Foundation, for WordPress, is a blank starter theme with the exceptional capabilities of ZURB's Foundation Framework and HTML5 Boilerplate.
Foundation, for WordPress, features everything ZURB's Foundation Framework and HTML5 Boilerplate have to offer, however, some changes have been made to tailer it to WordPress, these include:
- All your common WordPress template files
- Orbit for WordPress, ZURB's image and content slider tailored for WordPress, with the ability to manage your slider through WordPress
- A ySlow score of 99 (in regards to 'Small Site or Blog')
- Clean, validated code
- Two sidebars (one on the right & one on the footer)
- A little snippet that 'hides' the address bar on the iPhone
- An extremely awesome pagination script by @ericmartin, using Foundations pagination CSS
- An improved viewport snippet, allowing the same scale over horizontal and portrait orientations

Orbit, for WordPress, is Foundation's awesome slider built to work in WordPress. It allows you to manage your slider images and content through the backend. Neat, right?
Just head into your admin panel, and:
- Click the link named 'Orbit' in the left hand side navigation
- Create a new post within that category
- Click 'Featured Image' on the right hand side
- Upload your image and click 'Set as featured image'
- Hit publish, and you're done!
<h3>Orbit, for WordPress</h3>
<div class="row">
<div class="twelve columns">
<div id="featured">
<?php SliderContent(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When using Orbit, it's best to upload an image to it as the height is inherited - that, or - change the min-height of Orbit within app.css (if your only using text), like so:
.orbit-wrapper {
min-height:400px;
}
You can manage Orbit's options through app.js (don't worry, theres an options page coming shortly)
