Sony BMG Sweden uses Wordpress

omg! Song BMG Sweden actually runs the main site using Wordpress. Not only that, they use the same theme that I use - Mandigo! How’s that for some bragging rights for Tom@OneHertz.

If you don’t already know, Mandigo is the most customisation theme that I’ve come across so far. It has a myriad of features that you can easily turn on and off from its own admin options page. This theme is packed with so much stuff that it must have taken Tom weeks to make.

Flexible Layout

Mandigo can be displayed in two widths, which means that even though the default layout is thought to accommodate users with a 800×600 screen resolution, you can also choose to set the theme width to 1024 pixels.

Also, while the default layout shows only two columns, it is possible to turn a second sidebar on from the Theme Options page, and the two sidebars can be aligned to either side of the screen, independently.

Customizable Header Images

In Mandigo, it is really easy to customize header images: just overwrite the default image with your own, and that’s it, your blog name and description will be displayed over it. Contrast is not even a concern, since you have the possibility to apply a border and/or drop shadow to your blog title. It is also possible to have different header images on a per-page basis: simply name your image after the post ID, upload it to your host server and you’re done! And you can even have headers rotate randomly!

I’m off to download the latest version 1.28…
