It’s getting closer.

So, here is the latest installment of the GLUE theme I’m working on. The next piece I need to deal with is the side-bar. I’m going to break it up into several boxes, (as it is on my site) and I need to play with the section headers a bit. Other than that, it looks like I just have a bunch of little tweaks to make.

Edit: I pulled the screenshots down, since the theme is now part of GLUE 1.0 RC1

Also of note: I’ve given up on making IE behave with well with a table-less layout for now. I figure a certain amount of arrogance when it comes to how I think the web “should” be built is fine on my site, but these themes really need to look “right” on as many browsers as possible.

I have tried to keep the use of tables for layout to a minimum – but at least IE isn’t mangling the layout too much anymore.

Edit: it’s still a silly acronym… :p

Okay, so I like have this GLUE theme, right? And it’s like, totally based on my website and stuff.

Well, see – I’m like trying to do the layout without resorting to tables – cuz I totally did it that way on my site, but – like, I might have to, you know, NOT do it that way, since we need these things to look good in IE and stuff. Unless I can, like, totally find a killer way to make it work, I’ll like, end up putting the left and right columns into a table so we don’t end up with those totaly bogus margin problems in IE. You know, I can be like totaly – “what-ever dude” about it on my own site, but not here and stuff.

So anyway – here’s the first rough GLUE theme based on hooloovoo.net, but I still have a lot of work to do on it. The screen shot was taken with Mozilla.

(You don’t even want to see how IE mangles it.)

So I’m the latest GLUE design/test monkey. (I was just a test monkey before.)

After a few hours spent trying to get Jabber to work, (with moderate success – I was able to chat with Gossip a bit,) I’ve just started playing with a GLUE theme.

I’m also going take a look at the templates and see how much I can screw with the basic layout. This should be fun.

Bleargh

I just was working on a gallery page for the rafting photos. I was testing the javascript out when I closed the page in the editor without saving. I hate it when I do stupid stuff like that.

I suddenly don’t feel like working on it anymore. I think I’ll go make dinner now. Avocado and chicken quesadillas – yum.
