In order to get multiple clicks per visit and a low bounce rate it is important to tease the visitors with fresh and interesting content. The recent from categories widget set up in this demo is a pretty good example of how to do this. In some cases however it is better to show most popular content and not just the latest posts.

Below this area there is a post listing with main focus on the latest posts and them smaller images and headline for posts that are a bit older. This is a good layout and it gives a dynamic look and feel and allow you to show many posts on the front page.

The themes have been localized for easy translation. Included with each theme are sets of .mo and .po files that can be used to translate the theme, which means you wont have to spend hours searching through PHP files for English words.
