One of our big hits over at WPMU DEV Premium has been the Edublogs homepage theme, which, unsurprisingly, looks rather like the theme on the front of Edublogs.org :)
The Edublogs Homepage Theme
Well, we decided to make what we were offering even more attractive and today have released version 2.0 of the theme – which makes it super easy for anyone to use and customize it – without having to hack a single file.

And also introduces all those cool 2.8.x features – like nested comments, caption styling and all that jazz :)
So, what can you do with it now… well, there’s:
- Customize the category to appear on the front
- Add social bookmarking tools automatically
- Upload and customize the header and header text
- Change all your fonts
- Change all your colors
- Grab tabbed RSS feeds
- And more!

Hi,
Im sorry for the newbie question. Would the Edublogs Home Page Theme work with Buddy Press?
Thank you.
I’m afraid not – it’s a WPMU / WP theme only.
HOWEVER, we have some amazing new BuddyPress themes coming to WPMU DEV Premium next week… so watch this space :)
Thanks James,
Look foward to seeing them.
