Magfolio from PremiumThemes is a magazine or portfolio style premium Wordpress theme. The cool thing about this Wordpress theme is that it combines the idea of wanting to showcase the “latest” news and keep a portfolio section as well. This magazine style theme allows easy customization with a unique back-end control panel and comes packaged with the PSD file so you can change the look and feel easily with the original graphics.
Another thing I really like about this theme is the Twitter feed box built into the home page layout. I like this because it looks clean and not out of place. So many themes try to do this but ultimately fail to keep a consistent look. This is a great looking theme.
Some of the many features include:
- Fully customizable front page with full ability to change the graphics using the theme admin panel
- Custom back-end control panel
- Localization support
- PSD File Included
- Separate “blog” section
- Gravatar and threaded comments
- Fully supported through support forums
- Set up and ready for ads with placeholders in place
- Sidebar fully widget ready with a custom widget

I know that most of the time we write about new and upcoming Premium Wordpress Themes, but in addition to reviewing and showcasing themes, we talk a lot about blogging. We have so many consulting clients that we work with and my pitch over and over is that blogging is at the heart of any social marketing/networking strategy. And and big thing that keeps that social loop flowing is a strong Facebook presense.
We all know the Too Creative team are iPhone junkies and frankly, any social effort can sure use this little marvel of technology that Apple has created to keep all your social networks abreast of everything you are doing. Enter the new Facebook App for the iPhone OS 3.0.
This new app has been under development for quite a while (since the OS 3.0 SDK has been available) and over last weekend, it was turned in to the iTunes store for final review. The release is expected any moment now, and myself, among millions of others (12 million to be exact) are waiting as well. I’ve checked the App updates twice this morning already.
So, what’s in store for the new app? Inside Facebook received the App yesterday for review and have broken down several new things to the shiny new app, and discussed things it is missing.
1. Full News Feed Interaction, with Likes and Comments
2. Full Support for Facebook Pages
3. New Home Page Navigation
4. See Upcoming Events and RSVP
5. Video Uploading
6. Complete Photo Management
7. Write Notes and Read Your Friends’ Notes
Things that weren’t included:
- Push Notifications – Lead developer Joe Hewitt says full push support will be included in version 3.1.
- Hiding people from the News Feed – While you can do this on Facebook.com, you can’t yet do it on 3.0.
- Event Walls are not yet accessible – Although you can RSVP, you can’t write on event walls.
- Videos are not yet playable inside 3.0
- The app can only be used in Portrait mode – though Hewitt says Landscape mode is coming soon
- Application Integration – While application notifications are accessible, clicking them takes you into full browser mode inside the new Facebook app. Applications invitations are not accessible.
We are excited to see this come through, just checked again, nothing yet, but we’ll keep you updated!
