For your reference here are the features included with The Source:

  • Four Unique Color Schemes – If you don’t like the standard Dark color of TheSource, then you may enjoy the alternate/lighter Grey, Blue and Red versions.
  • Three-column Layout – TheSource features a three-column layout, which gives you plenty of room to manage your sidebar widgets.
  • Widgetized Footer – The footer of TheSource has been widgetized and separated into 4 columns, giving you plenty of widget-ready room for all of your favorite plugins.
  • Homepage Category Boxes – These four boxes feature the latest posts from your favorite categories on the homepage.
