Debut of Society
Featuring a flexible grid layout and a bold post viewer, Society might be Style Hatch’s most versatile and customizable theme. With the customization options you can easily change the entire color scheme, images and layout options. Plus we introduced highly requested features like your Instagram feed, infinite scrolling, and the ability to quickly like and reblog posts.
Lighbox Post Viewer
With Society you can quickly view your posts in the unique lightbox viewer where you can see the high-resolution version of the post, add comments with Disqus, and like or reblog the post. As a bonus we have enabled keyboard shortcuts so that you can press the J and K keys to quickly go to the next or previous posts. When you launch a post in the viewer or go to a new post we will even update the URL in your browser so that you can easily share a link to your post.
Social Features
Society has built in support for group blogs, sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, and Google Plus, comments powered by Disqus, Instagram feed, and posts you like. Also in the appearances options you’ll find nearly 30 social profile icon links.
