Innovation - Ext JS Wordpress Theme Blog

A neat WordPress theme built with the Ext JS JavaScript Library.

The only Some things I see wrong with it from playing with the demo:

  • It doesn’t make use of browser history (jQuery History/Remote plugin).
  • The user cannot navigate from post to post without going back to the home page.

Some very cool features:

  • Using the Extras menu the user can view all of the recent comments on the site in a new tab of the interface.
  • The user can easily switch between color schemes (also found in Extras menu).
