Just put up a new theme on the blog. It’s my first customization attempt at a WordPress theme. Let me know what you think! I tried to keep it clean and simple, much better readability I think than the old black background with white text theme I had.
I do still have some items to change and tweak up, but that’s okay. I had to publish it at this point, or else it probably never would get done – at least only having a few tweaks left will motivate me to get them done since it is now live.
Recently for a school project I was working on, I had to develop an XTHML 1.1 Strict validated page and a validated CSS to style the page. This was not a problem in and of itself, however there were several problems that I encountered while trying to serve the pages to different browsers and to the W3C’s validator.
What this post will attempt to do is cover several items that I found necessary to accomplish a page that displayed properly in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Netscape 9, SeaMonkey, Opera and Safari for Windows. I have not fully tested the resulting pages on the Linux or Mac platforms yet, so I will attempt to do that when time permits. I did however use BrowserCamp to get a screen shot of what it looks like in Safari 2.0.4 and there were some CSS issues (I assume anyway).
I have released the barebones Glassy Goodness Web Template for sale as of today for only $4.95, the full template will cost at least $9.95 or more, which is still a great bargain for a professionally designed template that is 100% Validated XHTML and 100% Validated CSS layout (NO TABLES!!).
If you feel generous and like the template, go ahead and click to buy
Thanks in advance for your support of reading SPWD, and reading the tutorials and in the event that you purchase something through us, we thank-you even more.
In the next few weeks I will be starting to post the first series of tutorials. I have been working on the following tutorials:
Fireworks: Creating Smooth Lines – An approach to creating curved lines in square/rectangle spaces.
PHP: Creating effective user login control.
Dreamweaver: Effective use of built-in tools for site maintenance.
CSS: Add some style to a boring page.
As I progress, the tutorials may or may not follow a pattern, such as tutorial 2 in Fireworks may or may not be an extension or addition to tutorial 1. If there are connecting tutorials, they will be linked accordingly for ease of use.
