WooThemes Canvas Theme Review – What makes it stand out to us:
OK, WooThemes has put over 100 different options in this WP Theme that you can set all thru the great, easy to use WooThemes options panels.
This is COOL! I am a big fan of having lots of easy to set options to configure my blogs the way I want them without coding or compromising! WooThemes Canvas Theme has addressed some critical issues that other flexible WP Themes don't. For example, I have wrestled with some so called flexible wordpress themes that won't let you adjust the width at all much less have 6 different pre-configured pixel widths like the WooThemes Canvas Theme.
This is critical as some blogs work better with wider widths then others, But that is just the icing on the cake, the killer part of WooThemes Canvas Theme in my opinion is that you can actually use different layouts for different pages or posts.
That is incredible. Imagine having one layout for your blog articles and another one for your merchandise pages,. Or one for book reviews and another layout for Event Calendars or one layout for blog articles with a lot of photographs and another layout for blog articles that are heavy in text. Or any combination you want.
I ALSO LIKE THAT ON WOOTHEMES CANVAS THEME YOU CAN CHANGE THE TEXT FONTS ANYWHERE ON THE PAGE TO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU WANT. That is not an option with many themes. And it reminds me of the Thesis Theme.

All the WooThemes feature a control panel that will appear in the left hand side of your admin panel after you install the theme.
It will have a little “woo” icon in blue and then the name of the theme like “Canvas”/. Click on that tab and it will give you a drop down menu of all the configuration settings that are possible for the Theme grouped by categories like Theme Options, Sidebar Manager, etc. Once you click on one of those it will bring up a control panel that lets you set all the options including where and when comments are allowed.
