Sidebar First (#sidebar_first).
• Sidebar Last (#sidebar_last).
• Footer (#footer).

Header region can be used for an image or a slideshow. If you plan to add text on this region, be careful to remove the:

#header p{ line-height:0; }

code from the CSS style file (style.css).

The Sidebar First doesn't have a background, so it can be used for adding a slideshow or banners. The Sidebar Last has a coloured background and rounded borders, like prefaces blocks and the primary links.

This first release of the template have a fixed footer too, but it is easily customizable for making it dynamic. You simply have to split the background image, add at least one div to the template and play a bit with the CSS. Don't worry, I've already planned to do this task in the near future for the next release.

You can freely use it and re-distribute it on your website but you've to remember that this is an Open Source project, so you have to leave orignal credits in order to respect the license.
