| 11:58 am | Codilight WordPress Theme Review by BlessThisTheme
The theme used on BlessThisTheme is Codilight WordPress Theme, promoted by Mojo Themes. It’s a responsive WordPress theme suitable for blog or magazine websites. I installed it in seconds, the after installation customization being piece of cake. I selected the blog style, the other magazine mode it’s shown in the featured image above, with a nice grid scheme for the first articles. Codilight theme is fully responsive, working nicely on mobile phones or tablets. You don’t need to do more work to optimize it for those platforms. I have tested it enough to say it’s fast, stable, innovative. More than this, you won’t need any plugin that can improve some functions but could also cause problems. Pagination, related posts (simple or tabbed), a complex review part, SEO, advertisement management, styling, social integration, all are built in it.
The top bar is fixed, users will see it when scrolling down to seeing more of a post. It contains the home button, categories section, a hot tags section, the search bar, a social icons section and a share part. While the homepage is sleek and fancy, what I like the most is the post page. Depending on resolutions, it shows two or three columns. The three columns mode is the most active; in the first one you can see the tags, share options and more related posts. The middle column contains the main area for the article, but the title, breadcrumbs and featured image are all above, taking the space for both first and second column. That’s really nice. The third column is basically the sidebar – you can choose from various widgets that are specially made for this theme. Read more >> |

| 9:39 am | Villa Escarpa by Mario Martins Atelier
Architect Mário Martins, founder of Mário Martins Atelier, has been molding the contemporary structures of western Algrave, Portugal for the past 20 years. Martins latest addition to the Algrave’s rolling landscape is the Villa Escarpa, a rectangular white structure suspended from the hillside that was inspired by the Bauhaus movement. The Bauhaus philosophy was founded on the principal that form should follow function, while all other distractions and decoration should be avoided. Martins relates to this philosophy and wanted the space to be understood for its purity.
The pairing of architect and client could not have been more perfect for the Villa Escarpa. In this case, the client and Martins shared very similar definitions of “modern” and“statement living”, which gave the architect a clear direction for the design of the home.Martins believes that modern design can be achieved through several overriding principles – clean, straight lines, simple uncluttered spaces and a mix of natural and industrial materials.
