Are you a guru, an expert, a coach or consultant? The The Guru Theme is what you need for personal branding and impressing your potential clients.
The Guru Theme for WordPress focuses on building your brand name and portfolio, by nurturing credibility and trust with your readers. It’s not a theme meant for Google Adsense advertising or annoying banners, although you can put them in if you want.
Right on top is a huge image space to create your own blog banners and headers, probably with a professional image of yourself.
Next, we have 3 sidebars in total, with the main wider sidebar on top of the other 2 sidebars, giving you massive flexibility on using WordPress widgets to completely customize the type of information you want to put out.
All the subscribe buttons and search form is neatly laid out right on top, with support for Feedburner RSS and email subscription.
However, the really cool part of The Guru Theme is the ability to have a complete testimonials page, with a rotating widget that displays a random testimonial.
To do this you need to install the WP Testimonials plugin and while creating your testimonials page, select the template “Testimonials” from the Page Templates section, and load up on the testimonials or portfolio information.
The plugin then allows you to add a random rotating testimonial in the sidebar, via widgets.
