story|ftw

Story|ftw extends the publishing power of your WordPress theme. Allows you to easily tell full screen — no header, footer, or menu — stories with a rich range of content and style elements.

Publish on WordPress? Have mobile traffic that continues to rise? Are you fighting to keep your readers focused on your stories?

Originally the plugin was created to better capture and convert the ever rising mobile traffic from paid Facebook ads. During the course of development it has grown in range and scope and bells and whistles.
