Hello Glam – 3rd Party Genesis Framework Theme

The Hello Glam theme is a 3rd party Genesis Framework theme created for feminine bloggers in the Food Industry. This theme has everything that you need to run a professional food blog with a shop being a huge focus. The homepage, if you mimic the demo version, is just eye catching in a huge way. The top header of this theme is a menu bar and your logo image is right in the middle of it. As you scroll down, this menu converts to a sticky menu bar. There are several widgets to set up for the homepage but the first big rectangle widget can be used for your slider that you can link images to anywhere on your blog.

The next 2 homepage widget sections are what I like: the first one is a 3 widget square blocks side-by-side for you to link to popular areas of the blog. Under this is a widget for your autoresponder box. Further down are your latest blog posts and a sidebar showing a beautiful footer area. Add a after entry widget under the author resource box to display advertisements.

Let’s look at the Hello Glam theme features:

Very Important!
