thetalkingfowl – Flickr album not loading

Tolu Sonaike — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:00:19 +0000

Got a lot of emails on this. Apparently some people have problems with their flickr photoalbums not loading for thetalkingfowl theme. I have a temporary fix.
Download this:

functions.php

file and override the current one you have

git is complicated…

…for the basic VCS user.

Initially, the concept seems easy right? Pull, Push, Poke (joke)

Until you realise you just multiplied the already complex concept (at least for me) of having a repo when every body has their own repo. Maybe its because i never really understood all the concepts of VCS. Never really had to. I am a basic user. With SVN i just checkout , modify, check in. Merge if i had to. Plus they are abundance of SVN clients that made visualizing the whole process pretty easy (i am sure more will be available for git with time). With git, there seems to be a million ways to do things. Don’t believe me? Go to stackoverflow and search.

Jeez all i want to do is discard my last commit….err…reset my last commit…..revert my last commit……HEAD? HEAD^ ? HEAD1? HEAD2 ? soft ? hard? checkout my last staging?

Staging. The ultimate cock-block. It seems like its always in the way of getting shit done.

Before i get flamed. I am sure other version control systems have a million ways to do things but it “feels” like a set of standard commands have bubbled up and have become best practice(?).

I AM SURE alot of these concepts are very useful. But you dont really get to see the advantages UNTIL you need them. Which, in my case, means you never really get to understand them.

Tolu Sonaike — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 05:01:43 +0000

DEMO | DOWNLOAD

Built another child theme for wordpress using the thematic framework. Focused more on appearance with this theme and wanted to see how far i can push the cosmetic boundaries of using a theme framework.
Chromey combines a lot of the commonly used design elements such as: GRADIENT, texture noise, metallic grays, plump icons, insets, and colorful high contrast images. Some available options are:

Featured page template
Static and/or Dynamic feature content slider
Thumbnails

iusehelvetica – a thematic child theme for wordpress

Tolu Sonaike — Tue, 11 May 2010 05:02:41 +0000

DEMO | DEMO (white) | DOWNLOAD

iusehelvetica is a minimalist wordpress child theme based on the Thematic framework. It is served in two hipster flavors: White/black and black/white (and of course you can always edit the css if you are anal like that)

Theme options:

* Static and fixed sidebars.
* Add logo (resizable).
* Inverted stylesheet available.
* Recent posting widget 2.0.
* Analytics box.
* Thumbnails.

Requirements:

* Only tested with wordpress 2.9.2. (thumbnails)
* Requires the Thematic framework.

Bugs:

* Fixed sidebars do not work well in IE6.
* Problem with preset widgets (When theme is activated, a visit to appearance->widget is required before correct preset widget shows up).
