New Layouts Layout

A recent upgrade threw a wobbly with my download tags in my Layouts section. A bit of a pain but it brought forward something I’ve been meaning to do when I had a bit of spare time, not that I seem to have much just at the moment, but I’ve pulled my finger out and spent about 8 hours sorting the damn thing out.

First thing you might notice is that I’ve given my Layouts section a prized birth in my topnav rather that it being hidden inside a drop-down. When you go there you will see that the pages with styles and templates on them look very similar to this one. That’s because I am now using individual articles which also enables me to include a comments invite so that people who may have problems or simply want to heap praises on me can do so with ease.

Also on those pages with downloads you will see at the top the current total number of styles/templates that have been downloaded to date. As I write this the figure has just gone past 16,000!

All you brilliant stylists out there should take heed. First of all that figure is only for downloads since 12/12/04 as I didn’t have any recording facilities prior to that. Second it should be remembered that I specialise in Textpattern and WordPress styles only. If you think on that for a while I challenge you to think of a better shop-window to display your designs.

So come on then. Let’s have some new designs to push please.

    Just donwloaded RIN and installed on my blog. I will soon personalize it, but come have a look. Then I’ll need to ask you or the TXP forum a couple of questions.
    Thanks for the good work!

    Sorry Stuart – I have been a bit tied up doing some fancy php stuff and I have neglected everything else – including my own blog. You seem to be going great guns. Do you think layouts is a good name? Themes? Templates? Whatever. Anyway – long may it last. :)

    No problem Root. I was just updating you. TXP templates have rushed past 1100, Txp Manji is already up to 120. When these things decide to go they fair fly out!

    As for you being preoccupied I know that, though one or two have mentioned your lack of presence.

    I’ll get working on something for TXP Manji soon as I can. :)

    And I’ve certainly noticed your absence of late Root, but we all have a life outside of blogging. Well, I think we do anyway, sometimes I’m not too sure. :)

    Is anyone up for TXP Aphrodite? It has stalled a bit but as a joint effort we could invigorate it.
    I could finish the template, Zenith could do the default CSS style and Stuart could tidy up my mess and do the distro. Developed by Root, Design by Zenith, Ported by Stuart ?

    No problem my end. How far along are you?

    Actually if you have a WP version you can send me I can probably port it across a lot quicker, like tonight. I’ve got nothing to do at the moment.

    I’m up for that, but not for a few days at least, work is keeping me tied up for a bit (damn it’s nice to be able to say that :D).

    Which bit – work or tied up?? :grin:

    The former. The latter – chance would be a fine thing, no time for things like that! :D
