Conversation Category Styled

The basic Conversation Category is now styled. You have two default options for how it looks. If you keep all your dialog in one paragraph, each speaker will not be separated by the darker blue line, but if you put each person in their own paragraph, the conversation will separate out nicely. Check it out [...]

Me: Did you know the Conversation Category is now styled? You: No, what does it look like? Me: Well, there are two looks right now.  If you break up the dialog into paragraphs, it looks like this. You: But what happens if you don’t break up the dialog? Me: Then your conversation will end up [...]

Under the hood improvements

While not much has changed with the visual of T1, there have been several changes made to the code. I’m currently working on cleaning up, organizing, and commenting the stylesheet so even I can figure out what’s going on.

Archives Page

The ELA plugin is no longer supported/styled by default in the T1 theme. The Archives Page template now supports the Extended Live Archives plugin with the styles from the K2 theme. See it in action over in the Archives. Of course with WordPress 2.3 soon to arrive, I may have to look for another solution. [...]

Custom Stylesheet

T1 now has a custom stylesheet for easier modifications to specific elements thanks to Chris Pearson’s tip for Future Proof CSS Styling. This is where you will be able to make custom changes to the theme without modifying the original stylesheet. I plan to move the custom category styles to this sheet along with a [...]

The Development Menu has been removed since the release of T1 I’ve just placed a Development Menu on the site to help navigate through things as changes are made to the theme. Right now you’ll see a list of pages and a simple ToDo list of what needs to be done with T1. Let me [...]
