Whiteboard

Version 3.2.1

---

About

Description

The Whiteboard Famework for Wordpress is built to speed up the process ofdeveloping a Wordpress theme. Whiteboard does so by eliminating the time spent on

Wordpress' backend PHP that is common to all Wordpress powered Web site. Now

paired with Less Framework, Whiteboard even further reduces the development time to

create a Wordpress powered responsive website.

Copyright

The Whiteboard Framework is licensed under the GPL license. Feel free to use the

Whiteboard Framework for commercial and non-commercial ventures. We only require

a link in the CSS and greatly appreciate a link somewhere on the Web site.

Less Framework is licensed under the MIT license. A credit link is required in either the

CSS file and/or on the website somewhere.

Compatibility

Current known compatibility is with Wordpress 3.2.1

Compatibility with earlier versions or Wordpress is currently unknown, but should befunctional - at least with Wordpress 3.0 and up. But who needs compatibility with older

versions always? Upgrade people!

Removing Less Framework 3, All Basic Styling, & CSS Reset:

Remove the line of CSS in header.php that calls "lessframework.css" and "theme.css"



located right above the call for "style.css" very close to the end of the </head> tag (Yes,

that's all you have to do)

Making Images Resize Proportionally for Varying Sizes:

Making your images resize as the website changes widths is very easy to do. Check

out Responsive Images on Github (https://github.com/filamentgroup/Responsive-

Images)

A great example of this practice is Hicks Design's Website

(http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/)
