Suggest default thumbnail image and social media icons for SWIFT v5.0

Default Thumbnail Image

I selected the color pencils as default thumbnail image in a hurry, It’s time to have a better image which will be apt for all types of posts. v5.0 will be having an image selected Swiftler’s.

Post url’s to the images which can be used as the default thumbnails, once we have enough entries I will pick five from them and then have a poll to select one from them.

  • You can suggest photographs taken by you.
  • Your graphic work (You can create one exclusively for SWIFT if you have time) or
  • Any image that you think will be suitable as default thumbnail for SWIFT.

Before you post, please make sure that they are not copyrighted and free.

Social Media Icons

Using a plugin for social bookmarking sites can make your site heavy. So I’m including that option in SWIFT, so that you don’t have to use a extra plugin.

Suggest a Icon set to be used for the built in social bookmarking option. I prefer hand drawn icons.
Please post the url to icon set of your choice in the comments.

As you can see in the image below, there is room for only 8 icons. Select the 8 bookmarking sites to be used in SWIFT by default. (Maximum of 8 choices are allowed)

    Yes, it is more convenient to have social bookmarking site incorporated into the theme.
    I need help to insert the RSS logo at the top right hand corner. Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks a lot.

  3. Satish,

    I have one suggestion for the Author info box…. It should mention the no. of posts written by the author and it will also be great if the name of the author is hyperlinked to his/her own blog… Please refer to http://www.shoutmeloud for the implementation. http://www.techcats.net is also using the same format.

      • Thanks a lot buddy… :) You are doing a great work… :) You know I was about to purchase Thesis theme… as I liked the theme very much… its readibility and the overall format but then I came across Swift…. and still I had installed it temporarily till I buy thesis…But now…You have my word… My blog will use Swift 5.0 now… No Thesis… Lets make Swift better than Thesis… and I am always there to give you the feed back to help you deliver the best.. :)

  4. Satish, please address to my query mentioned in the Suggestions for Swift 5.0 post. It is urgent please… Most of my readers use IE… the site is not displayed correctly in IE please help me out…

    Thanks in advance…
