Templates for Wordpress
Although not officially supported at enterprise level, Wordpress offers the features most people seek in blog software.
This is a very standard blog template which uses familiar styles such as the uni menu and sidebar to display pages, categories and archives - the standard navigation elements within wordpress.
This is to be regarded very much as a starting point - a work in progress - in beta - however you want to put it! Input is welcome.

Note: the University now offers a basic blogging service.
Using this theme
This wordpress theme is specially configured to allow the wordpress site to have a ‘home page’ by default instead of the usual blog page.
If you’d rather use the standard blog as the home page, simply rename the file home.php in this theme folder to something like x-home.php, effectively hiding it from wordpress.
Still to do
- see if we can hook up the unimelb core javascript file to make the menu work
