Welcome to Jura

September 20th, 2006 · 5 Comments

Jura is the template/theme I have been working on for the last few weeks. It is still in beta but I want to give it a proper run on the blog to see what people think and on the basis that many eyes find more bugs :)

I plan to slowly add more features and if I can read up on things like ’sidebar widgets’ I will release a general version under GPL.

    Ooooo Kev, this is a *great* template, and a lovely theme!! I do hope you will be sharing *grin*

    I use 1024×768 screen rez, but checked in 800×600… in that view, the right sidebar hovers over a portion of your center content.

    The one thing that I think is neat is how you have your post info to the right of the post… very unique idea! The info part (dates and the name of the person who left a comment)… did you want that to touch the very right edge of the blue background? If not, you could add something like

    .info {
    padding-right: 5px;
    }

    But if you wanted it on the edge, just ignore me lol.

    I had to manually add line breaks in my comment to separate the paragraphs. Of course, I’m going by the neat WYSIWYG comment thingy you have, so it very well may look different when I save my comments lol.

    Overall, you deserve a huge pat on the back cuz this is an amazing template/theme!!!

    Hugs,
    Artie

    jEN thank you.

    Artie, I need to check 800×600, it was quite late in the design when I settled on this method for the 3 columns, it is the A List Apart way.

    I think you are right about the padding-right on the info box.

    I am pleased with the way the info box makes the theme look different, also I can display the mood entries from my plug-in without them just being stuck at the top or bottom of the post.
    I will need to make a special version for the theme.

    I can see what you mean about the preview, it is not my code but I will have a poke about and see if I can do anything.

    Cheers
