Just what I have been looking for.
So happy and great timing.
Need this for a new site I have been planning.
I will be using this template with Joomla articles.
The only thing I would Like to see in your next news style template is the use of EasyBlog by Stackideas instead of Joomla articles.
If I could use EasyBlog to manage my articles and have a news site look like this would be awesome.
This is a great template. love it
Cheers, Adam
As you buy all their extensions as a package, works out cheaper.
If you do, and I hope you do. Use EasyBlog you will also need to add their other extensions as most people will buy all there extensions as a whole package.
That would be really cool!
