New Features Added to Accumulo

We got a lot of great feedback when we launched the Accumulo theme last week — thanks to everyone who offered comments and suggestions.

It’s not a conventional WordPress theme for blogging, but it does come with its own custom Blog page template (live example). The problem is that some users wanted to merge the blog with the homepage feeds so that it wasn’t obscured.

Blog option for the homepage

So what Ben did was to add an option that lets you assign which tab will display the blog on the homepage:

In the same Options panel, you can then name that tab whatever you want (ex: “Blog”):

Assign a tab to your blog

As you can see on the live homepage, you can now display the blog in whatever tab you choose:

By nature Accumulo is intended for aggregating outside content which means there must be some restrictions on caching or else the page-load would get very slow as it struggled to collect all those feeds. To give the user more flexibility, Ben added some caching options that can be adjusted depending on your preference:
