We all know how Pinterest took the social media scene by surprise when it went viral. Pinterest has this neat look… no wonder why most of its users are women 
. Just like a cork board “pinning” your favorite stuff or notes together is a sure way to be more organize. So if you are or want-to-be an organized social media/web surfer then you better create an account now on Pinterest.
And as for you who want to have a blog or website that has the Pinterest look then I strongly suggest you check out Sampression Lite a free WordPress theme that has the professional look and feel of Pinterest.
“Sampression Lite is a minimalist, fully responsive, retina ready, translation ready, clean theme, perfect for blogging. It’s lightweight responsive design allows this theme to adapt across a range of screen sizes. Besides an elegant design, Sampression Lite features customizable menus and widgets, supports custom header color and image, custom background color and image, along with a threaded comments section. It supports sticky notes with special effects and allows for the best placement of feature images on posts. It is a full fledged theme with easily customizable theme option page.”
An important Note:
Before using Sampression Lite I have an important note for you which I know will be of help. Well the first time I saw this awesome looking theme I already liked it and without any hesitation I activated it on my personal blog. BUT there was a slight problem ; when I visited my post the featured image was just too big that it intimidated me. Imagine an image of Benjamin Franklin‘s with a size of 600 x 800 (pixels) right in front of you.. I know it’s weird but that’s exactly what the default setting of Sampression Lite is. Your featured image will appear at the top of your blog post in its widest setting.
As I always do I went in WordPress Support Community (one of the most awesome community around the web by the way) and try to look for a solution. Unfortunately I found none. And so after an hour of trial and error (I know right it took me an hour!??) I figured out a way to solve my problem. This may not be the best solution but hey I managed to solve it so here you go:
Step 1 >> Go to your Appearance> Editor
Step 2 >> Go to Style Sheet (style.css)
Step 3 >> Do a CTRL + F and paste “body.single article.post .featured-img”. The original code is:
body.single article.post .featured-img {
height:auto;
margin:0;
}
Step 4 >> Simply add “width: 0px;” right after the “height:auto;” which should look like this:
body.single article.post .featured-img {
height:auto;
width: 0px;
margin:0;
}
Step 5 >> Hit “Update File” and viola! You now have the Sampression Lite looking awesome.
Aight that’s all for this post I hope that you will find it useful. Feel free to HIRE ME s your website or blog designer if you need one. Cheers!
