1. Create a post and upload one of the featured images you want. You can set up different sizes for a brick as you can read below. James has been provided with a resize script, but large formats can negatively influence the loading time of your page. For example use photos 900 px x 720 px as we used in our preview website.
Next you select the category you want for this post.
Beneath James Page options you give the brick format you want to use:
150 x 150 px
300 x 150 px
300 x 300 px
600 x 300 px
150 x 300 px
If you want to use a video in your brick, fill in the url to your video like below:
http://theme-dutch.com/presents/jamesHarrison/video/JAMES-2.m4v
We have set the video frame at 594 x 294 px
2. James admin panel.
Now go to James admin panel and select tab: category setup.
Choose the brick style for your category.
3. WP/ Brick settings
Now go to Settings / Reading to adjust the bricks for your home page.
Front-page displays; Select you latest post and save changes.
If you watch you home now, you’ll see the brick style.
Note: Video brick style:
We advice you to use only 1 video at your home page with bricks. Do not forget to set up the video size as minimal as possible to prevent loading issues and prevent your visitors of leaving your page too soon.
Video types:
Youtube, vimeo, self-hosted: flv, f4v, mp4 and mov.
