Questions and Answers:
1- Should we use custom fields to show up the thumbs related to posts or they are automatically shown from the posts content?
Answer: If you are using the default Teen style theme(i prefer this one), you should set thumbnail(wordpress function). In right-bottom in write post panel, there is a link called "Set thumbnail". Click it and upload your image. Then click the "Use as thumbnail" link in image panel.
If you want to show the first images in posts as thumbnails, i created a new version of Teen Style. Download it from here. There is "Get the image from content function" in this version. It means, if you add a photo in post, function will create the thumbnail of the first photo automatically. If you want to use this version, do the same installation steps. And make sure that both directories /scripts/ and /cache/ are set to 777 so they’re writable by the server(cache folder is in scripts folder). IMPORTANT: Still you should set a thumbnail for photo gallery posts. Because this new feature does not get the first image from photo galleries.
2- Is it possible to make the main image to cover up the whole width of the page (while showing each images in photo gallery, as it looks nice for a gallery) So is that possible?
Answer: Yes, it is possible. Enter Settings-Media in Wordpress admin panel. Write 620px in both of the "Max width" and "Max Height" fields in "Medium size" part. Save changes.
3- Can you provide us with an option of adding logo?
Answer: Download this file. Extract the header.php. Open it and find LOGOURLHERE. Replace it with your logo url(it must begin with http://). Save the file. Replace the old header.php file with this new header.php. Logo can be 60px height.

Hey Awesome theme dude
it just looks gorgeous! I’m planning to use it on my new website, but I hv a few queries, which I hope you will be kind enough to explain/answer.
1. The left sidebar(homepage) takes posts from a particular category mentioned by the admin but what about the middle column? Does it show the most recent posts from all categories?
& what if we want to show posts of the middle column from a particular category, like the left sidebar?
2. Should we use custom fields to show up the thumbs related to posts or they are automatically shown from the posts content?
3. Is it possible to make the main image to cover up the whole width of the page (while showing each images in photo gallery, as it looks nice for a gallery) So is that possible?
4. Can we make the the photogallery image urls, a bit seo friendly? rather than, /attachment_id=* to something like /photos/postname/IDnumber or /photos/postname/imagename?
I hope you gonna answer the above & help everyone to understand your theme better
Thanks in advance
Thanks a lot. I am happy that you like it.
1. Middle column shows the latest posts from all categories except the featured category 1, 2 and photo gallery. That means, there will not be dublicate links on homepage.
If you want to show posts from a particular category, you need to open the index.php and change some codes.
- Learn the ID of the category that you want to show in middle column,
- Open index.php,
- Find new WP_Query(“cat= (there are 6 same codes. Do not change the 7th one)
- Add the category ID at the end of this codes and add a comma.
For example, if your category ID is 7, make the 6 codes new WP_Query(“cat=7, Then the lines will be like the this: < ?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=7,-< ? echo ..... (no spaces with < and ?)
OR, download
this file.Extract the index.php file in zip archive. And open it. Find IDHERE (there 6 IDHERE in file). Replace IDHERE with your category ID. Then the lines will be like this: cat=7&showposts=1&offset=0. Replace theme index.php file with this index.php file.
2. You should use the custom field to show up the thumbs.
3. Enter Media under Settings in WP admin panel and change the Medium size.
4. No. This is a function of the wordpress not the theme. You can do it by adding codes in .htaccess file but this will not be easy.
Hm, well that was the quickest & well explained reply I ever got for a comment query
I don’t know your name:( but for now my dear admin, u just rock 
& hey few more things I forgot to ask! & a couple of suggestions; I hope you don’t mind?
*Can you provide us with an option of adding logo? bcz thats the first thing every site concentrates on & I hv seen a lack of that option in this particular theme too.
*I was also wondering whether this theme supports widgets on both homepage & post pages unlike WordTube Video theme?
*Users won’t be able to see the search bar clearly (as its located in the right uppermost corner & that too in a very small size), So I was wondering if you could alter it or bring it to the menu bar or to the top of right sidebar (whichever can improve the look & performance of the theme?)
*& I tried adding support to ‘Get the Image’ plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/ ), but I couldn’t make it out
, So I was thinking if you could make the theme to use this plugin, its gonna be a big add-on for this theme.
I hope I’m not bombarding your head with so many things, am I? Its just to make the theme much more rocking than what it is already now
Hi,
1- I did not want to add a logo option because most of the users do not use photoshop and using a title is better for SEO.
But if you want to add a logo, download this file. There is a new header.php file in it. Extract it. Open the file and find LOGOURLHERE. Replace it with your logo url. Url should be like http://www……./logo.png. Replace your old header.php with this new header.php.
2- Again, i did not add widget function. Because the sidebar width is wide(300px). If you add archives there, it will be very bad. Also, i added all the functions like category menu, page menu, etc. So, i do not think that users will need widget function. But, if you want to add a poll, etc, open the sidebar files and add the codes. It is really easier than using widgets.
3- Yes the search part is small. But i can not add it in category menu. Because some of the users will add too many categories. They will need a wide area. I can see the search part, you can see it, too. So i think, everybody can see it:)
4- Most important feature of this theme is, it does not need any plugins. Clicking the “Use as thumbnail” link is better than using a plugin. Because plugins are not good for CPU.
Thanks for your questions.
Yes, I agree that its always good to have a theme functioning without any extra plugins. But the thing I’m talking about is, adding the automatic thumbnail feature to show on homepage, fetching it from the post content, rather than using custom fields for every post (as more than 95% of the posts contain images & I’m sure majority of the users out there will agree with this point, that there should be an automatic thumbnail feature on pages showing excerpts like homepage, category pages, tag pages etc..) & thats what I thought ‘Get the Image’ plugin would do, saving a hell lots of time for you writing the theme again? Almost every user wants to show full sized (or large) sized images in post content but want to show the thumbnail of that in the excerpt/homepage area avoiding an hassle of adding thumbnails again & again for each post using custom fields!
So don’t you think adding that small feature could really be a huge add-on for the user/publishers saving lots of their time? What do you think? Shall we see that feature? OR at least the support for plugins like ‘Get the Image’ (I’m sure doing that would be like a cake walk for you)? And if that happens, I’m sure there won’t be an easy beat for this theme
@Sukumar, i created a new version for you. Please check the “Questions and Answers:” part in post. New version of the theme uses the first images in posts as thumbnails. If you do not want to add a photo in post but use a thumbnail, you can still use the set thumnnail function. But if you use the set thumbnail function, do not add images in post. Else, there will be 2 thumbnails.
I did not use the “Get the Image” plugin. Because it does not resize the images. So i use this code and timthumb.
Hey thanks for that admin
*& One more thing I just noticed is the photo gallery page (where each image is shown) is really missing ads?! Well, is it possible to add a Small Rectangle (180×150) OR Half Banner (234×60) Adsense Ad format (or whichever you think is better) in between the two thumbnail images & exactly below the middle image? (I wander why you didn’t add ads on the most prominent space, below the main image pages?)
People do not click on ads on photo pages. So i did not add ads on image.php.
If you want to add, open image.php, find < div class="alignleft" > and < div class="alignright" >. Add your ad in between these lines.
K, Thanks for that dude
Its really been so nice of you to get all my queries with a tremendous patiance & I appreciate that, bcz no one invests so much of their time solving the user queries (for a free theme) & as I always kept saying, you are really rocking
I’ll showcase my site as soon as it completes (may be after I complete with wordtube video) & I’ll suerly put my best to promote these two themes
hello,
after i activate the theme, the page apears white with nothing on it. any clues?
This is mostly because of ftp programs. Some programs add codes on top of php files.
Firstly activate the default theme. If there are not any problems, download the teen style theme from this page again and use CuteFtp as the ftp program.
it was from pagination plugin (page navi) that it was installed.
deactivated plugin then all went ok
Yes, you do not need that plugin. Teen Style theme already has a similar function.
can you please make right sidebar widget ready? that’s the only minus of this great theme (greater than 90% of premium themes)
so once again if you can make rightsidebar widget ready you made my day, and week, and…
Ok, i will make the theme widget ready tonight. Please check this page tomorrow.

