Post Formats – Elegant Themes
The Notebook Theme is a smart blogging theme because it uses WordPress post formats in proper way so that content writers can use all the media types to spread their message. It is not easy to display audio, gallery and other media elements with standard post types as they require lots of efforts. That’s why it brings 4 unique custom post types : Standard, Image, Audio, Video etc.
The list of post-format will be visible on the right side of post editor screen so author can select post type with single click and start creating post. Hence, you can easily host audio files, embed videos from any video website, showcase images. At the same time, you can use standard post format to publish regular articles just like traditional blogger.
