Mimbo3.0 is a clean, customizable magazine-style theme for WordPress created by Darren Hoyt.

before i switched to my website’s current theme, i did an extensive search on the best wordpress theme that could showcase most of what i do. my previous theme was cluttered and plain and i was looking for something more organized. that’s when i found Mimbo3.0 and thought it suited the site perfectly for what i had in mind.

so for the love of jobberBase, i am releasing the port of this great theme that you can use!

things to note when installing this theme: 1) this is a direct port only (does not have the features that Mimbo3.0 has), meaning that only the style has been ported, but the rest of the template is still jobberBase of course and 2) you will keep the credit links intact if you decide to use it in your site

extra features include:
- banner ads ready (125×125)
- rss feeds link on each categories

to enable the banner ads, you need to add this block on /_config/config.settings.php before the last closing php tag:

// banners
define('BANNER_ACTIVE', 1);
define('BANNER1', 'advertise-here.jpg');
define('BANNER1_LINK', 'http://www.redjumpsuit.net');
define('BANNER2', 'advertise-here.jpg');
define('BANNER2_LINK', 'http://www.redjumpsuit.net');
/*
define('BANNER3', 'advertise-here.jpg');
define('BANNER3_LINK', 'http://www.redjumpsuit.net');
define('BANNER4', 'advertise-here.jpg');
define('BANNER4_LINK', 'http://www.redjumpsuit.net');
*/

if you want to display 2 rows, 2 columns banner, simply uncomment the commented banner blocks.

this post is to show that any wordpress theme can actually be converted to a jobberBase template (if you just have the patience to do so.) typically, converting takes about 4 to 6 hrs to work out all the quirks and bugs. if you are interested in converting a wordpress theme, send me an email: myredjumpsuit [at] gmail [dot] com!

if you haven’t picked a wordpress theme yet, here are my top recommendations:
