Travelogue v.1.0.1 ------------- by Josh Lyman www.podq.com ------------- Also available at the wp-themes.org repository at svn.wp-themes.org/travelogue/ A Few Notes: ------------ First of all, thank you very much for downloading Travelogue! I appreciate your support. It is an ongoing development, and though it stands at a full version number, there is always room to improve, and I have ideas already. The theme is fully compatible with WordPress 1.5 and the Theme Switcher plugin. Just drop it into your wp-content/themes folder, switch to it in the Presentation page, and go! Good luck. The Dear Joe Font: ------------------ Dear Joe is provided free of charge and rights by joebob of http://www.joebob.nl/. You are free to use the font for whatever non-commercial uses you wish. If you somehow use your blog for commercial purposes, he asks that you send him a sample or a screenshot of it. How generous! To install this font, either copy it to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ if you are on a PC, or open Font Book and install it if you are on a Mac. The Polaroid, Header, and Sidebar images: ------------------------------- Available for download are two Photoshop PSD files for the theme. Go to http://www.podq.com/travelogue/ to download these files. They are provided so that you can further customize the theme by changing the polaroid picture to something applicable to your blog, changing the caption of it, etc. Perhaps it could even show your most recent snapshot from your travels! Also, the header is a changeable image, and you will more than likely want to change the "Travelogue of a Blogger" to the title of your blog. Just make sure you have installed the "Dear Joe" font correctly before you edit the PSD. After you have made the change to the PSD, jump to ImageReady if you have it and export the appropriate slice. If not, crop the image using the guides and use "Save for Web." The polaroid image can be set to randomly change by creating several different versions of the polaroid image after you have sliced and exported it from ImageReady. Name these images whatever you want, but be sure to change the urls in the style.css file. You will find more information in the CSS file on how to do this. Also be sure to change line 22 of the header to reflect the number of images you have (ie, instead of randint(1,1) make it randint(1,X) where X is the number of images you have). Finally, the sidebar image is also included so that you can tweak/change the color of the sidebar. It is large because it needs to be exported as such to stretch to fill any menus you may have. Invalid XHTML? -------------- Yes yes yes, stop your shrieking. Check out http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/06/march-to-your-own-standard . If I figure out how to make it XHMTL compatible in the future (it's the sidebar boxes that are throwing it off) I will do so. Is the sky still up? Problems and Troubleshooting: ----------------------------- Visit me at www.podq.com or shoot me an email at uplink333@gmail.com if you have any issues. Just make sure you try to figure it out yourself first, go and learn something. Have fun with it!
