Maybe we will win?
Category: artvoice

I was looking at the other competition for best local blog and I think there is a possibilty of winning. It all depends of how people perceived the meaning of blog. We are more of a blogging community.

I think we have a lot going over

but I think we have some still competition from

and

However, I personally voted us for best local website and I have a feeling lots of the readers did to, so that probably reduced our overall votes in the best local website category.

I honestly cannot believe buffalo.com, buffalohaybars.com and buffalobarfly are on the best website list.

Well, best of luck. See you at the event.

I admit I havn't been to Buffalobarfly in a long time but it used to be verry good. It had a lot of hot quality bar shots of guys and girls and you could buy the pictures and you would get like the first 10 free. They also had some pictures up from Shreed and Regean that where two risque fot the EDGE's web site back then. They used to be a great site no idea how they are now. I always want to take shots like that when I'm out but feal not Pervy enough maybe I should start. Buffalo used to be a verry good site also but now it is mostly only news and the same news as the Buffalo News site but I bet when you look up Buffalo on web searchs a lot of people get it. I'm not saying that it deserves to win but when a lot of people use it, it gets a lot of votes. The same thing as buffalo bar fly. It isn't really a whats best catogory it is what is most popular or best known catogory.

Custom Themes Continued
Category: design

I saw (e:scott)'s comment about how he updated his theme, so here is the new visual.

I am thinking about adding a preference option to have it "autoplay" a user's theme if they have one made when you are logged in and visit their journal.

Rememeber for even more control there is always the API.

I wasn't complainin'. (I just hadn't finished yet)

I really like the theme feature. Works great. ;)

That top one kinda looks like mine but I don't have any pictures in that top part. Maybe sometime I will figure out how to do that.

More updates - custom themes
Category: estrip

It's been a busy night. You can now edit your own custom color themes.

The color picker comes with no instructions other than these few simple ones.

Open up the custom color control panel by clicking on the color palette icon in your control panel.

To change a color, click on the color in your swatch table.

The color slider widget saves the color into a little palette to grab later, if you want to return to the original color.

Now simple change the slider to change the color. When you have changed enough color you can save your theme.

Image paths such as the background image and hr can both be absolute URLS.

Once you have saved your theme, you can select it from the theme list by clicking on the default face icon in the themes list at the top of the site.

You cannot and will not be able to change the layout, it you wish a different layout, you can use the estrip api.

I will probably update the interface soon but for now it is functional.

Hint: you may need to empty your cache if you find your themes color changes are not taking hold.

Your welcome,
Paul

You can begin butchering my carefully planned designs!

Can I choose winter theme to start, then save my changes to it as u_twisted? I'm guessing I can't overwrite a system theme, but I don't want to risk it.
