O'Reilly Maker is a blast.

This is a great little Internet toy. I had a go at Silverlight cuz it's annoying me right now.

Wild New Blog Engine Theme: Discovery

Posted by Adam

I found this Discovery theme on www.freecsstemplates.org and I thought it would make a great BlogEngine theme. I think I am going to take a break from BlogEngine themes for a while (not too long ;-). I am really not a designer and I fear that I just don't have the patience to monkey around in CSS for a few hours just to find out my work only looks good in IE and not in FireFox.

I have decided to put this theme out and then customize it for my blog. Here are some interesting notes about this theme:

  1. I thought it was too narrow so I widened it. To do so I needed to make the Cheetah picture longer. My Photoshop skillz are definitely lacking. I recommend you replace that picture with one of your own.
  2. The menu was originally styled incorrectly when viewed in FireFox so I noodled with the CSS until it worked. In doing so I learned two really interesting things about the IE Developer Toolbar witch I will share in a subsequent post.

You can download the theme here.

As always, if you have any problems, questions, or kudos, pass them along.

New Blog Engine Theme: MarketPlace 1.0

Posted by Adam

My friends Jason and Jesse and I are having a blast converting different themes for BlogEngine.Net. I think it would be fun to write some extensions as well. I took the original version of this theme from www.styleshout.com.  This is my first pass at this so I expect there to be some issues. If you have any problems or questions about this theme please let me know. You can download it here.

I am always browsing through the various free CSS templates out there and I have a whole list of themes I want to convert as time and patience allows.  I am particularly impressed with Jason's 'StarGazer' theme.

Thanks for the 'Gluttony' Jesse!

Posted by Adam

Thanks to Jesse Foster for converting the 'Gluttony' Wordpress theme for use with Blogengine.net. I imagine there will be a flood of themes converted for/by the blogengine.net community in the days to come. I think I'll leave the cube for a while as small token of thanks. ;-)
