Mea Culpa,

mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. More eager then inspired I published today successively a DownRight Theme version 1, version 1.0 and version 1.1. I know I have at least frustrated one person extremely ... I am so sorry Unscathed. What I did: publishing this Theme with the Widgets NOT expanded .. permitting the Blogger Engine to use defaults (thus losing my code changes)! I'm an OAF! Said again: Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatæ Mariæ semper Virgini, beato Michæli Archangelo, beato Ioanni Baptistæ, sanctis Apostolis Petro et Paulo, omnibus Sanctis, et vobis, fratres (et tibi pater), quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo et opere: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Ideo precor beatam Mariam semper Virginem, beatum Michælem Archangelum, beatum Ioannem Baptistam, sanctos Apostolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes Sanctos, et vos, fratres (et te, pater), orare pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum. Amen. I have corrected my errors ... confessed my sins :-( What more can I say: the Proof of the Pudding is in these WorkShop Pages!

You Ask, I Deliver

On the Blogger Forum one inquired about a WordPress Theme (not yet) ported to Blogger: the Journalist (1.01) Theme by Lucian Marin. Although this theme has a GPL license I still want to ask the designer's permission ... and/but meanwhile tinkered that template. Here's a demo! UPDATE: Published (download available in the left sidebar). The following Variables are present: Page Background Color Page Text Color Link Color Hover Color Blog Header Link Color Blog Title Color Blog Description Color Post Title Color Border Color Sidebar Link Border Color Sidebar Link Hover Border Color Date Header Color Date Header Bg Color Sidebar H2 Color Sidebar Text Color Post Footer Color Page Text Font Blog Title Font Blog Description Font Post Title Font Date Header Font Sidebar H2 Font Sidebar Font Post Footer Font [ that 'You Ask, I Deliver' is a joke, of course! ]

DownRight Ready

This is a clean 3-column Beta New Blogger Theme (template). It is the old tb_b_20051225_black template transformed into this DownRight Blogger Theme (main box fluid, sidebar boxes width: 200px). In the end it's all a matter of taste of course, but ... some found the tb_b designs utterly tedious ... others loved the templates for their convenience to be changed and tweaked & there are no images added! Whatever you want. It is ready to use, but I take the liberty to label this one DownRight v0.1 v1.2. As you can see the WorkShop is using this very Theme already. It seems to be working properly (tested in MIE7, MIE6, Firefox, Opera) ... fingers crossed! UPDATE (Saturday, January 27, 2007): Published! (Download v1.2 available in the left sidebar.) But as I said: this IS a BETA! Theme behaves good, except for that fix for long (non-)text content breaking IE sidebar float ... I cannot make this work properly in a fluid layout. So the fix is disabled (untill I have fixed it, of course). The following Variables are present: Page Background Color Text Color Link Color Hover Color Blog Title Color Blog Description Color Post Color Post Title Color Post Date Header Color Side Title Color Side Font Color Border Color Body Font Blog Title Font Blog Description Font Post Font Post Title Font Post Date Header Font Sidebar Font Sidebar Title Font Post Footer Font And they DO work ... in the v1.2. In the css section there are special entries for some Page Elements and more, like this: /*****************/ /* Archive List Styles */ /*****************/ #ArchiveList ul li { font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; text-align: left; } Blogger Profile Styles Archive List Styles Blog Feeds Styles Blog Pager Styles Et cetera The DownRight DashBoard:
