In reply to: code for excluding pages in blix headerOk. You’ll have to go into the BX_functions.php file and change the SQL string that gets the pages, I think.
Actually… perhaps I’m not understanding what you are trying to do. Have you made a seperate page for every category? They all look the same to me.

In reply to: code for excluding pages in blix headerWhat does the permalink for a category page look like?

In reply to: What features do you look for in a image/media gallerylikoma :: Yeah, people who suggest manual resizing have definitely never tried to maintain a photoblog.
As long as this thing can handle Flash files I’ll be a pig in mud.

In reply to: Page Template creationI think what he means is that he set a template to a page but the page didn’t use the template to render itself… it merely used the default page template.

In reply to: [New Theme] – Thin Green Linemiklb :: Thanks for the heads up. I’ll wrap those columns in div’s. No sweat. I’ve got some tweaks already in the works to make it a more robust theme.
There’s a couple more public domain templates I saw that I want to convert… they look way cool and would make stellar themes.

In reply to: What features do you look for in a image/media galleryI dunno… I’ll tell you whether or not I get an error.

In reply to: [New Theme] – Thin Green LineNo rush. I won’t touch the sidebar until I get yours back. There’s plenty of other fish to fry so don’t think you’re holding me up at all. 🙂
Bhoney :: Great question! Here it is plain and simple (if there is such a thing.. and if there is it’s never following someone claiming plainness and simplicity).
On white backgrounds using light & bright colors has a very clean look to it. It is sharp and classy without being at all brash. Using none bright colors (like f00, 0f0, or 00f) is too strong and domineering on a neutral white background… so you go with fc0, or cf0, or c0f.
Now, to address the line green question. Certain very light colors look better than others. Almost assuredly the lighter reds look pink, and many people avoid pink unless they’re deliberately trying for it (because it connotes too much). The lighter yellows often are too light, and when they’re aren’t too light they look dull and urine-like (not always). Very light blues somtimes look too much like the photo gallery for a newborn baby boy. (this can happen, also, with pink for a girl)
Sssoooo… long answer to a simple question… the best (imho) bright colors for a clean white page are lime green, yellow-orange, and soft magenta. But don’t take my word for it… just look around. 🙂
btw, an extra bonus of the lime-green and yellow-orange is that they look great on black, too!

In reply to: [New Theme] – Thin Green LineV, you’re the best! 🙂
I plan on addressing some of those finer details with some tweaking, but I didn’t want to undo or redo anything you did, so is there a way that after you do what you are going to that you could send me what you have done? Or, is there a way to allow us to wiki it together?
Yeah, the H1 thing needed a fix (and I’d carry the style with it to the H2 ebcause it looks nice). The sidebar could be cleaned up and some more functionality (even if commented out initially). There were some spacing tweaks I saw that would benefit it, too.

In reply to: Set theme at URLWow… whatever narcotics I’m on must be some good stuff! 🙂 Thanks for the calibration. I wasn’t using case sensitive theme name!?!? 🙂
This will motivate me to modify my “installed” themes to work with my current setup *instead of looking all goofy and discombabulated-sp?). Cool! Thanks for your help!

In reply to: [New Theme] – Thin Green LineArgh! 🙂 Good catch. I will say that I think I integrated more WP features… and now that I know this exists I will work with renewed vigor to bring mine up to epic proportions. (There can be only one!) 🙂
I searched the WP forums and didn’t find anything so I don’t think this person has released this to WP officially yet (if there is such a thing). Confusing.

In reply to: Set theme at URLI didn’t really want users to be able to choose their own theme (not yet, anyway), but I wanted to be able to view my own site in a prospective theme (or an experimental one) without having to change my real, live theme and without having to install an entire seperate blog just for seeing how different themes would look on mine.
I tried the syntax you mention above, but it didn’t do anything.

In reply to: images and gallery question…If you have Flickr images then FAlbum really is the way to go. Check out my gallery to see it in action.

In reply to: Set theme at URLOkay, I already have that plugin installed and activated, but I’m unsure of the URL syntax to use (and the docs are pretty thin).
