SemPress is a highly semantic, HTML5 template, responsive and seo optimized. The theme supports most of the new HTML5 tags, the new HTML5 input-types, microformats, microformats v2 and microdata (Schema.org).

POSH – Plain old Semantic HTML
From the micrormats wiki:
The term semantic-html is a mouthful, and belies both how simple it is, how well established
it is among modern web designers, and the fact that it has benefits far beyond the obvious doing
the right thing for the Web by using semantic markup. We need a simple short mnemonic term that
captures the essence of the concept, and is easily verbed (to posh, poshify, poshed up).
SemPress is fully HTML5 compatible and uses a lot of the new tags, semantics and input-types.

Thank you, very nice theme theme.
I love this theme!
I am enjoying SEM PRESS, and have a couple questions:
Is it based on the Twenty Twelve theme?
Is there support for featured images?
I find schema.org support a strong feature.
Have you considered adding a ‘custom post type’ that would enable entry of Schema.org : Reviews ?
Thanks Tim
To answer your questions:
[...] Ich wollte das seitdem im Blog irgendwie einbauen und bin dann vor kurzem irgendwie auf dem Theme SemPress [...]
Das Theme ist toll.
Danke sehr.
Frage: Gibt es irgendwo eine Übersicht, wie die Post-Types und Inhalte, wie blockquote und co aussehen?
Vielen Dank Sven
Ich hab hier mal ne Demo installiert: http://sempress.rs.af.cm aber in den nächsten Wochen sollte ne neue Version online gehen.
servus, dein theme ist wirklich klasse. danke dafür! vielleicht kannst du in einer deiner kommenden versionen das automatische verschieben der widgets ans ende des blogs irgendwie optional machen? auf dem ipad bräuchte ich das nämlich nicht, und da werden die widgets auch nach unten verfrachtet
Danke
und ich schau mal ob ich das optional mache… Vielleicht ein extra “Responsive CSS” welches man deaktivieren kann.
Hi Matthias,
Very great theme!
I have a question, in your website (as well as in the image in this post) there’s an image on the left side of each blog post.
It seems an icon associated with the category… how can I implement that?
Thanks!
These images are part of SemPress and will show up if you use the other Post-Formats like “Quote”, “Video”, “Audio”, …
Thank you, Very great theme!
Great theme, thanks!
Hello Matthias,
Nice theme, thank you.
Greetings, Linda
