Our new Publisher theme is a perfect fit for newspapers and magazines, corporate websites, and non-profits. Heck, you could use it for practically anything! This Drupal theme has several custom front page features such as 4 custom home page blocks and uses tabbed JavaScript for the top featured region. Much like the Efficient theme, the Publisher theme automatically crops and resizes the front page “featured” images. Drupal modules used: Publisher, CCK, Imagecache, ImageAPI, and Imagefield modules.

The example video teaser we have added to the right column (top) and the left column blocks for categories on the homepage have all been added through the administer “blocks” menu within the administration section of Drupal. These were created by default as “blocks” because they only appear on the homepage and creating a dynamic display of these few blocks would’ve added several more layers of setup, complications, and instructions which is not really needed since they only appear on the homepage of the Drupal Publisher theme.