Hi,
I used a function that limit the size of the content of the posts on homepage. But i think this code can not count the characters in Chinese. I see that it only works for the posts that includes latin letters.
Sorry i could not help. If you can ask in Chinese wordpress forums, may be they can help about the limit function.
OK,thank you all the same!
which file should i change if i want to make it work for chinese charactors?
3ks.
Please download this file. Replace the teen style files that you are using in your blog with these theme files.
In this file, i used the basic limit function. It may works.
Any chance in getting a credit removal option
Sorry, no.
Ok not even for a payment.
Currently on localhost i dont even have a footer. And i cannot save the theme options page. i have to edit the files manually To include the category etc
did you download the theme from this page? I see the footer.php in theme file. Also options page has no error. Do not use wp-pagenavi plugin.

hi,
you should use the default wordpress thumbnail function. please check these images:
1- http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/1790/89977194.jpg . click this link and upload your image.
2- http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2286/46778749.jpg . then click this link in image details screen. thumbnail will be created automaticly.

Can You Please Tell me how can I Change Blogroll Thanks..
thanks for using our theme.
you can add/delete/change the blogroll links from wordpress admin panel. enter Links/Edit in left side of the wordpress admin panel. you will see the added links. you can delete them and add your own links.
Hi
i am using your theme
Its Cool
But i install on my website but Blue page are there
not showing my webpage
plz visit my website and tell me whats the problem
my site is http://www.celebrity.mixxsms.com
Thank You Very Much
sorry, could not understand the problem. do you have a problem about thumbnails?
Where would I insert the tracking code for Google Analytics?
Google Analytics code must be between body tags. So,
- open header.php
- find body>
- insert the analytics code below this body>.
Thanks so much ! One more question, how can I change the footer of the template if possible? It doesn’t quite go with the nature of my site.
sorry, you can not edit or delete the links in footer.
How to get URL of first image?thankS for help!
Seems as though the thumbnail gets added properly if I add an image through posting and when it stores itself locally: wp-content/uploads/2009/09/blue-2009-8b-1_12506756341.jpg .
But If I put a image url location from another site the thumbnail doesn’t appear in the initial post, so it doen’t retrieve the first image from the post at all? Any ideas please?
as you told, image must be in your server(website). you can not use images as thumbnails from another sites. because the timthumb function can not create thumbnails of images from other websites.

Help me pls^^
yes, theme is not widget ready because of the layout.
