I am very excited to announce the Collaborate WordPress Theme is now out of Beta an into its 1.1 version. Don’t waste your time, download the theme or go have a look at the live demo page.

How to use the Theme
The theme works right out of the box, if you are not familiar with the installation of themes, have a look at the official WordPress article.
The theme uses two separate sidebars.
You will find both sidebars listed in the widgets section of your admin panel. They are named ‘Home Page’ & ‘Post Page’. The first one is for using widgets on your home and archival pages. These will show up underneath the posts dividing the page horizontally. The second one is for using widgets on your individual post pages. This is more like your regular sidebar with the widgets listed vertically at the right underneath each other
The WP-Gravatars Plugin
This plugin is not yet properly supported by WordPress 2.7 and you will have to make some manual modifications if you still want your theme to validate.
I recommend using the WP-Gravatar plugin to show the recent comments on your home page. Just install the plugin, select the widget and display it in your ‘Home Page’ sidebar. BUT! Don’t activate the authors profile widget! This will break the layout. Read the next paragraph to learn how to further customize.
