Neil Lee’s Beatnik has some eerie similarities to mine — not only is it better looking, but his is 3 years old! (compared to my 3 months at this point). Well, it prompted a bit of a theme evolution … which is a nice change, I think.
I’m converting one of my other themes to a formal “Deep JIve Interests” theme
Things left to do:
1) Decide what the main nav is REALLY going to be like
2) Add a “by-line” somewhere
3) Categorize the category display by “alphabet”
4) Sort out footer
5) Figure out a ‘download” section
6) Have an “above the fold” ADMIN link
7) Create a [...]
To create a “below the fold” effect, you must create a separate entity — a separate div — for this. I created a ‘nested’ footer to create this effect. The separateness allows you to divorce what is going on “above” the fold, with what’s goin on “below” the fold

* cleaned up “categories” and stuff — removed bullets and indenting (removing extraneous ULs)
Also, figured outa “proper” footer
*Challenge: creating a “background” which fits the entire width of the screen, which, unfortunately, is currently outside the “wrapper”
*Solution:
Create a second wrapper “total_wrapper” which is width 100%, around the [...]
Blurbomat is an inspiration!
Moving on …
Problem 1) Previously, the “theme01″ showed that ALL of the post was a “link”
Solution — an unclosed “anchor” (that is
Interesting way I figured this out.
Using the firefox extension “Edit CSS”, I was able to open up each theme, delete the ENTIRE theme, and then see the results … basically, my [...]
