Brighthouse updated and I'm off

Posted by Richard White Tue, 21 Feb 2006 13:08:00 GMT

Just a quick note that I have now added a version to the link to the Brighthouse theme on sidebar. Considering I rapidly threw together this theme yesterday morning it was bound to go through a couple iterations throughout the day. Let me know if you like it and definently send me a link to your blog if you’re using it, one person already has.

I’m also running out the door as we speak to catch a flight up to Boston to join the rest of the Kiko team. We’ll be making our final push to 2.0 (as in version 2.0 not web 2.0) this week, I’ll give you more updates on that as we get closer

    love the theme… am using it right now!

  2. Jake Good said about 4 hours later:

    p.s. is there anyway you can put this into an svn repository? that way when you make updates we can simply run one “svn update” command… the only bad part would be the “About Me” section, which would end up being clobbered if changed…

  3. Richard White said about 9 hours later:

    Yeah thats a good idea I’ll put it into my SVN at some point in the near future and post the link on here.

    I was wondering what to do with the about section. I’m thinking the best way to do it would be to have the about box be something you create with a static sidebar element. And as long as you give it the right id attribute all will turn out well. I’ll get right on that as well.

  4. Jake Good said about 10 hours later:

    I tend to use a static sidebar element for the About Me anyway… it might be a good idea to allow people to put a div in there or maybe you could even release a sidebar item yourself that does that…

    I have modified it slightly at:

    http://www.thoughtstoblog.com

    - I took out the pink lettering and put in a red - I removed the About Me section from the template, while also removing the javascript line at the bottom of the template. - I changed the “code” pre tag element to return grey on black instead of green on black, only because of visual taste.

    Great work so far, I like your work!

    I have no idea why these comments are out of order or why when I post articles they show up as being posted 6 hours ago, if anyone knows please clue me in :)

    Are you using PostgreSQL?

    I hear there are problems with that…

  7. Richard white said 2 days later:

    I am actually using PostgreSQL, I’ll have to look into issues with that b/c this is getting very annoying

    Also ran into problems getting the new SVN repo online for brighthouse, still waiting for TextDrive to resolve them.

    I really like your theme and i’m using in www.larupi.com a weblog about the life in the university in Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain). Thanks ;)

  9. Richard White said 2 days later:

    Dani: wonderful, I’m glad you like it. When I put up a list of all the cool sites on Brighthouse I’ll put yours on the list :)
