>>>>Installation<<<<
--------------------


1. Unzip the download to your desktop.
2. Upload the entire folder to your /wp-content/themes folder using your FTP client.
3. Login to your Wordpress admin panel and activate the theme under 'presentation'.

--------------------
>>>Configuration<<<
--------------------

1. Categories 

In your wordpress admin panel go to Manage>Categories and create two new categories. 'blog' & 'features'. These will now become the default categories for displaying posts in the left and right hand columns of the front page. 

Blog posts will appear on the left. Feature posts will appear on the right. Also please note that the top post on the front page will be taken from the 'features' category and not from the 'blog' category.

You can create as many other categories as you like but you must flag either the blog or features category alongside the other categories when writing a post to determin which column the post will appear under.

2. Flickr

To configure your flickr thumnail roll you need a specfic flickr id. To get this id you will need a Flickr account that contains your photos. 

Once you have this simpy go to this site to retrieve your id number: http://idgettr.com/

an example of a flickr id is: 56477672@N00

Once you have your id, the last step is as follows: Open your Victoria folder and using a text editor (such as Windows Notepad for example) open the file named 'home'. Scroll down towards the bottom until you find the following line of code:

<?php include(get_template_directory_uri() . '/flickr_feeder/module.php?id=56477672@N00' . $aOptions['flickr_id'] . '&tags=' . $aOptions['flickr_tags']); ?>

Where it says: ?id=56477672@N00 change the number to your id. Save it and upload the 'home' file to your /wp-content/themes/victoria folder.

That's it you're done!

3. Header Image Rotator

I have included a rotator.php script in this theme that allows you to have rotating header images. The image will change on each page click. To make use of this feature you first need to find some images.

- Crop the images to 355 pixels wide x 265 pixels high.
- Save them as jpg files on your desktop.
- Upload the images to /wp-content/themes/victoria/assets/images/rotator
- That's it! Now when you refresh your browser you should see the images change.


4. Changing the header image

If you don't want to use the rotator but just want to change the header image to your own picture of choice, follow the istructions for #3 above and simply delete the jpg file named 54.jpg in the rotator folder and replace it with your own image (remember that the dimensions should be 355x265)
