2)Posts

Handdrawn-lite comes with two post formats: standard and aside. The difference between them is that all the text of the aside post has a hand written style, while only the title and the meta-informations of the standard post have a hand written style.
This theme allow users to add a clip mask to the featured image, with the shape of a circle or with the shape of a cloud. When you edit a post, under the "Handdrawn svg options" area you can find a select option which contains the shape of the clip masks. When you select "circle" or "cloud" a new checkbox will appear: by checking it the title of the post will be displayed along a circle textpath.

This theme has two registered menu, the primary menu and the social menu. In the dashboard of WordPress, go to Appearance > Menu and click on "create a new menu". Call it "primary" and click on "Create Menu". Now, in the bottom part of the page, in "Menu Settings" > "Theme Locations" click on the "primary" checkbox. Remember to add the pages, links or categories that you want to display in the primary menu, selecting them on the left part of the screen and clicking on "add to menu".The social menu, which appears at the top right of the screen, contains links to the social network entered by the user (only for the following social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ ).
