##Post tags: These are bootstrap 'label' style buttons and will have different colours based on the total number of times the tag has been used across all posts / pages on your site.

##Customisation:

• Version 6.1.0 adds support for wordpress theme customisation API.
• Currently supports changing background, text and border colours of the main theme elements.
• Version 6.2 adds support for the main background colours and the slide-out sidebar menu.

##Featured Posts on homepage The main slider on the homepage will use your top five posts (by views) if you have the top10 plugin installed otherwise it will use your 5 most recent as a fallback.

Multiloqient gets the image from the 'featured image' against the post if it exists, if it doesnt then it uses a default image.

##Category index page category-index.php is a page template incase someone wants to make a page that displays 'all available categories in hierarchical order'

• sort of a 'top level category page' - it only contains links to category archives. to activate, simply make a page in your system and assign the category or tag template.

##Tag index page tag-index.php is a page template incase someone wants to make a page that displays 'all available tags in alphabetical order'

• sort of a 'top level tag page' - it only displays links to tag archives to activate, simply make a page in your system and assign the category or tag template.

##Featured Images Posts with a featured image display the featured image in the header of the site.

##Posts pages Version 6.2 adds a 'featured posts' area under the main header that is shown on the posts.
This shows 4 posts from the same data as the homepage slider.

##YARRP Multiloquent has a theme for TW Recent Posts Widget 'yarpp' - yet another related posts plugin. It will auto include the related posts in the post page if its installed. [I suggest that you pick multiples of 3 for the number of related posts to show - 3 will be one row, 6 will be two rows]

##Jetpack sharing Multiloquent has support for jetpack sharing plugins. [and puts them in the correct position in your post if you have it installed].

##There are 4 post template files included if you use custom post template

1. Default with comments at the right hand side in desktop (under the post in mobile)
2. Full width post with comments underneath
3. Adventures: this auto inserts a google map if your post is titled 'placeA to placeB'

• eg 'Glasgow to London' will insert a google map with a route pre-selected - comments are disabled on this post template.

4. Full width post with no header image or footer

• useful for creating these one-page full-width layouts
