AskIt Premium WordPress Theme
12, Feb 2011
AskIt is perhaps the most advanced theme we have created, and effectively transforms your blog into a fully functional question and answer site. AskIt allows your visitors to post their questions and have them answered by fellow members. Any visitor can post answers to these questions which are then voted on by the community until a “correct” answer is chosen by the question author. AskIt comes with seven different color variations. If the default colorscheme isn’t your style, then surely one of our alternate versions will suite your needs. Visitors can help choose the correct answer by voting answers up/down. Post authors can also deem a single answer as “correct” for each question. With our external member signup and question submission forms, your visitors will never have to deal with the WordPress dashboard to manage their posts. Now you can instill a sense of community through the use of member ratings. Each of your members receives a star rating based off their number of correct answers. This theme utilizes timthumb to automatically resize your thumbnail images. Because of this, only one thumbnail images is required per post, despite the various thumbnail sizes used in the theme. With AskIt you can place 125×125 banner images in your sidebar and 468×60 ads to your post pages with ease. Advertisements are handled from within wp-admin, and can be turned on and off at any time.
