contained: PREVIEW 1, PREVIEW 2, pastebin (raw) / google docs.

non-contained: PREVIEW 1, PREVIEW 2, pastebin (raw) / google docs.

note: ‘non-contained’ version will still be centered on your screen. there is just no visible container!

preview 1 will be what you see in the images above. preview 2 is a darker version and styled slightly different! 

this theme was created with blogs that have a larger description. feel free to style it however you so desire, though.

sidebar background image is 330px in width and 430px in height.

sidebar icon is 55px in width and height.

container image is post size+60px for width and 430px in height.

post sizes: 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500.

links: six total links but you can only input your own links for three of them. you also have three styling options for them! there are two toggles that will make them uppercase & smaller or lowercase & larger than your body text. however, you can disable both and the links will appear the same as your blog text. 

bold: you have the option to either have styled bold or regular. if you click styled bold, you have options for different sizes and fonts. i’m hosting five custom fonts and have included the adobe web font cooper black. it also includes an option to “bolden the bold” which will make the text even more bold, and will make the text stand out more. 

description: option between default description and text input along with two toggles for either a small caps description or an uppercase description.

asks & permalinks: two toggles for two different styles for your asks and permalink. please make sure you select only one option or the theme will mess up. 

freehostedscripts: there is an input on the customize page that you put your code in for a counter.

+ additional toggles for: borders, gradient accent, grayscale posts and uppercase tags.

+ additional options: 10 bullet styles, 4 different boder radius sizes (0px or rounded to 3px, 5px or 8px), opacity from 100% to 60%, uppercase or lowercase titles, 4 text size options.
