Heatmap Theme v3.0.2 NEW RELEASE
HeatMap Theme 3.0.2 has now been released now comes with 2 new features…
Post Thumbnails
StuartWider.com gets the Thumbnail Feature makeover!
Its now super easy to add thumbnails and images to your posts and pages using the Post Thumbnails feature. Just set the thumbnail image in your WordPress Post Editor and the image will automatically be sized and included in your Recent Posts Plus sidebar Widget, pages or posts. You can also choose to automatically align these images left or right from the HeatMap Theme options page (this is feature only available in 3.0.2).
You can see this feature in full effect on stuartwider.com.
Hide either post details or the comments count (or both!)
Some Heatmapsters wanted more from the Hide Post Details Feature that was introduced in 3.0.1 and now you’ve got it. You now have the option to hide the post details (eg categories, tags, date, author etc) but still have the comment count showing!
Again you can see this in full effect on stuartwider.com. Note the neat looking comment count where normally the full post details would appear on the home page under each post.
Bugs Eradicated
Child Themes now correctly pull their favicon from the child theme itself.
Support and Extra Goodies
The supported version of HeatMap Theme version 3.0.2 is available from the HeatMap Insider Forum.
Lifetime membership is free for HeatMap Ninjas!
As you might already know, a Heatmap Insider subscription gives you one year of lovely access to the Heatmap Insider Forum. Upgrades, child themes and support can all be yours for just $35 (this price won’t last forever btw).
but… how about if I told you that HeatMap Insider members can be upgraded to Lifetime membership?
No, I do not want your money. I’m not even going to sell you this. All you have to do to receive a lifetime membership to the Heatmap Insider is (1) Become a member, and (2) actively contribute to the forum (just like you do on other forums!)

Hot Times For HeatMap
Our boutique theme is growing up!
- HeatMap Theme is about to pass 24,000 downloads on the WordPress Free Theme Repository.
- We’ve just welcomed our 200th paid member on the HeatMap Insider Forum.
- There are now more than 1100 posts on the forum contain useful hints, tips, customisations and general HeatMap Theme advice.
That’s a whole lotta HeatMapstering!
Another highlight of the past few months is that HeatMap Theme is now listed in the WordPress commercial themes directory (which was one of our ambitions – now fulfilled!)
So its onwards and upwards for Mappy Mapster and the HeatMap Theme!
Many thanks to everyone who has sent their kind words of encouragement, support and praise. They are very much appreciated.
See you on the Inside… the HeatMap Insider Forum that is!

NEW HeatMap Insider Forum
HeatMap Theme users now have a new place for us all to get together and call home 
It’s called the HeatMap Insider Forum, and its the new official HeatMap Ads Theme forum where you can download all the extra goodies such as the coloured child themes, the drop down menus plugin, and get access to in-forum support from myself and other helpful HeatMapsters. In addition to the downloads and support there’s already lots of hints, tips, customisations and solutions in the forum, and our happy band of HeatMapsters is growing everyday.
Over the coming months I’ll be creating more child themes, add-ons and HeatMap Theme updates and they will all be accessible to subscribers in the HeatMap Insider Theme Downloads Forum.
What are you doing hanging around ‘out here’ ? 
come on in!
I look forward to seeing you on the inside (the HeatMap Insider that is)
Stuart Wider – HeatMap Ads Theme Designer
Adsense to Ads! small change, big plans!
Okay, so the more observant of you will have noticed this site has mysteriously changed from being about an Adsense theme to being an Ads theme (you did notice didn’t you? or were you just thinking you were going a bit loopy and that it had been this way all the time?)
It’s now HeatMap Theme’s one month birthday and during this short time that I’ve come to realise that HeatMap Theme has developed its own grand designs that stretch beyond Adsense. Yes it’s true, I originally started this whole thing to solve my own problem of being able to quickly and conveniently launch my own sites without having to install a whole mess of plugins and retrofit my WordPress Themes to make them work neatly. Well it seems that goal has been achieved (although there is more to come on that score).
I’m now starting to use other ad networks (US Visitors might notice some Chitika ads on this site) and other affiliate programs with HeatMap Theme, and since so many people are actively using HeatMap Theme with Adsense alternatives it makes sense that HeatMap Theme starts to spread its wings.

HeatMap Ads Theme Makeover for StuartWider.com
My blog has had a HeatMap Theme makeover!
I’ve finally had time to make over stuartwider.com (my personal blog site). Naturally it’s entirely built on HeatMap Theme, using the power of Child Themes so I didn’t have to touch the core code, not even a tiny bit!
When I get a spare minute I’ll create a tutorial to show you how it was done. It feels very ‘me’ (sorta retro colour 80’s).
I built HeatMap Ads Theme specifically so it could be a ‘blank canvas’ for monetised themeing adventures, especially the ‘wallpaper image’. By popping a new wallpaper in the theme you can quickly create a very individual look.
Let me know what you think, and if you are on a WordPress themeing adventure of your own with HeatMap Theme drop us a line.
