The T1 theme is officially available. Grab it from the Download section.
Remember, if you have trouble or suggestions, visit the T1 Forum.
Enjoy!
I just set up a forum for the T1 theme.
If you have troubles or suggestions for improvements, head over to the forum.
The Setup Page is now complete giving detailed instructions for getting your tumblelog up and running with WordPress and the new T1 theme.
The T1 site has been rearranged to give newcomers a fresh landing page letting them know everything they need to know about the T1 theme. Check it out.
The T1 Theme is almost complete and ready to be released. The theme site is up and running using the actual theme to give you a working example. Although most of the blog post fall in the “Journal” category, you can still get a good idea of how your site will be displayed with a wide variety of content.
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 below ↓ .
I would like to eventually incorporate the ability to automatically separate each line as well as the person from what they are saying so everything can be styled individually. I’ve seen this done with Gelato, and I even have the code to merge into the T1 theme somehow, but I haven’t spent the time to figure it out. For how little I plan to use the conversation category, what I have will work fine for now.
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 looking more like this section.
You: Oh, I see.
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.
While it seems like I’m adding to the ToDo list faster than I’m completing things, one of the more time consuming items is getting a working category and date archive template. Right now, I’m using the Extended Live Archives Plugin for the “Archive” page, but I still need to make the category and date archive pages look and function like the rest of the site.
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. But for now, this will do the job.
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 blank slate example for adding other custom categories of your choice.
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 know if you have ideas to add to the list.
