Daily Edition is a clean, spacious newspaper/magazine theme designed by Liam McKay. With loads of home page modules to enable/disable and a unique javascript-based featured scroller and video player the theme oozes sophistication.

Unique Features:

* A neat javascript home page featured slider, with thumbnail previews of previous/next slides on hover over the dots.
* A “talking points” home page that can display posts according to tags, in order of most commented to least commented. A great way to highlight posts gathering dust in the archives.
* A customizable home page layout with options to specify how many full width blog posts and how many “box” posts you would like to display.
* A javascript home page video player with thumbnail hover effect.
* 16 delicious colour schemes to choose from!

Woothemes are great.  I’ve worked with:  Daily Edition, Coffee Break, Feature Pitch and THiCK.
