Magazine theme updates

[Ryan Lerch]

Hi all,

I have been working on the magazine theme, trying to get a bit of 
functionaltuy in place for the upcoming systemd series.

Here is a quick test of it working on a sample wordpress:

http://fedoramagazine-rlerch.rhcloud.com/2015/10/09/systemd-article-1/

It uses a wordpress custom taxonomy to group the posts and display them 
in the sidebar if a post is part of a series.

You can create a new series in the menu item in the dashboard Posts > 
Post Series, and then you can add posts to a specific series in the editor.

In another quick edit in this version of the theme, i changed the recent 
posts widget so it doesnt show the post you are viewing in the recent posts.

Will try to get this version of the theme up on the stage ASAP so you 
all can have a proper look at it.

cheer,s

Nice work!  I'm going to try to work on your "part 0" article while
stuck at an appointment midday today.

Bryan, you should be able to preview it, but it's not covering
anything in the future parts of the series.  Just an explanation of
what systemd is, how it initializes the system, and noting that a
series of articles will be coming up to give tips and info.

Nice work, that will be great for the systemd articles and other series
we may want to consider writing in the future. I was thinking of
possibly a "Getting Started" series of some kind for Fedora IRC in the
farther future.


Cheers,

That's a nice feature -- looks good!

One bit of comment on the theme more generally -- I really like to see
date and author up near the top of a page. Those bits of information
are extremely important when you see a post and decide whether or 
not to read on. Old posts are worth much less than current posts,
and a trusted/recognizable name goes a long way to establishing
interest -- I get annoyed when I have to scroll around for this info.

I mention it here because when I saw the subject line, this is one 
of the updates I was wishing to see. :)

Awesome! I have created a feature request in the theme issue tracker here:

https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme/issue/1

Also, everyone else feel free to file bugs / feature requests against 
the theme there too!
