I’ve been experimenting with that problem I have with showing full-posts. I believe I’ve narrowed it down to some unexpected Textile behaviour in the back-end. It seems that, with Textile switched on for excerpts , even when you don’t have an excerpt it still puts “p” wrap tags around the blank space. Go figure. So the conditional I’m using ALWAYS thinks there’s an excerpt even when there isn’t one. Well heck! What’s a decent conditional supposed to do in a situation like this? I’ve written it up on the forum so let’s see what happens.
On a brighter front you can watch my Not Sharp – Just a little rounded” (link removed) project as it progresses. It is a live project so please don’t tell me things I know like “this bit doesn’t look right Stuart” cuz I probably haven’t looked at it yet and I know. Still, I have no idea how it looks in IE of any flavour cuz I just daren’t look! It does rely on javascript so if you don’t have it or have it switched off you won’t see the point. Well actually you’ll see lots of them cuz you will see sharp corners. Ha ha. Sort yourself out. It’s not my problem. I’m not going to use this or anything like it here so don’t expect it. It was simply that I’d found this extremely simple technique of applying rounded corners from Alessandro Fulciniti and I wanted to play around with it. I’ve kind of gone to town on it a bit haven’t I? Oh well. It serves two ends. First I can offer a Not Sharp theme set to the community (it will be available in several shades of colour – as I’m no designer should I stick it in the AK competition?) and I can also experiment with my template set. I’ve already started drafting an article I had in mind to set off a discussion about which templates would be a part of the ultimate default set. So alongside that I can now actually create and use it and present it to the community as well. The word Philanthropic comes to mind but I just know I’m going to have to use the spell-checker on it.
