Description:
Wordpress Theme development from the ground up.
Three Minute Media is a Wordpress Theme developed to be able to put together video clips from any source (Youtube, Blip.tv, Revver, etc.) and group them together to resemble Video Shows and Video Segments.
The theme uses Custom Fields for a lot of the parameters such as video clip source, ad graphics, Daylife parameters.
This Wordpress Theme is capable of integrating most video clips as Shows and Segments by specifying these custom fields:
* 'show_id' - Same show_id would group all segments into one show.
* 'video_source' - This contains the video embed code from Youtube, blip , or other video service.
A Post page with the category "news" will show a video clip, together with its other Segments listed below in the playlist.
In the Recent Stories sliding panel, will be other Shows.
Navigation is also customized to display icons configurable in Custom Fields named 'icon'. Upload the icon into /YOUR_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY/images and input the filename in the Custom Field.
Also did additional CSS styling.
