The website you are looking at right now is using the WeaverII-Pro Theme. In order to show the contrasts and similarities between Suffusion and Weaver I made this site a facsimile of my website which is currently using Suffision (at least on April 22, 2012) while I am giving a presentation at the East Bay WordPress MeetUp. Click this link if you want to switch to the Suffusion version of this post. The other site will open in a new window so you can compare. You’ll see that the initial look is very similar. I didn’t strive to make the two sites identical, I just wanted them to have a similar look and feel.
Bruce Wampler, the author of Weaver, has spent 100s of hours documenting the theme. So instead of trying to replicate his work I will give you a guided tour of the Weaver Theme and show you what it can do. Well look as some of Bruce’s guides and demos, and what the admin interface looks like; and then we’ll look at some of the sites I’ve built using Weaver.
Feel free to come back and take your time using these links for a self-guided tour.
