== The SpringBoard Theme ==

SpringBoard is a fork of Justin Tadlock's Hybrid Theme, an advanced WordPress parent theme geared towards
developing customizable WordPress theme layouts.

== Features ==
The theme has everything you need to get started building your site. Here's a list of some of the features:
*	Makes use of standard WordPress functions so that plugins will integrate easily.
*	Dynamic global, post, and comment CSS classes.
*	Fully localized, so you can run SpringBoard in any language.
*	Uses the built-in WordPress menu system. No need to hack your navigation into place.
*	Context-aware action and filter hooks, so you don't have to learn WordPress conditional tags.
*	Some of the most-used filter hooks are shortcode-ready and have accompanying shortcodes.
*	Theme settings page that allows you to add custom meta boxes and settings.
*	Ability to create custom templates for any post type in multiple ways.
*	Highly-configurable widgets that give you full control over their display.
*	Has the Get the Image plugin built in.
*	Has the Breadcrumb Trail plugin built-in.
*	Comes loaded with eight default widget areas.
*	Widget areas are content-aware, meaning that they only appear if they contain active widgets.
*	Widgetized 404 template, which allows you to create a custom 404 error page.
*	And much, much more!

Remember, those are just some of the features. SpringBoard is a foundation that should make it easy to
launch nearly any WordPress-powered site.

== Child Themes ==

SpringBoard is meant to be used as a base theme to build from. What this allows us to do is extend it
through child themes.

Yes, you can create your own theme. Even if you're a total noob to WordPress!

Just create a new theme folder in your `/wp-content/themes` directory. Call it something like 
My SpringBoard or some other much cooler name. So, you'd have a directory like 
`/wp-content/themes/my-SpringBoard`. Then, create a `style.css` file within your theme folder.
At the top, add this information:

/**
 * Theme Name: SpringBoard
 * Theme URI: http://semperthemes.com
 * Description: advanced WordPress parent theme geared towards developing customizable WordPress theme layouts
 * Version: 0.1
 * Author: Michael Torbert
 * Author URI: http://semperfiwebdesign.com
 * Tags: parent theme, framework
 * Template: springboard
 */

Now, you have your own theme! Of course, you might want to style it.  You can import the parent
theme's (SpringBoard's) default CSS by adding the following code and modifying from there.
Alternatively, you can start completely from scratch.

/* Import the SpringBoard parent theme styles. */
@import url( '../springboard/style.css' );
