Dan, how long before you release this one?

Dan · 3 years ago

A long time after I figure out why Safari doesn't like it.

Yet another brillaint design and work... lookiing forward to the release (It works fine on Firefox... so good reason for it to go live :) )

Arun · 3 years ago

BTW, is the theme going to have a 'sidebar' - i think it would be a great idea. Non the less, your sidebar in the 'Archives' page seems to be not aligned and it is right at the bottom right side.

Dan · 3 years ago

I'm over sidebars for this design. And the sideabr on the pages is something I still need to fix.

Phil Bowell · 3 years ago

I love this!! It's immense!! I hope you can make it into a plugin for others to use. I'm on Safari by the way, and it seems to be playing nicely!!

Phil Bowell · 3 years ago

I would edit my post but I can't. Did you mean the form working in Safari or the Tags dropdown??

The form works, but the drop down has a big gap underneath it. The gap stays under the drop down link when its collapsed or open. Email me or leave a comment if you want some screen grabs.

Dan · 3 years ago

Yeah that is what I was talking about and I use OS X so I know what it looks like I just don't know how to fix it.

Ryan · 3 years ago

This looks great!

Question though, since you're going to stop updating the sca4ered theme is it best to stop using it? There's still the obvious problem of IE 6 hating it.

Dan · 3 years ago

Sca4ered will still see development. Tony was kind enough to jump in and help the dev, I will also release my older theme to somewhat replace it.

Tony Guntharpq · 3 years ago

Thanks Dan for allowing me to continue the work that you've started with Sca4ered.

Dan · 3 years ago

Tony: You're welcome.

Phil: I just got it to work.

Phil Bowell · 3 years ago

Yeah I noticed Dan. Nice, I really like the look of your site. Good work!!

Lots of room off to both sides of the main reading area. You thinking about droppin' a 3 column theme to fill in the space? I bet you are.

Dan · 3 years ago

There is nothing that I would want to clutter up my theme enough to make this a three or two column template.

Just no need.

I can include everything with more sliders, like the tags and elsewhere. I am contemplating moving activity to a new slidedown to share it with something and then have the footer only archives. It makes more sense.

JasonB · 3 years ago

why don't use do some "blades" that come in from the sides?

Dan · 3 years ago

From the sides? Are you insane? You might need something checked.

But if you were serious:
Design - it wouldn't work, especially with people with smaller screens, like a 12" iBook.
Functionality and flow - goes against the grain too much.

nstryker · 3 years ago

so seriously, what's up with all the blank space on the sides?

Dan · 3 years ago

<strike>I don't like sidebars. I should really post on it but I think they clutter up space too much and if you can avoid them you might as well. My index has everything on it that I want, nothing other then blog links or a shoutbox I could add and feel pleased about the purpose of the addition.</strike>
<strike>I understand that not having sidebars looks abnormal from other blogs but that's the point, I want something that is designed different and puts the info in a better style then the cookie cutter styles that are so prominent.</strike>
<strike>Does anyone even look at sidebars anymore? I don't.</strike>
<strike>FYI. I'm still not finished with the width, I need to collect some info before find the perfect content width.</strike>
