Might be best to fit a solid theme you are satisfied with and adapt it to your needs.
This was my adaptation of the default theme provided with 1.5. It has been working fine. I have not updated it in the last 2 weeks. I have enabled the default theme and it gives the same results as my adaptation. What do you mean by a solid theme?
He probably means a well-designed (internally) theme. Kubrick looks purty, but it’s pretty spaghettied inside and breaks pretty easily if you do the wrong thing with it.
Oddly – although it does not look promising the old WP Classic can be a better starting point for hacking.
“Spaghettied” – coder slang 😉 Means code all over the place, not easy for most people to follow. I’ve always hated two things about Kubrick – the CSS file, and the CSS in the index.php. There’s absolutely no reason for it to require CSS code inline. Just more spaghetti to confuse people who don’t know CSS very well.
BTW RustyIndy that is a very fine looking Gemini blog you have there with an NTU style maybe ? Its cool whatever.
Thanks. I guess that I will go back to my adaptation from the classic model. I liked Kubrick because it appeared to me that it broke all of the components into their own structures. I liked this because it gave you access to the individual functions, per se. I am relatively new to php and found it interesting that the ‘default’ view broke the system down to a component view, which I found easier to modify. I find it difficult to understand why WordPress would release a ‘default’ view on a theme that is not ‘solid’.
Root: yup, I’m using the Pollux style on Gemini right now from NTU 🙂 Modified it slightly to get my asides and moblog things going. I will eventually be finished my Passioni theme though – this is just an interim solution for me. I love Gemini 😀
