Installation

Upload and activate plugins
Upload the content of plugins folder into your wp-content/plugins directory. Log in to the administration panel and activate the Wp-Pagenavi and flickrRSS (if you dont want to use photo album section, do not activate the flickrRSS).

Configuration of Flickrrss
While you are in the administration panel of WordPress, click on Settings>flickrRSS write your id number to first row. On the second row, chose user from the dropdown menu, item using 7 – square images. Do not change anything else, scroll down and click on Save Settings.

Getting necessary hacks over theme files
Create your categories for Featured (top section with three entries), bottom left (entertainment) and bottom right (other news) sections.

Lets say that you’ve created four categories that are Featured – Entertainment – Health and Technology. You want to display all entries that belong to the featured category on the top, Entertainment on the bottom left and all the other category entries to be displayed on the bottom right side.

Check this post to find out how to get category ID’s.

Setting up featured section
Now open index.php file with a text editor find the following snippet.
<h4 style="margin-right:15px;">Featured entries</h4>

<?php query_posts(’cat=3&showposts=3?); ?>
Cat=3 is the place where you need to edit. Change the number 3 to category ID of your post that you want to appear on the top section of the theme. Also, you can replace Featured entries text with something else that you want to appear above the entries.

Setting up bottom left section
In the index.php file, look for following code of snippet.

<h4>Entertainment</h4>

<?php query_posts('cat=4&showposts=3'); ?>

Change the Entertainment title to something else that you want to. Replace the category ID for with the one you want to be displayed on the bottom left section.

Setting up bottom right section
We are carrying on with editing of index.php

<h4>Other News</h4>

<?php query_posts('cat=5,6,7,8,9&showposts=7'); ?>

On that column, I display multiple category entries. Make sure to seperate two categories ID numbers with a comma.

Writing entries
The images on the featured and bottom left sides are custom fields. The key for featured section is top, for bottom left side is bottom.
